Greetings:

 

We are installed as mild favorites for the matchup:

It looks like Hart versus Ullmark between the pipes.  We are 1-1 this year, with one shutout on side and blowout 6-1 against us.  

 

Historically, we have done very well against the Sabres, in both the regular season and playoffs, though performance in Buffalo is about .500.

Let's hope we shut down their top guns.  We won't win many games giving up hat tricks.

Ullmark is injured and will miss the next two games minimum. Eichel is also day to day with a lower body injury.
 

If we weren’t in a pandemic, I would have been at both games this weekend.

 

Damn you Covid!

Yes, it has been disruptive to say the least.  Thankfully, you are here to tell the tale.  Take heart, J & J got emergency approval today--that should ramp up vaccinations.   

Well, maybe Eichel can't be the next to bag three against us.

Meanwhile, the bad news is that center Jack Eicheland goaltender Linus Ullmark aren’t expected to be available for either game, relays Jourdan LaBarber on the Sabres’ team website.  Eichel was a late scratch on Thursday after experiencing some discomfort during the pregame warmup and is listed as day-to-day.  As for Ullmark, he left after the first period yesterday with Krueger indicating that they’re hopeful he will only be day-to-day after their weekend games.  One of Dustin Tokarski or Jonas Johansson will need to be recalled from the taxi squad.

Hey Howie,

 

I thought I read somewhere that Moose was going today and Hart tomorrow? I guess we'll know in a few hours.  No matter who it is, we better win these two!!!

Looks like I will miss the start I was late to the gym. Trying to get swole like @Podein25

 

Sami let me know if this doesn't work.

Very choppy game so far....too many starts and stops.

Philly is taking too many perimeter shots and there are way too many 'one and dones' when they do manage to get in closer.
That's not gonna get it done.

Especially when you got a team playing Carter Freakin Hutton in net, and the Sabres are routinely outshot by opponents.
Flyers need to take advantage of those big things in their favor.

EDIT: As I finish my post, the Flyers get a quality in-close shot, as they should be getting, and Coots puts his team up 1-0

I thought they looked good. The offensive pressure is actually helping the defense. Elliott is incredibly valuable in his role. He might be the best back up in the league and accels at this. Their passing, albeit always too much, is looking good

 

And.....shoot first, shoot last, shoot some more, then interview the dead....wait, got my professions mixed up.....

 

just shoot the puck baby!
