Howie58 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Greetings: The bookies are having a tough time with this one: https://pickdawgz.com/nhl-picks/2021-01-21/philadelphia-flyers-at-boston-bruins-1-21-21-nhl-picks-and-prediction The Bruins are favored. But they have not scored an even-strength goal in three games. We've done well against them of late, even at TD. That said, they have excellent defense and goal. This will be our young guns and Hart versus the veteran Bruins and Halak. LGF! Edited January 21, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzeke Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Moved from the other thread - For tonight's Game 5, hope these are the forward lines: Giroux-Hayes-Farabee Lindblom-Patrick-Konecny JVR-Laughton-Voracek Raffl-Bunnaman-NAK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 No Couturier, Myers or Frost. Man, what tough break for Frost. Wonder when Ghost will be allowed back? Funny how we need him now. Assuming he is asymptomatic.... Per https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/12/22/nhl-announces-covid-19-protocols-rule-change-for-2020-21-season/ For asymptomatic players that have an initial positive test the following procedure will be followed. Following the initial positive, the player will be isolated and contact tracing will begin. A confirmatory test will be conducted 24 hours later. If that test is negative, a second test will be conducted 24 hours after that. If that second test is negative, a third confirmatory test will be conducted 24 hours after that. If any of those tests come back positive the player will remain isolated and contact tracing will continue. If all three confirmatory tests come back negative the player will be allowed to exit isolation, resume training, while the contacts will also be released from isolation. I guess he's still testing positive? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeat from the other thread - Bad vibes - Meltzer this morning (1/21/21) - - - the Flyers lost defenseman Philippe Myers (left knee) and rookie center Morgan Frost in Tuesday's game. No timetables were released for Myers and Frost on Wednesday; an off-day for the Flyers. It is feared that Myers' injury will be of the long-term variety. Additionally, Frost was already placed on injured reserve. We should get an official statement later today before tonight's game vs Boston. We already know that Bunnaman and Friedman (RH) will be in the game tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with Myers it could be a knee injury so guess it is next man up it's a collision sport and injuries happen. They still have the depth to overcome this...now is a good time for Hart to step up and give his team the best chance to win. I know in a ideal world this schedule sucks bad for everyone involved in playing the games. But form a selfish stand point i do like having a game in what it seems every other day. None of the 4 or 5 days off between games...as i said it isn't good for the teams but for the fans it gives us a chance to stage engaged all the time. I can't wait till we all get back to some kind of normal life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a guy who calls it like i see it i am not happy about this lineup on the backend. And for the record since you were not around back in the playoff run (or i don't remember you being here) i did not want Braun back at all. 6 minutes ago, Zzeke said: Those are 'hard' words.

We will let things develop. And, not entirely accurate. In game 4, knowing there will be some who already are taking shots at Gus, I was observing the plays where he was very good in the D-zone, outlet passing, sharp passing, kicking-off offensive opportunities, and Power Play work - - - as well as his sloppy give-aways which will be hopefully corrected. We try to be fully observant and fair, and not pre-prejudiced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzeke Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 @OccamsRazor @Podein25 And, my good friend, optimism. This is a very, very good team and with organizational depth and excellent coaching. It will be fun watching the season evolve. I'm planning to drive-in from Central Pennsylvania on Saturday July 17, after whipping the Colorado Avalanche for the SC, for the Broad Street parade. Hopefully you are also able to come. Hopefully Podein25 can fly in from Manitoba. I will pick him up at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
