Greetings:  There is no current betting line.  This is a match-up between two sub-.500 clubs with similar statistics:

In the for what it's worth category, I went to Seat Geek and note lower bowl seats are going for $58 to $70 dollars, and there are lots available.  Maybe that explains the frequent pushing of tickets and seat packages during the broadcast.  The "product" may not be selling the way it did.

Wow he is 25 making his 1st start which tells me he is not really because he didn't play college those guys sometimes are a little older but he played in the OHL.........in 2012.

 

YIKES!!!!!!

 

So it could be a 55 save shutout.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out.  Both teams might be "protective" of their young goalies.

 

Maybe we should call this "Schlock Fest" or "Battle of the Under-Titans."  We are mild favorites and St. Louis doesn't do well of late at the WFC:

EVERY opposing coach, “playing the Flyers tonight boys. They are soft, have no offensive creativity, ****** special teams and garbage on D. Great time to put XXXX in net. Let’s play hard for him.”

Our offense is static.  There's nothing exciting. Meanwhile, Schenn  scores on a tap-in with nobody to mind the store.  

 

Sanheim lost his gap control and should have pivoted...oh well...only 2 more goals need for Brayden hat trick...can't figure out how this team just flat lines when it comes to any offense...lobotomized...

Looks like I may have been too optimistic with the Flyers SOG. They won’t get near 42 LOL. 

 

Only 17 SOG..... that’s it????   It’s like they are skating in slow motion.....

When you snooze, you lose.  This is how I assess our game.  I have a tough time watching.  Hart is fine. His teammates suck. The broadcast team is right. We concede  our zone and make chances too easy. Meanwhile, our idea of shooting....something from 50 feet out that isn't anywhere close to the net.  

 

These folks need an enema or other....

Yes...look at what I just said...it is like we are sleepwalking.  Fletcher needs to act quickly.

This has been our strategy all season. Pass to the point, shoot from as far from the goal as possible, skate back to the neutral zone because the shot either missed or got blocked.
