Howie58 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Greetings: We were the underdogs until about 2 this afternoon: Crosby's absence makes us a mild favorite: https://www.vegasinsider.com/nhl/odds/las-vegas/line-movement/flyers-@-penguins.cfm/date/03-2-21 Over the last 10 games, we have a better record but the teams seem equal statistically: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-pittsburgh-odds-march-2-2021-1366701 It looks like Hart versus Jarry. Interestingly, neither has a save percentage over .900. LGF! Edited March 2, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that seems to be a common sentiment/belief/religion in these parts. It will be interesting to see if that continues when Crosby goes?

OccamsRazor Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So this is what i found....and as always subject to change. Projected lineups (Will be updated)FLYERS (speculative based on Konecny return)25 James van Riemsdyk - 14 Sean Couturier - 86 Joel Farabee28 Claude Giroux - 13 Kevin Hayes - 11 Travis Konecny23 Oskar Lindblom - 21 Scott Laughton - 93 Jakub Voracek12 Michael Raffl - 19 Nolan Patrick - 62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel9 Ivan Provorov - 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 6 Travis Sanheim - 61 Justin Braun8 Robert Hägg - 5 Phil Myers79 Carter Hart[37 Brian Elliott]PP1: JVR, Couturier, Hayes, Farabee, Provorov.PP2: Giroux, Patrick, Voracek, Konecny, Gostisbehere.Scratches: 82 Connor Bunnaman (healthy), 56 Erik Gustafsson (healthy)Injured reserve: 48 Morgan Frost (shoulder surgery).COVID-19 protocol: NonePENGUINS59 Jake Guentzel - 87 Sidney Crosby - 42 Kasperi Kapanen19 Jared McCann - 71 Evgeni Malkin - 17 Bryan Rust 46 Zach Aston-Reese - 53 Teddy Blueger - 13 Brandon Tanev18 Sam Lafferty - 14 Mark Jankowski - 7 Colton Sceviour 73 Pierre-Olivier Joseph - 58 Kris Letang5 Mike Matheson - 6 John Marino28 Marcus Pettersson - 4 Cody Ceci 35 Tristan Jarry[1 Casey DeSmith]PP1: Rust, Crosby, Guentzel, Malkin, Letang Kris LetangPP2: McCann, Jankowski, Kapanen, Matheson, MarinoScratches:2 Chad Ruhwedel (healthy), 52 Mark Friedman (healthy), 14 Mark Jakowski (day-to-day, upper-body).Injured reserve: 9 Evan Rodrigues (lower body), 16 Jason Zucker (lower body), 50 Juuso Riikola (upper body).COVID-19 Protocol: None. Interesting to see Bunnaman out and Patrick on the 4th line. The last few games that was one of the best lines on the ice. Now we'll see if it changes with Nolan on it at center. And well i guess Mark Friedman can't harm the Flyers from the sky box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is the rot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Friedman will dress and score the game winner. It’s already been predetermined. This is a requirement for all former Flyers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I would hate them if even if they made me the GM. Then I would trade Crosby to Austrailia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we live up to it? Howie Well at least now it won't be Crosby AND Friedman scoring on us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played very well last game only like the Captain lacked finish. This is a guy you need vs the Penguins. Only thing he needs to do is take shots more he creates chances off scrambles for the puck. But i guess AV is sending a message. Just win this game no matter what. Not sure if i will be able to see the start might be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him be more physical That kid Farabee was in a Buf players face last game. We need more of that Edited March 2, 2021 by CoachX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 God I hate Jake!!!! Skates 100 MPH to fumble or turn over the puck or make a low percentage pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 classic Jake... enters with speed, looks like a superstar as he stick handles around the entire defense, then throw a pin point pass to a wide open defender what a douche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
