Greetings:

 

In a few years, this might be a battle between two heavyweights in the Metro.  Now, it's two teams in rebuild.  CBJ is favored (-1.5), and we are 4-15 in our last 19 at Nationwide:

The Briere Era starts.

Flyers opener is on for tonight, against a team that is equally as bad the Bleu Jacquettes. Should be a fairly even game, nice to see Brink make the team, and Risto NOT playing.

I need to have some value on this board.  Starting game threads has become a life ritual.  😀

 

@Howie58

Well boys the rubber hits the road tonite!

 

Gonna see if Brink's feet and hands have that NHL regular season setting in them.

Gonna see if Andrae is as tough to knock off his skates as we've read.

 

Ol' Forrester gonna let it rip?

Couturier's back gonna hold up ? He's gonna be fresh after a 2 year break?

Some questions are gonna to start being answered. 

I'm here for it.

 

Thanks @Howie58 for another year of game threads. 

Nice try grumpy ol' man @flyercanuck !!😃

 

Going to be an interesting and perhaps fun year to watch this team again.

Bulletin board material anyone?????

 

Ivan Provorov says it has been “really refreshing” to be on a team “that can make plays and is allowed to make plays.” He also mentioned his play was regressing in Philly because of “rimming, throwing the puck away.” Quote from The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz

This.

 

Exactly being 3D on 2nd pair big jump from 1D on a bad team.

 

Right. He's not top PP. He's deployed like the $4.75M second line guy he is for a bad team rebuilding, not the $6.75M top line defenceman on a putative playoff team.

 

Because... 🥁

Just a small example of WTF???

 

I guess Torts tells him to try and skate thru 3 guys with the puck???

 

Highly doubt it.

Should be. I just hope Briere doesn't get sucked in to the "let's go for the playoffs" routine.

 

I'm all in on a real rebuild.

I'm saying he was ruined in Philadelphia before Torts got here.

 

I'm saying Fletch giving him the extension instead of dealing him was the problem - many said at the time...

 

But he HAD TO BE the 1D because they HAD TO BE a definitely a playoff team and were THISCLOSE to a Cup.

I agree.

 

I was so excited when they drafted him.

 

The year he scored 17 goals i just knew they had a Super star.

 

And they ruined him...castrated him.

 

Now i'm going to have a drink now i'm pissed....thanx Rad.
