Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/11/15 @ DAL

Hi

If the Flyers play a strong.competitive game or even win tonight, I will be impressed.

Bill, I think puck drop is 8:30 EST / 7:30CST. At least that's what my ticket says.

Good win last night. Flyers are playing pretty sound hockey the last 3 weeks or so outside of the Columbus game.

Tough task tonight, second game of a back to back vs. a rested high flying Stars team.

Neuvirth is playing really well. He could be a valuable trade chip.

Hoping the Flyers win for sure, but it will be fun to watch Gostisbehere and Klingberg in the same game. Both guys, along with Giroux, Benn, and Seguin, are worth the price of admission alone.

Or a good backup/split starter when the Flyers look to become a contender in 2-4 years.

Bill any insight that you can talk about as to why Reese left

will he want to resign after his deal is done for the same amount or will he look to be a starter? he isn't that old.

Well the way it looks now is like he's taking over the starters role from Mason. Which considering the contract situations with both players isn't a good thing.

I wonder what time they got into Dallas? If they have a strong 1st period I think they'll hang around to have a shot. Seems like one of those games where the first 5-10 minutes will dictate the outcome.

Same reason why Hartnell was traded. To cater to that mongoloid Berube.

I continue to ride Neuvirth as he has been the better goalie. not a hrd choice in my book

He's definitely been the better goalie and has earned playing time. I believe Nuevirth is leading the NHL in save %.

I see some Bob in Neuvy

Good luck

Probably 3 a.m. or so. St. Louis to Dallas is about an hour and a half. Tall task tonight playing a rested Stars team on the second night of a back to back.

looking forward to this rematch. i'm expecting niemi to make at least one save with his face while he's flopping around.

PLEASE GET JAKE OFF THAT (frank)ING LINE.

it could work in their favor with the stars sitting around a few days. working on face save drills in practice only gets you so far. nothing like a real game.

Voracek is being wasted playing with muckers and grinders. Have to get him going.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Flyers played well tonight. They've played well the last 10 games with the exception of that debacle against the Jackets. That game was a disgrace. Hartnell with 3 points, Bob locking them down, and the Fonz with that smug look on his face. Has anything ever been more predictable then the outcome of that game?

He's downplayed his demotion since it happened but you have to think at some point Jake gets fed up with not playing with Giroux and speaks out. I wouldn't blame him if he did.

I just hope Niemi doesn't register another shotless win

BSchenn is having a good run at 1RW so I'm OK with him staying there, but playing Voracek with VdV for this long is dumb.
