IllaZilla Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Ooh, this should be a good thread with the fans from the Flyers board making comments as well! I may actually try and watch this game tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey-78 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Flyers' GDT Hold your horses. They have their own thing going on... Unless it's possible to merge these two threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Great timing for a back to back. I'd start Stalock tonight so he can benefit from an expected good start from the Wild. Then No excuses for anyone tomorrow since Detroit had no problem finding their legs against us for the full 60. These 2 games should show if the Wild have any level of seriousness about making the PO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because I think the Flyers look more dangerous than the Kings. I completely agree with your approach though, I'd like to see that too because its pretty lame for Stalock only to get starts one the 2nd half of back to backs and then blame him for what happens. Detroit is younger and has lot more energy than our slow old group of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what they're going to lose going from Philly to LA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
