No, but it'd give your loved ones an excuse to tell the neighbors

So I heard five people call their season predictions yesterday. Not a single one of them picked the Flyers to finish in the playoffs. One had them finishing 7th in the Metro. (most of them just picked the playoff teams and didn't bother with the refuse)

So can the wheels come off and they take a serious dive in the standings. Should I spend my time watching the Phantoms, the Otters and BU?

I think Ill give Schenn more than one game to get going. Especially since they barely got to play as a unit during the preseason.

So would I...I did specifically say in practice. I just think Chief needs to start looking for a quick back up plan if that chemistry doesnt happen quickly and we start digging a hole.

I don't know what "The Otters" and "BU" are, so I'll just say yes.

I'm guessing Connor MacDreamboat plays for the Erie Otters and Jack Eichel plays for BU.

Will we be good enough to drop to the third overall pick? I really need some direction here. Seems like the season's lost.

I understand that, but I don't think you can do that either. They basically missed the first two weeks of practice because of Girouxs injury, so I think, because of that lack of time together, they are going to need to do it as a work in progress now.

If it still looks bad at game 10 or 15, then you think about making changes. Right now, I think you have to leave them all together, all four lines, and let them work it out.

The worst thing that can happen is to miss the playoffs and pick in the 11-15 range.
Chance of that????

And this is why this schedule is so crazy...first two games a back to back with the third with only a day in between..what chance of practice does the team have with this horse poop...can't fix stff with games that often...
The schedulers are cluebags...several teams with 4 games next week...just dumb

Yep, no way to recover from that loss with only 81 games left in the season.

I think it's time you took up knitting in the quietest corner of the house, Moat.

So... did we already go into a tizzy over Tye McGinn cracking the SJ lineup, starting on the 3rd-line, and getting 1A +2 last night?

I was there.

I was also at the Cavern Club, and the Shelter in the Middle of the Roundabout.

Saw a Ringo Facebook post of those 2 goofing around. "He was my friend. Peace and love."

I don't think you can count Jones considering he came in relief of Quick.
