Flyers? Seriously? I think they are way overrated.

One of the best coaches in the league, really improved their play this year with coaching and the addition of Kevin Hayes at second line Center made a huge difference.

I don’t know if they win even their initial series but they’re built solid and their goaltending has been much improved with Carter Hart. Good Sherwood Park Alberta boy

I’m still of the opinion this thing will get sidetracked with Covid somehow.

I think if anything sidetracks the RTP it will be Edmonton's arena


A couple of players already have tested positive and are back in the mix. Caleb Jones being the latest and we all know about Matthews.

Golf tourney today!!

I like that score lol

I read they had a leaky roof or something?

No doubt and I think that’s a fair assessment; improved but still work to be done.

There's Vintsy!!

How's Gaunce doing on the 4th line in Boston??

Hoisting that cup??

oh wait...

Good deflection, never change.

Beagle is awful. $4million awful.

*waits for the photo of Ovi hugging him*

Other than face-offs that guy should be making league minimum, he’s terrible

AV turned the team defense completely around despite not getting a big bump in ES goaltending. Flyers went from #30 to #11 in the league in ES GA/G. PK went from #26 to #11. Those are dramatic turnarounds.

Meanwhile the improvement in ES SV% from #28 up to #22 was less dramatic, which suggests that the overall defensive improvement was more coaching/buy-in/systems-related than goalie variance. Offense improved a lot too, from #15 in ES GF/G up to #6.

I think they will manage to power through. All this “unfit to play” makes me think that they are shutting guys down immediately if they have any symptoms until they get (just a guess) negative test results on consecutive days. It might mean a team is without a key player for a game/series, but I think they will continue to play. Like for instance, if Beagle is unable to go the Canucks will lose to Minnesota which would be unfortunate but win win, they get the first overall selection in the draft.

$4 million worth.

Honestly, I don’t think any of the sports will halt because of Covid. Without fans, the risks are too low to do mass damage, and with the US approaching 100k per day, nobody seems to care. Healthcare workers are going to take this one in the Lord H

We'll bring Gaunce Dowd and Vey back to satisfy your burning desire for 800K 4th liners!!

Any one of them would be better than old, slow and grossly overpaid Beagle.

Am watching the Wild's live practice. Looks like beer league at 8 rinks. They need to get it in gear if they are going to help us get Lafreniere.

Dubnyk looks terrible.

I haven’t tried it but a buddy recommended it.

But a good Cote du Rhône, or if you want to spend a bit more go for a Gigondas, Vacqueras or Chateauneuf-du-Pape
