Howie58 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Greetings: The Flyers are mild favorites (-135) with a 57% win probability. I don't make this stuff up. https://www.bleachernation.com/picks/nhl-picks/2024/04/08/flyers-vs-canadiens-prediction-live-odds-stats-history-and-picks-tuesday-april-9-2024/ There isn't much difference between the teams statistically other than defense, where we're middling and they're near the bottom: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/mtl-vs-phi/2024/04/09/2023021242 Miracles never cease to happen. We might be respectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I think I will start drinking now in preparation for the game……On the bright side I am sure I will be less critical……. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/philadelphia-flyers/line-combinations Looks like I am getting my wish. No Staal or Johnson in the line up. Egor and Attard as 3rd pair and Gurianov on the 4th line with Brink and Cates. I hope to see Fedotov in goal but it looks like Errson getting the start. Sorry Nic D. but this is not one of the teams you are needed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 A fringe playoff team or misses the playoffs all together right where many of us predicted. The more things change the more they stay the same. Flyers must win out i think and need help from all the other teams guess they should be getting the golf clubs ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers must win out i think and need help from all the other teams guess they should be getting the golf clubs ready... All I need to do is start pulling for a better draft pick and they will squeak in…… In other news, the final Delta 4 flew it’s final mission today. NROL -70. It is the end of an era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings: I remember this board's reaction to the signing...why four years? I think he will be paid a lot in coming years for manning the popcorn machine. This is another magnificent contribution of the Fletcher Legacy. . . . yeah, baby! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love the years on the Seeler deal, but that's far from the biggest issue the Flyers have, regardless of whether they head to the golf course in April or May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ZERO confidence in the Flyers being able to win tonight, which they must do if they have playoff aspirations. Man, how things can change in a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you supposed to convince a journeyman goon to sign with you if you don't give him double and salary and double the length of any contract they've previously had? It's in the CBA - they have to do it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 This is the way I see it...if the Flyers win out and make the playoffs, we'll still be having these exact same conversations in 5 years. If they lose out....maybe we won't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 They can't muster offense in the crease. We miss too many shots. And of course, an inept PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'll say it again. This team needs a finisher. It's great they get so many shots per game...they have to bury them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Suzuki with a heck of a cross ice pass to Slafkovsky. It was only a matter of time, with the way things are going and the fact that the Flyers cannot finish and bury any of their 16 shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
