Howie58 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Greetings: The O and B continue the Western Trek against Calgary. We are fairly heavy underdogs: https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/10-15-2019/philadelphia-flyers-vs-calgary-flames-prediction-1784/ Note that Moose Elliott has an excellent track record (sub 2.0 GAA) against Calgary). We face a backup, David Rittich. The Flames are off to a slow start (2-4) with a sputtering offense. Let's hope they don't get in gear with us. The Flames took both games last year. Maybe new faces and coach change the outcome. Edited October 15, 2019 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Same ol tired lineup for the flyers. The coach should do something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well Elliott between the pipes certainly makes me nervous for the one...but hey we have to start our search for a backup at some point why not tonight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 So do the coaches get together and agree to play backups? I think i read they are playing theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vis Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Does Stewart play tonight? Wouldn't mind seeing what he can do in place of Bunnaman. No offense to Bunnaman, but I wouldn't replace Raffl or Pitlick. No matter what happens, imagine Elliott will stay in net the entire game with the B2B with EDM tomorrow. Could get real ugly if they don't get on the Flames early. Curious to see what kind of ice time Voracek gets.

But hey guess what they have actually signed Chris Stewart to a contact.....Oh joy!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Behind the Glass series makes me hate this less. Everything I've seen from Stewart has been positive even down to helping Joel Farabee get past the Rangers game. He seems like a good guy to have around your team. He seems to get that this is his last crack at the NHL and he'll do what he has to to stick, if that means serving pop corn most nights... he's down. I understand that the Flyers have a degree of control over what gets out from this show, so it will have some bias, the show depicts Stewart in a good light though, I'm willing to bet it's because he is not a douche. He can give the team 10 relatively safe and hard minutes when necessary and It's not my money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that will directly correlate to his effort and attitude in his early shifts tonight. Jake doesn't seem like a "pouter" to me, I know he's sensitive on social media but he seems less so dealing with the press and around the team. I don't think he'll stay in the dog house- I hope that line gets on the score sheet, they've done pretty well driving play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Really looking forward to all the posts about how the Flyers need a player like the Tkachuk kid that plays out there. I think Calgary is playing below their ability right now, that's a good line-up and their defense is mobile and skilled. It should be a good test. I like our team and how it plays so far this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can bump Jake off the shootout squad...he is 12 for 28 in shootouts and 3 for 3 in penalty shots. Even without looking i know those numbers are better than Jake's among a few others...TK has never score in a shootout. Hey WTF not right....i have reserved my spot on @radoran front lawn for the parade...better act fast his lawn s filling up!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Curious to see how Jake responds to his recent benching? My guess he will keep the turnovers under 5 and only lazily backcheck 3 times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
