Well, I hope at least you're saving your quota of worry for the Flyers...

... and that it's more than a feeling.

maybe compared to the last two games. I wonder how Boston will play after the layoff.

I see what happened there

Just glad it’s not a 1PM start , there have been a number of blowouts by the Bruins at these Saturday day games over the years

When the coach says 48- 72 hrs does that mean he is getting a COVID test or multiple COVID tests?

Didn’t we play a team last week that had COVID issues?

Player would immediately be placed in COVID protocol which would be announced.

So I see NAK scored his first goal for the Avs last night. Of course he also had his obligatory 2 minute minor penalty(boarding). Good for him.

Pretty marginal penalty call, but he really does have a NAK for getting them

Would you say their window is closed?

Are they running out of air?

They can’t Delp it. Their forward depth is shallow, and Ullmark has been known to choke.

lol of course. he is not with us anymore, so will start to shine and develop.


quote didn't work....NAK that is.

It would be nice to get two points today, but playing Boston is never easy!

Interesting bit of news out of Boston that is causing quite a stir around here. The Fenway group which owns Fenway Park, The Red Sox, half of NESN with the Jacobs group (who own the Bruins) and Liverpool soccer among other things will become the majority owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mario Lemieux is staying on as a minority owner. Its weird considering the Fenway group is now in bed with the local NHL franchise and the Penguins, thus people wonder how this would work and if there would be a conflict of interest somehow. I don't know, but its interesting ...

There is certainly a potential for conflict of interest issues.

Are there any other majority owners among the big four that own 2 teams in the same league? I’m sure the ownership groups are set up in a way to acquire more than one team and bypass any legal/competitive issues.

I don’t think their window is closed but I don’t think they’re what they were when they won a cup or sniffing at finals in recent years. That’s just my opinion though. I still feel like they have one of the greatest top lines in history but when you lose Chara, Rask and Krug and than filling the void with players that are gonna cost you an arm and a leg like Taylor Hall, it doesn’t sound like the right way to continue contending.

It’s amazing to think how much money Crosby will have made Mario.

$36m of deferred payments turned himself into their biggest creditor. Something like $20-$25m of that got him controlling interest. Like 20 years later it’s rumored this potential sale goes for $900m

That was mostly a joke revolving around the city and “Delp”

See Brad Delp and his…final project, I guess we’ll put it

I see what happened there

All I want is for him to have his peace of mind.

After finishing weak against TB, I would hope for a strong 60 minute output today, coming away with the only 2 pts for the game, coming our way. No OT, and please no shootout.

Does anyone know how to rewatch games on this (frank)in ESPN app?

For a five-facet preview of this game, see "Five Things: Flyers vs. Bruins" on the Flyers' official website.
