Yep! You guys have it pretty well covered. Main point I was going to make is I think Jake makes more sense on the top line. They really shuffled a lot for Game 1. JvR to the 4th line. Jake to the 3rd. Farabee to the 1st (though he did play there for TB). I thought that kinda showed. Everything was a little bit off. Might’ve been a little more cohesive if they swapped Farabee/Jake.

Doesn’t sound like AV wants to change it up though so I guess we’ll see. He wants to spread things out a bit and get a little more depth to the scoring. If that’s the case, why not keep Jake at RW and keep JvR on the 3rd. JvR-Grant-Jake as a 3rd line would be absurd. NAK-Thompson-Pitlick makes good sense too.

But hey, we won and he’s probably coach of the year. So I’ll trust him. Makes me nervous though!

Why would the lines from last game make you nervous? If Price doesn't make the save of a lifetime and Thompson puts the puck into a wide open net we win 4-1. That's is almost the same scores as the previous three games.

I'm going with Gee tonight final score 4-2. Hopefully we get a full 60 minutes like we did for the round robin.

I know a few people that are working in the bubble

The ice is holding up well. They are working on it all night.
The ice is thicker than normal to hold up to the amount of usage.

Probably cant tell but the lines are not as bright as normal. This means thicker ice.

I know this because I work in the industry.

Im trying to squeeze my way into the bubble but so far no dice

SOOOoooo This board is now putting it on you to get a Flyers logo painted at center ice. How hard can it be ?

Terrible start for our boys. Montreal playing fast and beating us to the puck. Hart keeping us in this game so far.

We look slow. It's going to be tough to play comeback with Price in net. Of course we have no puck control or shots either.

Montreal gave the Flyers a true ass whooping after one period. This looks like the Flyers from the past.

This is pathetic. Can't even score on a 5-3. I hope this team wakes up soon. Almost has a feel of how the Pens went down.

WTF JvR? You had Provy open and yet you shoot it right to Price? This team is off today. I'm surprised AV has not taken his time out already.

Bet nobody steps up for Elliott. Wonder if Giroux will ever decide to show up for a game, if so maybe he can find Coots and give him a ride to. Pathetic.

I think Montreal found the weakness for the Flyers. This is very concerning. If you give Price the lead, it's trouble for the Flyers.
