Luongo on IR and Hellebuyck not starting today.

edit: Kincaid has been lights out this season so far.

I am calling it. The Flyers will look like a different team today and WIN in regulation.

As for future games...who knows.

One step at a time. I will take a WIN in regulation.

I know NJ had been playing really well, but this isn't a team that scares me. Top line heavy and the D and even Kincaid aren't anything to write home about.

However with that said, the Devils always give this team fits so who knows? I'd like see Flyers win a low scoring affair. See if they can't grind out a 3-2 type game. Won't bother me one bit if they score 5 like their 3 wins though 👌

Tends to be their speed that hurts the Flyers. Simple plays and avoid open ice turnovers for them to transition should help negate that.

Sounds familiar, but at least we got some secondary scoring for the first time since in a decade

I hate the Devils, but not in a way that you hate rival teams in the division.

I hate that the franchise exists in the first place.

I’ve been a huge proponent of Hextall’s rebuild, but, at what point does he get off his hands to try and not waste Giroux and Voracek’s best years? Giroux is 31 in January, Voracek is 29, is it time you use some of the assets he’s stockpiled to improve the team for the now?

This.. also, hoping Patrick can start to find his game now that he's back. Really need him to play solid two way and put up some points.

If we look at the positions that need upgrading such as defense and goaltending, they've got players like Myers, Morin, and Hart not far away. So should they trade a top asset for that? They're loaded with quality forward prospects.

Flyers aren't playing well to start but still what, 6 games in? No need to overreact at this point.

Maybe 7 years without getting out of the first round will be the magic number.

Gostisbehere/Folin pairing scares me. In order to play Gostisbehere the minutes he commands, they have to play Folin a lot more than I'd like to see. Maybe they'll mix in putting Gostisbehere and Provorov for some shifts. They need to get MacDonald healthy and back playing like he is capable of.

Has Hextall been in charge of the team for all of those 7 years?

Not that I'm signing Gudas' praise or anything but I'm confused why he's getting fewer minutes than Folin.

Myers and a healthy Morin can't get here soon enough.
