Howie58 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Greetings: We are mild underdogs; the bookies may recognize the Bruins overall rather than our current hot streak: https://sportsjaw.com/nhl/picks/1686988/boston-bruins-vs-philadelphia-flyers-prediction-2020-03-10/ This is a big test against one of the league's best.

OccamsRazor Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Shouldn't be any problem getting up for this one. Rested up should be good to go. Going for the big one zero in a row. Can they? Will they? Edited March 10, 2020 by OccamsRazor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well they picked the right team to have a letdown game against. Hopefully they get back to business against da Broonz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewin Flames Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Tuukka put up a stinker vs the Bolts, usually bounces right back, but both Krug and Carlo will out out...depleted defense vs a red hot flyers team, not to mention Hart is on FIRE ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This should be interesting, just watched highlights from the January game. Halak played that night and wasn't very good. We're missing Myers and pretty funny to say but I think the team will miss the rookie defensman. He was really playing well when he blocked that shot from Eichel. I don't buy into the Broons being better. I do think they are very good, and one of the teams to beat in the East. I also think our guys are right there with them. Should be fun, I don't like Boston sports- at all, but I have liked the way this core of Bruins has played, they contest everywhere with speed and physicality. Should be a fun game to watch. I think Marchand will have a little extra motivation after the shoot out fiasco, that can go one of two ways, either he plays lights out or he tries too hard and does stupid stuff...I'm hoping for version 2 so long as he doesn't end one of our guy's seasons.

OccamsRazor Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Caps lost in shootout to the team the Flyers just beat. Here is the Flyers chance to take 1st. Go win this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hoping that is just a little more motivation for them tonight. Win and they have first. Should be a great game. Win tonight and I don't care what happens on Thursday (I expect it to be pretty ugly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games played this year have been close. The game in January was lost on a fluke goal by Falloon. The game in February was Carter Hart's last bad road game. The Flyers out shot the Lightning Vasielski made 6 10 bell saves on great chances. I don't see a team in the NHL that the Flyers can't beat. The Lightning are good, but they aren't ZOMG good. They aren't "playing at a different level than the Flyers". YMMV Edited March 10, 2020 by mojo1917 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to tonight's game and can't wait for the chirping match between Giroux/Konecny and the rat. That alone will be worth the price of admission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vis Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Been a while since last posting. Work and life have been very busy for a while. Watching games (or parts of) when I can. All in all, really have enjoyed this season and am looking forward to tonight's game and the TB game. I won't be able to watch live tonight (work), but expect this to have a PO-like atmosphere especially with a shot at first place on the line. Plus, I think the Flyers actually match-up pretty well against Boston. Really like the confidence and resilience this team has at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think they match up well...though I wish Ghost wasn't being forced in by an injury to a very good Myers. Nothing against Ghost. Go Flyers!

Myers, and the defense as configured with Myers in (and with Ghost out of) the lineup, seems to have been playing very well. Nothing against Ghost, but I don't think he's been missed much -- defensively, at least. It's also a tough spot for Ghost to be thrown into a game. AV will have his work cut out for him to limit Ghost's exposure to the Bergeron line and to limit his d-zone starts.
