oh boy, i wish you all the best ;D and the flyers ;D

Haha, it'll be for the experience I tell myself (even though Philly may get blown out). This gives me an excuse to wear my new Michkov jersey a couple of times.

Which of them was most inspired by Puddle of Mudd?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Imagine thinking EJ playing the left side is smart !!

They all from the 80's, so none lol

This is going to have to be a high-scoring game for the Flyers to walk away with a win. Our D pairs aren't going to be able to stop an Oilers team looking to avoid an 0-4 start on their home ice.

I don't understand why Torts doesn't run

York - Sanheim
Zamula - Risto
Andrae - Drysdale

Let the 3rd pair be your offensive pair with limited minutes if you're so f***ing scared.

Johnson playing the left side over Andrae is a f***ing joke only Torts apologists will defend.

Probably b/c on the road, the opposing HC would target Andrae - Drysdale.
I mean if I saw them on the ice I'd be double shifting McDavid.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

I’ll be at the game 2 rows behind the flyers Bench so if you see a drunk guy with a hartnell jersey that’s me

bring a sign

Probably trying to avoid Andrae getting line matched against McJesus on the road.

Not that I would want EJ out there either…

I would play McDavid 25mins per night every single night I could -- regardless of opponents.

That's not an attack on your statement, that's me saying how much better McDavid is than basically any other player on earth.

Well sure.

And at a stoppage if the Flyers win the draw they can gain possession and make a change, like all teams try to do and manage to do successfully many times per game.

In the ebb and flow of the game during continuous play it is much less of a problem.

 

[renberg]

When Luchanko goes on the ice, look for Knoblach to be sending McDavid over the boards to face him. The kid is going to be embarrassed.

If your top pair is just getting off the ice though that’s not really an option. Also just winning a face off doesn’t guarantee you can make a line change, especially in the DZ (when they are most likely to throw McDavid out there) when there’s a long change. And you have to win the face off which is literally a coin flip.

Not that I agree with coaching in fear but that’s likely their thought process.

Who would be more embarrassed, Luchanko at 2C being exploited at center, or a Andrae - Drysdale 3rd pair (pretending Johnson doesn't incorrectly take 3LD)?

Not like Luchanko would see much ice time with that pair, anyway.

Oh I know! Triple shift McDavid! That's how.

Yes I'm aware, but the post I responded to was hypothetically pretending that McDavid would be instantly double-shifted against an Andrae-Drysdale 3rd pair every single time they hit the ice and that McDavid would cave them in singlehandedly is not a fair shake of a take, either. It is completely devoid of nuance and context and the reality of in-game circumstances.

But really, McDavid would be matching against Centers, not defensemen. Luchanko come on down!

 

[usahockey22flyers]

That's about the best set of forward lines we can get with this roster, I think, as long as they have Poehling draw in for Laughton or Hathaway from time to time. Here's hoping they stick to this for a while.

I think Ryan Poehling is a great 4th line player. If they would have just traded Laughton or Hath, we don't have this problem of getting him or Cates in every night

 

[ybnvs]

15:45 and 11:43 TOI for Johnson first two games.

Andrae can handle those minutes. The org projects him and has touted him as a projected top 4 defender and listed him in the reasons for passing on Buium.

Walk the talk.

EJ as an integral part of a club is a heck of a condemnation for its condition.

I should print off Voraceks tweets about deadhead

That's not a problem to me. Soon enough there will be injuries, and Luchanko may be back in Junior by Hallowwen.

You must not be paying attention to EJ. I'd rather have the guy who can at least keep up somewhat.

 

[Boocowski]

I would think the odds of Edmonton going 0-4 are pretty slim but maybe Ersson can be unbeatable.

Not sure, Cates was very good against McDavid as a rookie.
And Luchanko one of the few NHL centers who can actually skate with McDavid.
So he has a fighting chance to be about as good defensively against him as most NHL centers.

The problem with Luchanko is more on the offensive side, just hasn't had time to polish those skills.
