Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 10/18/21 vs. SEA

Thanks Bill. Go Flyers!

Seeing reports Jimmy Hayes died of a overdose of cocaine and fentanyl. Hope that isn’t true.

What is on the lunch menu today?

I live in Boston and it is true, and sadly not surprising given the circumstances of his death, and talking to people that knew him. Fentanyl is a killer in and of itself, but when you mix it with cocaine you got no shot. Just another example how Fentanyl is destroying lives and families!

Why do you hope it isn't true? Is anyone really shocked by the autopsy reports?

No, however its tragic to see a 31 year old married man with two young children dead because of an addiction. No one would wish this on anyone.

The Vegas lines have the Kraken favored tonight and I agree with them. This will be the 4th game for the Kraken vs. only the 2nd for the Flyers so I think the Kraken have their game a little ahead so far. I hope the Flyers win of course, but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. More than anything I just want Hart to look much better than he did the other night.

He was a user who paid the ultimate price sadly. These high profile well to do peeps that do blow need to buy one of those kits they sell that you test your coke to see if laced with fentanyl. Think it has a 94% effectiveness rating.

A team that isnt all that talented. One that plays hard every shift. From what I have seen hustles their ass off. Gets in on the fore-check. In other words the type of team the flyers struggle against.

What sites do you use lol everything I see is Flyers at least -130.

Flyers -140 on DraftKIngs.

https://www.nhl.com/pengu...alary-cap-era/c-325627144

The Penguins earned 51 points, well ahead of second-place Chicago (41 points); third-place Tampa Bay (40 points); fourth-place Boston (30 points) and fifth-place Los Angeles (29 points).


Anyone have the Athletic to see where the Flyers placed.

Wouldn't surprise me. Hakstol returns to Philly. It would be the classic Flyers loss.

Still looking... I don't ever recall seeing that article and I read everything.

Flyers ranked 15.

15. Philadelphia Flyers
Total: 16

This season was a frustrating step back for a franchise that looked like it was emerging as a potential contender once again. Consistency has been a challenge for the Flyers during the cap era outside the Jeff Carter / Mike Richards stretch. Getting Carter Hart back on track to stardom will go a long way in re-establishing this team.

Total playoff years: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10SCF, 09, 08CF, 06

Calculations began with the advent of the salary cap, the 2005-06 season.


Winning the Stanley Cup (SC): 11 points

Losing in the Stanley Cup Final (SCF): 5 points
Losing in the conference final (CF): 3 points
Making the playoffs: 1 point

29. Arizona Coyotes
Total: 6

At least Jakob Chychryn appears to be really good, so the Coyotes have that going for them.

Total playoff years: 20, 12CF, 11, 10

30. Toronto Maple Leafs
Total: 6

The Maple Leafs are piling up playoff appearances with a talented roster. The breakthrough is coming. It might not feel like it right now, but it’s coming.

Total playoff years: 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 13

31. Florida Panthers
Total: 4

Remember the first-round series between the Lightning and Panthers? It was great. Fun, fast-paced hockey. Spencer Knight made his postseason debut. The Panthers went toe-to-toe with the champs. A legitimate reason for hope.

Total playoff years: 21, 20, 16, 12

Vegas doesn't pick odds based on wins and losses. They set the line to encourage equal betting on both sides. The Kraken are an expansion team. They don't have any advantage and I don't care how many games they've played. The Flyers are the better team, therefore they have the advantage. Have to show up though and can't take any team lightly.
