Must win.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I'm really excited to see Michkov play after seeing the pre-season highlights. The Flyers badly needed a player like this after all these mediocre years.

 

[Flik]

Revenge for last year will be ours!!!!

AKA Alex Edler Night at the Rog

You're right! That's a better title! Also probably a better 3rd pair LD than Forbort...right now.

I think we can assume Lankinen will be in goal.

 

[EpochLink]

Please play better, 60 minute hockey.
I’m sure Tocchet voiced his I’m opinions loud and clear after last night.

Guessing Raty out, Blueger slides up, Aman slides over to C, and Bains in on the 4th.

I hope you're wrong. Blueger can slide up but I would much rather see Aman slide out than Raty.

I figure Aman got some minutes at the end of the game and can PK while Raty was pretty much benched.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Hope they switch up the lines:

Sherwood-Miller-Boeser

DeBrusk-Pettersson-Heinen

Hoglander-Blueger-Garland

Di Giuseppe -Raty/Aman-Sprong


1st line - can literally put anyone with Miller & Boeser they’re that good.

2nd line - Pettersson plays better with slightly slower wingers: Boeser, Pearson, Toffoli, Eriksson. Pettersson’s greatest assets are his mind/awareness and ability to stick handle and make plays in a phone booth. Heinen would be a good fit.

3rd line - Blueger on the 3rd line instead of Raty made it much better.

4th line - Sprong should be on the 4th line and 2nd unit PP, his commitment to D is really questionable. Don’t trust both Aman & Raty on the 4th line together with Sprong, so maybe bring in a veteran presence like DGS until Suter or Joshua return.

I'm torn on it. I could see sticking with Silovs as a "confidence" move, but I think the right choice would be switching to Lankinen.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I figure Aman got some minutes at the end of the game and can PK while Raty was pretty much benched.

That was what I saw, too. Raty hustled, but wasn’t quick enough on some plays.

Another possibility is Suter is ready to go by Friday.

 

[Bgav]

Must win

Pretty pumped to watch Michkov play

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

So uh... I want them to watch period 1 of last game and just do that for sixty minutes instead. Good? Good! Let's go!

 

[TruGr1t]

Lankinen should be the starter and Silovs back-up until Demko is back. Fight me.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Lankinen should be the starter and Silovs back-up until Demko is back. Fight me.

Lankinen has a shot to totally take over until Demko. We shall see how he goes.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Lankinen should be the starter and Silovs back-up until Demko is back. Fight me.

Can't fight what I agree with. Silovs just isn't NHL ready imo

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Going to the game.

Looking forward to seeing Michkov.

 

[LordBacon]

I hope Toc bag skated them so bad they’re drowning in their own vomit.

As a team with playoff aspirations last night was unacceptable.

Heres hoping they come out and play a full 60 minutes game

Same here.

Can’t take the foot off the gas pedal after the first period.
