Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 10/16/18 vs FLA

With the panthers not winning a game yet I can see the flyers having problems if they aren’t ready to play from beginning to end.

I wish they would swap TK and V in order to improve first line's finishing percentage.

I hope fans will be more civil with that than with the Snyder's night bracelets.

While the 5 on 5 is frustrating at this point in the season, it is not THAT demonstrative. The bigger concern to me is the performance of the Team D and of everyone accept Ghost. Provorov looks like he did his first few weeks in the league (remember that -5 night), and Sanheim doesn't have the confidence and crisp passing reads he showed at the end of last season. All of this is more or less explainable by youth, it's early in the season and frankly....I am not sure I agree with the D pairings...but that is me.

On the healthy -to-be and what should happen to Neuvy....Waive him. He is an okay to good goalie when healthy, but you can't count on him being healthy. It is what it is. Waive him, keep Pickard around and know that Stoli and Lyon can both play in the NHL if need be.

I hope fans will be more civil with that than with the Snyder's night bracelets.

I really don't want to find out what will happen with the Chia pets if the Flyers give another performance like they did at the home opener....

Tomorrow will be day 7 for Patrick. So hopefully he is getting close to returning to the lineup.

Do we know if it was in fact a Concussion? Pettersson was injured and they said concussion 7-10 days so it makes me wonder if same injury.

Perhaps, they will be given out upon exit after the game.

With the Cats winless, I expect the Flyers to give away a free win tonight. It’s just the Flyer way.

Isn't Lyon just on a conditioning stint in the AHL? So when he comes back up we will have 3 goalies, + Neuvirth. It'll be interesting.

no, the reports were wrong and he's actually waiver exempt allegedly

No he was sent down. There was some wrinkle in his waiver exempt status that he was actually exempt this season.

Edit: Leight..

Thanks for setting me straight!

4-1 cats -- Elliot gets chased in the first after giving up 3 goals on 5 shots

Time to get back on the winning track!

Pretty sure it was Bob Boughner who almost killed Eric Lindros.

I see team negative is up bright and early.

No, was assigned to AHL. Is waiver exempt still because of his ELC signing age.

Might as well just concede the season now and forfeit all of the games from here on out. Will save us all a bunch of time and energy.

Such as cool, unique giveaway! Looking forward to getting mine, as well.

I did that In September on the opening day of training camp. Orientation day was a catastrophe.

The Flyers, for the most part, played pretty well last game. I think it continues tonight. I'm predicting that Provorov has his best game of the season to date, that TK gets off the schneid and that Moose has another strong game in goal. That being said, the Panthers won't make it easy as they are desperate for a win, but in the end, the Flyers win this one 4-2 with the last goal being an EN goal off the stick of Coots.

I thought they did more to win on Saturday than they did on opening night. Just the way it works sometimes.
