Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 1/13/24 @ WGP, Phantoms vs. Hartford

Time to blow the jets doors off Boeing style let’s go flyers!!! Let’s go flyers!!!! Let’s go flyers!!!

The Flyers seem to be catching a lot of teams with injury issues lately. Should that dampen the recent optimism on they play lately?

Flyers have caught a lot of breaks this season overall. Very unlike seasons in the past. A lot of the what ifs this year going exactly right.

How long will it last?

Just like injuries..how do you miss hundreds of man games the last couple of years, and this year we have basically lost just Cates.

The flyers may have got some easy breaks, but they're not being given any wins here. Last night was clearly a hand pass missed call that quickly turned into a goal, a fluke goal given up by Carter and down 3-1 late to a good defensive team, the Flyers earned those 2 points last night. This team is overperforming, been awhile since we had a team overperform expectations.

Don't forget Risto

Drysdale got away with an obvious penalty on the GWG sequence so it went both ways last night.

I had..still way down from the last 2 years. Maybe an improvement in the medical staff? Torts had mentioned it had been fixed.

I thought it should have been a penalty.

He sure seems to have more of these fluke goals...wierd angle, rolling up the pad type of goals against lately.

I heard some Flyer fans when to a BC game to this week to give Cutter a “see you later” preview but I can’t find the story. Has anyone else hear of this or did I just hear some fake news?

No.

This is a big game for the Flyers. Hopefully they can keep an upwards trajectory and build off of their last 2 wins. Hopefully the Flyers can actually compete and skate with this team.

I think with the way the Flyers are playing and the style that they play. They can be competitive with a lot of teams. I have worries about this team wearing down though in the second half.

Booooooo they moved the Buffalo game to Monday.

Pansies

The Wild played their first decent game in awhile. It looked like Erickson-Ek got shoved after getting his jersey grabbed. It should have been a holding call. But it shouldn’t come down to that when they had a 2 goal lead. No lead is safe for the team with no depth. The Wild had to shorten the bench and play 4D just to get a point.

Is Ersson as good or better than Hart right now?

If he plays well tonight and we win vs the jets I’d put hart on waivers immediately in the hope he gets taken. We only need one solid nhl tender moving forward.

You have GOT to be kidding me!! WTF!!! The guys that played in that frozen Tundra game have got to be rolling around in their graves.

Watching Erickson-Ek. He's one of the underrated and underappreciated players in the league. They do have some talent.

Wve”ve discussed previously some of the similarities between Couturier and JEE.

Not sure why I’m still surprised by how stupid, and lacking in common decency, people are? To go to a college game to harass a kid because you’re disappointed he’s not going to play for the team you like? 🙄
