GDT: Preseason #4 | Flyers at Bruins | Saturday, September 28, 2024 | 7:00 PM | NHLN, NBCSP+

[Adtar02]

Not sure of the purpose of MM on left wing.

I think they are trying to see how flexible he is. Giroux was a rw when he came up. So was farabee

 

[Young Sandwich]

Not sure if this was talked about on here yet or not, but I just noticed YouTubeTV has NBCSP and NBCSP+. Not sure when that happened, I must have missed it. It used to just be Hulu Live that had it, so options seem to be expanding. Keep in mind you do need to be "local" to Philly area to get those channels. I assume a VPN might work, but can't confirm.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Whole backend looks terrible

How’s your backend look?

MM has played 0 NHL games. Just let him stay where is at.

I can confirm

I like it.

Farabee/Foerster Couts TK
TIppett Frost Michkov
Foerster/Farabee Laughton Brink

vs

Michkov Couts TK
Tippett Frost Foerster
Farabee Laughton Brink

I think it would make the 2nd line a lot more balanced.

 

[iceman42]

Defense for tonight's game, are they trying to break Fedotov?

 

[VladDrag]

I like it.

Farabee/Foerster Couts TK
TIppett Frost Michkov
Foerster/Farabee Laughton Brink

vs

Michkov Couts TK
Tippett Frost Foerster
Farabee Laughton Brink

I think it would make the 2nd line a lot more balanced.

If Frost doesn't play with either TK or Michkov, I'm going to loose my mind.

 

[iceman42]

If Frost doesn't play with either TK or Michkov, I'm going to loose my mind.

He still needs more jam

 

[ybnvs]

If Frost doesn't play with either TK or Michkov, I'm going to loose my mind.

Seeing Michkov play LW tonight caused me to try thinking of how to unjam the RW a bit and optimize the wingers to be more in their natural position. I don't know if it makes the top 6 better or worse. I can't figure out where Foerster fits on the lines as LW or RW with Michkov playing RW or LW (respectively). He's who I have trouble projecting the most. I think Farabee-Laughton-Brink is a lock for the 3rd line, as Farabee/Brink are showing good early chemistry. We'll see more of them tonight.

Briere said it best, chemistry is unpredictable.
You try different lines and defensive pairs and see what works.

It starts in pre-season but often goes on all season, with some lines/pair set, and others in flux.
And when you have injuries, you're often forced to start over.

I'd do something like this, not like it matters to anyone who can actually make a change.

Farabee-Couts-TK
Brink-Frost-Michkov
Tippett-Laughton-Foerster

 

[deadhead]

I would not break up Tippett - Frost, "it it ain't broke, don't fix it."

GDT SONG

Actually it’s Bruins at Flyers

 

[BigToe]

I'd do something like this, not like it matters to anyone who can actually make a change.

Farabee-Couts-TK
Brink-Frost-Michkov
Tippett-Laughton-Foerster

How would you have both PP lineups?

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Hi everyone

Before the game begins, tomorrow

1 day only

Dunkin’ Donuts

Any purchase, gets you a free medium coffee

Even 1 donut or whatever.

Not sure if it’s through the Dunkin app only or it don’t matter.


National coffee day .

Not sure if any other stores are participating

Wawa, etc. locals

 

[Appleyard]

Drysdale is going to be doing a lot of the puckmoving from the back-end given that... well... maybe Risto is the second best outlet passer on that blue-line. (Bonk should pass him in next year or so but right now is probably marginally behind)

 

[Curufinwe]

If Frost doesn't play with either TK or Michkov, I'm going to loose my mind.

Better tighten it now

 

[VladDrag]

I would not break up Tippett - Frost, "it it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I know you say it works, but the numbers indicate that Frost was much better with TK.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Hoping for a good showing for Fedotov tonight

 

[VladDrag]

How would you have both PP lineups?

Pp1
Drysdale up top
Frost/Michkov on halfwall
Tipp on bumper
TK net front (using his passing skills to make plays from behind the net)


PP2
York
Brink/Couts on halfwall
Foerster in bumper
Farabee up front.

 

[Magua]

I know you say it works, but the numbers indicate that Frost was much better with TK.

It’s a funny scenario where the 8 year core player needs the bridge “fungible” guy more than the other way around.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ginning burned in the first 30 seconds.

Two horrible shifts by mostly NHL Flyers.

Zamula with the first zone exit of the game... on the third shift. Ugly start.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

So

Who’s 82?

Big tall Fedovtov

Never think I seen 82 used before

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

So

Who’s 82?

Big tall Fedovtov

Never think I seen 82 used before

Medvedev and Bunnaman wore 82 with the Flyers in the last decade.
