GDT: Game #82. Pens in Philly. 3:30 pm Sat.

[66-30-33]

Those alleged "bumps and bruises" are the excuse they used to be able to emergency recall Mouillierat.

Why not Simon?

Just a guess:

Kunitz-Cullen-Hornqvist
Hagelin-Bonino-Kessel
Kuhnhackl-Sundqvist-Fehr
Sestito-Mouillierat-Sheary

Dumoulin-Daley
Pouliot-Lovejoy
Cole-Schultz

If we beat them today, what would need to happen for the Flyers to still make it?

One of Bruins/Wings to lose tonight, then just 1 point tomorrow vs Isles IIRC.

edit- Oh they are 1 point back...then just a win.

There will be a more clear answer by 3:30. Depending on the outcome of the Bruins and Wings game.

Danke

Why not Simon?

I think Mouillierat has played a good bit more at center than Simon, though they could always have Fehr play center instead. He also plays more of a sandpaper game than Simon -- better suited for a fourth-line role for one meaningless game against the Flyers.

Kunitz-Cullen-Hornqvist
Hagelin-Bonino-Kessel
Kuhnhackl-Sundqvist-Fehr
Sestito-Mouillierat-Sheary

Dumoulin-Daley
Pouliot-Lovejoy
Cole-Schultz

I would switch Cullen and Sundqvist.

so we're rooting for Boston and Detroit?

Kinda makes you feel dirty, doesn't it?

Flyers have less ROW's so if they tie they probably lose, especially if they have a losing record to Bruins/Wings.

Wings/Bruins win their games they hit 95 points while Flyers are at 92. Flyers will have to win BOTH games to clinch the last wildcard spot (this is assuming they have losing record on both Wings/Bruins). Wings win and Bruins lose in regulation (or vice versa) Flyers then just need either 2 OT losses or 1 win and 1 regulation loss to get in.

Ah right, makes sense now. Thanks.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Look at them making a smart decision. Now keep Kunitz, Lovejoy and Simmonds away from Murray.

If you want the Flyers to miss the playoffs, yup.

But I think I'd rather have them get that last spot. From what I've seen, they have a better chance to beat the Caps than the Bruins or Wings. Or at least wear them down in a long series. I won't be upset if Philly makes it in.

 

[Toxic Holocaust]

Try to make it known how far you came to see him to a Pens rep, or one of the radio/TV guys there and maybe you will get a nice one on one and selfie with him.

Can't hurt to try.

Just sent them a tweet. Obviously I'm not expecting them to do anything for me, but as you said, worth a shot. Sorry to hijack the thread guys. Still excited to see the Pens live!!

Rangers loss in regulation means we play Islanders no matter what.

Miracle Max: Wait. Wait. I root for Boston, Philly suffers?
Inigo Montoya: Humiliations galore!
Miracle Max: That is a noble cause. Give me that Chara jersey, I'm on the job.

That's all fine. I care more about Flyers losing than I do about who we play in the playoffs.

 

[Koempel]

Boston is failing hard. It makes me rather happy.

 

[shureshot66]

Rangers have the tiebreaker, so the Islanders still need at least one point from this weekend to pass them.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Boston is failing hard. It makes me rather happy.

wow that escalated quickly. Wasn't it just 1-1?

Like I said, **** Boston. Philly can do more damage to the Caps anyway

Bonus: Not feeling bad if a little bit of your MLT falls on the jersey

4-1 now. Wow. Two historic regular season chokejobs in a row.

Can't believe Rask wasn't feeling well enough to play. Probably will cost them their season.

 

[Nakawick]

1-0 Bruins after 1, 4-1 Sens 10 mins left in the 2nd.

I hope that's as good of a reference as I think it is

Sonny, a Flyers collapse is the greatest thing in the world...
