Will there be a roster announcement at all or you find up in warm ups or puck drop?

Lights cut out during the national anthem. Raffl enters with the full Shawn Michaels treatment.

To mess with montreal in game 1 av had 3 extras skate. I didn't see game 2 early enough to know if he did the same. So I expect pyck drop basically

So Oskar Lindblom has to be trotted out to get the team properly motivated? Why stop there? Why not get the Kate Smith song on blast?

Not buying that this team, especially it’s leaders, need some kind of outside factor to motivate themselves. If they do, it’s a serious (frank)ing problem.

Someone explain to me the deal with the Kate Smith song.

It brought a team good luck like 45 years ago and has been beaten like a dead horse ever since.

The rationale for playing Gostisbehere was not to get him experience. What are you talking about? LOL.
- MJL

I should not have used the word "experience." I should have said "experiment." He did not dress for the post-season (except the exhibition game) until the last game, by which time we were #1 or #2. It was to give him a look and see what he had.

The sample set was too small for a decision like that, is my opinion. I understand you disagree.

Do you actually know what a controlled breakout is? A controlled breakout is when the opposition dumps the puck in such as on a line change and the team retrieving the puck sets up a controlled breakout. It's a breakout against a 3/4 ice 1-2-2 where the other team is not forechecking hard. It is situational. It is completely different from a teams breakout system against an aggressive forecheck.
- MJL

Out of bored curiosity and politeness, which part of what I wrote led you to believe that I was suggesting a controlled breakout when there is no control? Or it was not situational? I did mention a waiting forward on the other team at the neutral zone for the pass.

The Flyers tried a lot of stretch passes last game, after gaining control.

Defenseman are occasionally going to get beat. It happens to every defenseman. .
- MJL

That play, and that specific manner of getting beat, happened often. Watch goal 4 and Braun's play, for example.

Moving on from here to suggested line combos.

That will get the guys fired up and ready to play the right way! Maybe glass can shatter in the middle of JVR’s intro and Frost will replace him via stone cold Steve Austin.

Suggested line combos:

Roo-Couts-Cek

Laughts-Hez-JVR

Bee-Grant-Pitlick

Raffl-Nate-NAK

D:

Hagg for Ghost

Who are Cek and Hez?

Great blog! Danault has blossomed into a legit Selke nominee.

Here's the trade that brought him to Montreal:

Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Phillip Danault and Chicago's second-round draft pick in 2018. That second round pick became defenseman prospect Alexander Romanov.

That will get the guys fired up and ready to play the right way! Maybe glass can shatter in the middle of JVR’s intro and Frost will replace him via stone cold Steve Austin.

I’m still laughing from the post earlier about TK “dramatically” tapping his stick for Oskar. Jfc. Just be prepared to put up a fight with another team.

Thanks. Missed it. I do hope that was not an euphemism.

hahahah.....nevermind i remember

SUPER JOE HATRICK!!!

this shouldnt even be reviewed.....(frank)ing ridiculous interpretation/enforcement of the rule

Jamie oleksiak playing a lot for Dallas and he has not been good .

- PT21

Pretty clear in your wording that you have no idea what a controlled breakout actually is, and still don't.

"Throughout our success, we had a controlled breakout: Two D and a forward low to receive the first pass. Forward hitting neutral ice with speed."

It brought a team good luck like 45 years ago and has been beaten like a dead horse ever since.

Well that’s not what I mean. I don’t wanna get into a race rant but some guy on the Facebook Flyers feed site made a few racist comments and says how he plays the Kate Smith song loud and proud. I guess I don’t understand the correlation.

There’s a website called google, helps with these sort of things.
