GDT: #59: FLYERS at Red Wings, Sunday, Feb. 17, 2019, 6:00 pm ET

[Alex K]

Can Joel Embiid skate?

NBA players are soft

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Need a big body to lay Mantha out....

Recall Big Sam early...

What's Kelce doing these days?

 

[Rodu58]

 

[flyersjim73]

will be at this one, someone better ****ing run over mantha

F that POS. Hopefully the Flyers get up big so they can afford to take a run at that jack@$$.

 

[baudib1]

My guess is no one does shit to Mantha regardless of score.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I like Patrick where he is. I think being the best player on his line has really helped his confidence. He wants the puck on his stick at all times now...no need to put him with G or Jake and have him lose that.

Only thing that needs to change is the trash D.

Provorov-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas
Hagg-Myers

Morin in for Hagg when ready.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Better not be Mike f***ing McKenna in net

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

7 points out with 24 games remaining isn’t looking good

 

[Maurice of Orange]

2 big points on the line today.

It would be nice if the two biggest Flyers were playing and plowed Martha into the boards.

 

[BritainStix]

7 points out with 24 games remaining isn’t looking good

We still have two games against the penguins. Win both and win tonight and we are 1 point behind them.

We really got f***ed over by that early whistle.

 

[tictactoe]

I do not understand why we cannot play Myers against team like Detroit.. Seems like a good opportunity against such team..

Ghost and Provy are horrible together unfortunately.
9-6
53-3
8 - Myers
47 watch until we can unload you

 

[mja]

Ghost and Provy are horrible together unfortunately.

They were terrific together all last year.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

If Myers doesn't get in today he's not going to barring injury or trade.

With the abomination that is 1/3 of our D, it makes no f***ing sense at all.

Go FLYERS!

 

[Breeze 44]

until they were exposed in the play-offs, when they've been together this year they've been on the minus end more often then not.
I also wouldn't say they were great together all last year. I wish they were better together but they're not and when they are together then they aren't a top pairing D.

 

[rajaampat]

Who was that ####er that kicked at a Flyer player right before he jumped on the bench..... in addition to the crosscheck to G's neck on the ice? The coach holds responsibility for that conduct it seems the conduct was team wide.. can we send them some lab rats with Ebola?

They were absolutely dominant together last year. The way they ran the point in the offensive was better than any pair I have ever seen. Both guys had career years offensively...would love to see that magic again. The playoffs are a bad thing to judge because Hakstol managed the team so poorly.

Gudas and Sanheim has also been a terrific pair.

We saw Weal and Weise look good with Couts.

The problem with combinations that work in the short-run is opposing teams have endless video, so any vulnerabilities eventually get exposed. Teams may have seen something in last year's playoffs and changed how they played with Provorov - Ghost on the ice.

I think Ghost - Gudas, balances each player's weakness.
Provorov needs a veteran RHD who can play big minutes, Sanheim needs to move back to LHD.
And Morin and Myers will be pushing for spots.

I believe that was Mantha

I thought he’d get in! The D was putrid in the third.

 

[Chinatown88]

Please tell me Farmer is sitting.

 

[Prongo]

It’s gonna be for ghost isn’t it?

 

[GKJ]

It’s gonna be for ghost isn’t it?

50/50 I'd say
