Game 9: Blue Jackets at Flyers; 10/26/19 at 7:00

The Flyers are favored against a Columbus team that has been hot and cold (a little like us):

Historically, we don't play well against this team, particularly in Columbus:

We are on a five-game losing streak against CBJ.  Cam Atkinson is a Flyer Killer.  It will be Korpisalo versus Hart in goal.  Hopefully the AV era means better performances against a Metro rival.

Well, I hope Moose holds up. I guess we see Hart tomorrow.  It would be nice to see Laughton and Jake wake up on scoring.

 

This lineup make me wonder about Patrick's future. Who does he replace? Yes, G can return to wong. But what about the other centers? I wonder if they even see a future for Patrick? Or do they see him being converted to wing?

The Ghost with the most.....

 

 

JVR has been woke!!!!!!

 

 

And then Kevin scores a shorty!!!

Nice to see the team bail Elliott out after he has bailed them out. Nice comeback win!!!!!

In regards to where Patrick goes when he's able to play is pretty straight forward.

 

28 Claude Giroux - 14 Sean Couturier - 93 Jakub Voracek
25 James van Riemsdyk- 13 Kevin Hayes -  49 Joel Farabee

23 Oskar Lindblom - 19 Nolan Patrick -  11 Travis Konecny (60+ Goal line}
12 Michael Raffl - 24 Mikhail Vorobyev - 21 Scott Laughton

44 Chris Stewart

I agree with post-game assessment:  This team would have folded last year. AV and youngins, plus Hayes make a difference. 

 

It was very close to being 9-4....

 

 

...if Flyers were only good on shootouts/breakaways...

Well, this was barely a win vs a certainly depleted and not very good anyway Columbus club. 

Giroux still sucks,  Voracek, in spite of his obvious lacking mental abilities lucked into some good fortune.

How long before Couturier reverts to pre 2017 play? 

Plus Patrick is washed up at 21 hell he'll be lucky to skate for the Phantoms .

Blow. It. Up.

Fairly certain that's what will happen. But I don't like it. It tears up a bunch of lines doing really well to insert a guy that does very little more than nothing when he plays. 

 

On the other hand, Laughton just went down for 4 weeks. Maybe just insert him.

I checked, and the longest Flyer thread in history is one about how Sean Couturier was a bum and that everyone who said: he's just a kid, and probably our best player, and he put up 100 pts in Jr while playing on one leg, while blind, etc were laughed at.

Never happened, and I was never a part of it.
