Howie58 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 These are two sub-.500 teams, and per Oddsshark, there is no favorite. http://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-edmonton-odds-december-6-2017-866879 Statistically, this is a virtual dead heat. The Flyers aren't good on the road but the Oilers aren't playing .500 at home. I guess we can ask which Flyers team shows up: The semi-disciplined, opportunistic team we saw against the Flames, or the ineffective, boring squad we saw during much of the streak? Historically, we are about even with this team but play poorly in Edmonton: http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?Edmonton_Oilers Best, Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Can't call it. Both teams have struggled might be a down right snooze fest. It would be nice to see the Flyers win back to back games i think the most they have won in a row this year have been two. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a mistake.. Here's why - Quote 3) I'm sure Nolan Patrick will be a very good player down the road but, man, the Devils look really good for drafting Nico Hischier with the top pick. He is so smart and dynamic with the puck and every night he makes a few plays that 'wow' you. Playing with Taylor Hall helps his cause, no doubt, but he's on pace for 60+ points and is centering the top line of a team that sits 1st place in the league's toughest division. He is already absolutely fantastic and he's only going to get better with time. Patrick with Weal and Konecny *sounds* like a good idea, and I admit I thought early on that the speed on the wings could complement Patrick in the middle. But given how they have actually looked on the ice, I think Patrick needs at least one responsible veteran / mentor on his line, at the very least to give him a few 'wins.' Skating 8 mins a night on the 4th line while not generating anything offensively is not a recipe for success. Did they stick Provorov with Manning last year? No. I would try G/Patrick/Konecny Raffl/Filppula/Voracek Weal/Couturier/Simmonds Leier/Laughton/Weise or G/Couturier/Konency Raffl/Patrick/Voracek Weal/Filppula/Simmonds Leier/Laughton/Weise You could even move Fippula to the wing and have Weal in the middle... I felt that Weal's best game in a long time was when he played center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I like option #2 more; however, I do not like Simmonds on the 3rd line. Maybe G/C/Sim R/P/V W/F/K L/La/W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 meh, frankly I am at the point that I really could not give a **** about it... too late so I am sure I will read about the teams less than stellar play, mind numbing in-game coaching decisions and how the young kids were benched for veteran-stiffs in the 3rd period... wash.... rinse.... repeat...

OccamsRazor Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Alright i'm tapping out. I'm at work i finally get a chance to sit down and watch the game and it keeps pausing....then starts only to pause again. I can not watch a game like this so can't figure out why it's doing that so i'm done May it's divine intervention! I heeding the call good luck i'll try again later.
