brelic Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Flyers home opener tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. If that is not motivation enough, surely the chance to redeem themselves after an embarrassing loss the other night in Florida should give them what they need. Notice that Umberger might be out in favour of Gagner. Could it also be Gudas' debut? Manning has been putrid! Here's Meltzer's write up:http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Bill-Meltzer/Flyers-Gameday-101215-vs-FLA/45/71618 Projected lineups (Subject to change, will be updated) FLYERS 12 Michael Raffl - 28 Claude Giroux - 93 Jakub Voracek10 Brayden Schenn - 14 Sean Couturier - 89 Sam Gagner24 Matt Read - 21 Scott Laughton - 17 Wayne Simmonds76 Chris VandeVelde - 78 Pierre-Edouard Bellemare - 25 Ryan White 55 Nick Schultz - 32 Mark Streit15 Michael Del Zotto - 3 Radko Gudas82 Evgeny Medvedev - 22 Luke Schenn 30 Michal Neuvirth[45 Jason LaBarbera] Scratches: R.J. Umberger (questionable, maintenance day on Sunday), Vincent Lecavalier (healthy), one of Radko Gudas or Brandon Manning (healthy), Steve Mason (personal family matter). PANTHERS 11 Jonathan Huberdeau - 16 Aleksander Barkov - 68 Jaromir Jagr73 Brandon Pirri - 27 Nick Bjugstad - 18 Reilly Smith36 Jussi Jokinen - 63 Dave Bolland - 21 Vincent Trocheck22 Shawn Thornton - 17 Derek MacKenzie - 42 Quinton Howden 51 Brian Campbell - 5 Aaron Ekblad33 Willie Mitchell - 44 Erik Gudbranson7 Dmitry Kulikov - 6 Alex Petrovic 1 Roberto Luongo [35 Al Montoya] Scratches: Connor Brickley (healthy), Steven Kampfer (healthy), Dylan Olsen (healthy), Marc Savard (IR, post-concussion syndrome). EDIT 1: Changed the starting goalie for the Flyers. EDIT 2: Kind of a strange tweet.. not sure if there's anything to it. Adam Kimelman@NHLAdamKLooks like Gagner and Lecavalier are in up front for Flyers, with White and Umberger out. And Gudas in for Medvedev on defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 two games in and a Team only meeting ... Whats up with that ?? This snake has no head or leadership.. .. A beat down 7-1 should require a team meeting no matter how early into the season it is. Hopefully now after being in two other team's home opener they now know how to play in their own........

radoran Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I don't think it is unreasonable to expect more from the $10 Million Dollar Man than one garbage point (an assist) in the first two games of a season that everyone knew they had to come out of the gate strong. Of course it came on the power play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Called leadership and accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I think it maybe Mason's dad. I know he wasn't in good health awhile back i have no proof just a hunch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 If he beats #Flyers tonight, #Panthers' Roberto Luongo would tie Grant Fuhr for 9th all-time (403 wins) in #NHL history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Nice win. Solid play by Radko. Gagner with the helper on the GWer.“I think we said it before the game, we said it after morning skate, and we have all the confidence in the world in Neuvy. He’s done a good job for us all the way since day one, through camp, through preseason, and he went out tonight and he played a heck of game," said Hakstol.

Podein25 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Didn't see the whole game, but I liked what I saw from Gagner. And Medvedev. Neuvirth too I guess. Looked calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRH Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Neuvirth, I imagine still wants to be a starting goalie in the NHL, coming out with a shutout should get him at least another start before slotting mason back into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I liked this games push back. I could tell Coach Hakker was happy, Neuvy played solid, liked his "The Rifleman" glove saves, Liked how the coach put G on the PK to get involved in the game, he might be OCD because he looked vested in the game after that. Loved how Gudas slammed into the goalie net trying to jam one home, Meddy did the same thing on Schenny's goal(what is that 2 team leading goals/game winner/ and a Power Play goal in just 3 games?!) And last but not least...held on to the lead in the third period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Really like what Gudas brought last night. Same with Gagner. You know, it's early, but when Umberger comes back to the lineup, I'd prefer it be over VandeVelde at this point. Neuvirth was excellent. Nice to have a real goaltending tandem. Manning was much better. He's still prone to making really soft passes that get cut off, but he did look a lot more poised. Remember when we were worried about secondary scoring? Well, how about some primary scoring??? That top line is getting its chances but they always seem to want to make the pretty play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
