OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well a huge test coming off a big win yesterday. Can they do it again against a rested Jets team. I hope Stolie is up for it i think he gets tested today. I think Stolie goes again. Not sure if they want to give Neuvy his first start vs. this team. Possible Lineup Lines 28 Claude Giroux - 14 Sean Couturier -11 Travis Konecny25 James van Riemsdyk -19 Nolan Patrick - 17 Wayne Simmonds 12 Michael Raffl - 21 Scott Laughton - 93 Jakub Voracek 23 Oskar Lindblom - 15 Jori Lehterä - 22 Dale Weise Pairings 9 Ivan Provorov - 8 Robert Hägg 47 Andrew MacDonald - 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 6 Travis Sanheim - 3 Radko Gudas Goalies 30 Michal Neuvirth - 41 Anthony Stolarz???? Or back to back with Stolie?? Possible LineupLines 27 Nikolaj Ehlers - 55 Mark Schiefele - 26 Blake Wheeler 81 Kyle Connor - 18 Brian Little - 29 Patrik Laine 85 Mathieu Perreault - 17 Adam Lowry - 13 Brandon Tanev 48 Brendan Lemieux - 28 Jack Roslovic - 82 Mason Appleton Pairings 8 Jacob Trouba - 83 Sami Niku 7 Ben Chiarot - 33 Dustin Byfuglien 5 Dmitry Kulikov - 57 Tyler Myers Goalies 37 Connor Hellebuyck - 30 Laurent Brossoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 The good news is they have at least two games in hand on the teams in front of them. However it won't matter if they don't start stacking wins! Back to back wins would be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Would rather Coots stay out and keep the lines the same. See if that first line has same chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Flyers power play comes in at 13.9 percent (11-for-79, 30th) with four shorthanded goals yielded. The penalty kill enters at 73.3 percent (53-for-86, 30th) with two shorthanded goals scored (Dale Weise at Pittsburgh on Dec. 1, Giroux in Buffalo on Dec. 8). Flyers PK we have know to be bad for awhile now but it has gotten better actually since Hextall got shown the door. So the PP to me is the big shocker. Maybe Knoblach needs to be shown the door next even before Lappy. You look at this PP lineup and no way they should be this impotent. If they have any intentions of climbing in the standing now that they have seemingly have found a goalie (Elliott I hope you like being a backup) the PP has to be paramount in needing to be fixed. They are wasting chances to to help give them some cushion in these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Per Bill Meltzer: Looks like Varone is just a practice pylon. Why would an AHL vet ever sign with the Phantoms they will never ever get a cup of coffee.... PROJECTED LINEUPS (Subject to change)FLYERS25 James van Riemsdyk - 28 Claude Giroux - 11 Travis Konecny93 Jakub Voracek - 19 Nolan Patrick - 17 Wayne Simmonds12 Michael Raffl - 21 Scott Laughton - 22 Dale Weise23 Oskar Lindblom - 15 Jori Lehterä - 40 Jordan Weal9 Ivan Provorov - 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 8 Robert Hägg - 47 Andrew MacDonald6 Travis Sanheim - 3 Radko Gudas30 Michal Neuvirth[41 Anthony Stolarz]Scratches: 44 Phil Varone (healthy), 14 Sean Couturier (lower body), 26 Christian Folin (healthy), 37 Brian Elliott (IR, lower body), 10 Corban Knight (IR, collarbone), 5 Sam Morin (ACL surgery).JETS27 Nikolaj Ehlers - 55 Mark Schiefele - 26 Blake Wheeler81 Kyle Connor - 18 Brian Little - 29 Patrik Laine85 Mathieu Perreault - 17 Adam Lowry - 13 Brandon Tanev48 Brendan Lemieux - 28 Jack Roslovic - 82 Mason Appleton7 Ben Chiarot - 33 Dustin Byfuglien8 Jacob Trouba - 83 Sami Niku5 Dmitry Kulikov - 57 Tyler Myers37 Connor Hellebuyck[30 Laurent Brossoit]Scratches: 44 Josh Morrissey (questionable), 9 Andrew Copp (healthy), 70 Joe Morrow (healthy).

OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 I can't see giving Neuvy his second start of the season coming off injury to the Jets. Guess we'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Greetings: Here is Winnersandwhiners take: https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/12-9-2018/philadelphia-vs-winnipeg-prediction-7268/ Note that we are 1-4 on the road against teams with winning records. It appears Neuvy gets the start, which is high-risk from my vantage. Winnipeg plays well against the east; we split with them last year. Yesterday we saw a team with some scoring pizzazz and grit. What will we get this afternoon? Sorry I won't be able to watch ; I'll look forward to your posts. LGF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he is up for it or it could be ugly and over by the mid point of the 2nd period. I hope they can stay out the box since they can't score with the man advantage themselves. And taking them penalties yesterday is what broke up the rhythm in the 2nd versus the Sabbers! It would be nice to get Pateick going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Wow nice turnover Jake. Then right in the net. Fletcher please trade that dude. ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Jets with the first goal, but that aside, Winnipeg D looking less than impressive here... Flyers seemingly passing the puck at will even in the offensive zone. Problem with Philly right now...no one is finishing. Also, is it just me, or does Travis Konecny seem to have EXCELLENT anticipation skills? I mean, I am watching him specifically, and he seems to always be right where the puck is going rather than waiting around for someone to get it directly to him. Nice to see...mark of a very good NHL player. His name isn't bandied about as much as some other young players on this team with regards to being cornerstones of an upward trend for the team, but he should be, I think.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This just in... Michel Neuvirth strained himself attempting to stop the last two goals by the Jets. He will be evaluated IN-GAME while the Flyers play with an extra attacker in the waning minutes of the 1st...hell, can't hurt their GAA anymore than what it is....

Konecny has really impressed me evem moreso with what he has done just as much when he doesn't have the puck, in anticipating and finding open lanes to get the puck. I think THAT is a harder skill to learn for a very young NHLer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
