Howie58 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Greetings: There is no line on this game as of this posting (other 2/18 games have odds): https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-new-york-odds-february-18-2018-869264 That said, we are a stronger team in rankings and results. But Flyers/Rangers at MSG on national TV makes this anybody's game, which may explain the lack of odds. The O and B are sub .500 against the Rangers, largely due to our performance on their ice: http://flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?New_York_Rangers My gut: Goalies will decide this game. If Neuvy plays like he did last night, we stand a good shot. If Lundquist plays at his best, we have a long afternoon. With the trade deadline approaching, you reckon some players are on tryout for another team. LGF!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they get Neuvy from the Devils game or Neuvy from the Jackets game. This (besides injuries) is what drives the fan base and front office batty about this guy. And it has plagued him his whole career. But he is making only like 250K less than Elliott so he is getting compensated to start when needed........well the Flyers need it...they are in a dog fight with several teams and good goaltending can help them hold their position and maybe get to the point were they pass the Pens....winning is the only thing that will do that. Yest this game scares me since the Rags are 3-7-0 in the last 10. Lost 3 straight getting blast today by a Sens team in flux. The King getting the hook today (815%). So back to backs for them and the Flyers will be rested. All the signs of a let down to me. Flyers DON'T DO IT!!!! PEDAL TO THE METAL!!!!!!!

Howie58 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well, we won in Columbus after 12 years. I'd like to see us start the scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin20 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Woah...Lehtera scores from MacDonald and Filppula right after the Eagles with the super Bowl and the Flyers win in Columbus?? An MSG win may be within reach.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @billmeltzer Lyon will be in goal for Flyers to start 2nd pd. Neuvirth may have hurt himself on the Zuccarello goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 This is a strange one to watch. Now Lyon gets a baptism by fire. Neuvy is an eggshell. The announcers were right; Lyon was great on the fourth goal, our D let him way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well, it is a lower body injury for Mr. Neuvirth. Shoot, I thought we might have lucked out and a trade was made mid-game (joking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he gave Nuevy a substantial raise when he was statistically the WORST goalie in the league... brought in Elliott who has had injuries in the past and has been played too often by the Coaching staff. It was bound to happen and now he needs to make a move. I have no confidence that Nuevy would not break an ankle sneezing while sipping a latte at Starbucks.

FD19372 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I like Raanta, and I have heard rumors about our scouts being around Coyotes games. He plays on a bad team, which doesn't give you a strong enough read on him. I like him, and would be worth trading for if the price is reasonable.

Howie58 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I hope Lyon hangs tough. Win aside, I'd like the kid to snag one. I suspect we will be needing more of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 First we slay the Columbus demon. Now we win at MSG. Things look good. As for Lyon, one game does not a turnaround make...but it says he might be a good prospect. I hope we don't trade a future piece to get a second tier fill-in.

Hey maybe that's just what he needed, to get the first goal under his belt , now if he could quietly score 10 goals, like Laughton (to my surprise) he might end up contributing after all! Hey a guy can dream can't he?lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
