Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/21/21 @ WSH

Thanks Bill. Go Flyers!

It’s sickening seeing the Rangers that far ahead of us in the standings. Boston with a few games in hand, not looking good heading into the Christmas break.

Why are you making a "gameday" post, when it was announced yesterday that all games are postponed?

Thursday games are cancelled.

The interview with Yeo on the Flyers Daily podcast this morning was interesting. I can definitely see more players playing with confidence of late. Looking to go into the Christmas break with a Flyers win.

Let’s go Flyers!

reading comprehension is not your strongpoint, is it, gregman?

Any thoughts on putting RR in front of net on power plays ?

Yes, are they planning to try it?

This could be the game, win and you have something to hold onto but do t and sell it all.

caps are really good 5v5, Flyers, well, are not …

Flyers either show up and make a statement or give more proof they are what we have been watching.

LETS GO FLYERS

The game will be streamed on ESPN+/Hulu.

Does this mean that in-market folks won't be able to watch it on NBC Sports Philadelphia on television?

Apparently that is the case. We have to watch through ESPN+/Hulu. Should be stellar play by play and commentary

Is there any word on our injured players?

Namely.....Sam Morin and Wade Allison?

Anything good for lunch on todays menu?

What is ESPNs plan here? To alienate the few hockey fans that actually exist? I’m not signing up for ESPN to watch one game likewise HULU.

All injured players are now being sent to:
Planet X to fix
injury Unknown X
Y is unknown.
Therefore, injured players will
return way too early and re-injure themselves.

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate this new TV package that the NHL signed with these two dipshyte stations(ESPN/TNT). TNT puts games on at 10PM on Wednesday nights when no one on the east coast cares and ESPN doesn't broadcast ANY games on their parent station or ESPN2. Now I come to find out that I can't watch tonight's game unless I sign up for ESPN+.......WTF!! This sucks!! I mean God forbid that they take off fake wrestling and the world wide of Poker to broadcast hockey games. Buttman sold his soul to the devil for some extra cash stash. Joker!

Always a good question. I thought you brought up a great point the other day about corned beef hash. A couple of fried eggs on top, a few shakes of hot sauce, and rye toast on the side. Hard to beat for breakfast.

Wow, that really sucks for in-market folks. The NHL and ESPN are really screwing this up.

I'm assuming (perhaps naively) that NHL CI will show it for us out of market folks.

I'd rather not get my kicks on route 66.

I'm with you on this. I have never watched so little hockey in 20 years, or so, as I have this year. I only see Flyers games or the occasional game on NHL network.

sometimes route 66 is the only road you can drive on.

Yep, same here. We have the NHL Network, so able to see some games on there. I can't believe the powers to be of the NHL signed off on this deal. Talk about losing exposure to your sport. Say what you want about NBC, but they had games on NBCSN on a regular basis and marketed the sport relatively well.
