Yet another defenseman out. I guess it's not a bad thing to see how the team overcomes injuries at this point in the season.
Good news is Lindgren was back at practice yesterday in a non-contact jersey. Trouba has been skating on his own, and will be 3 weeks out this Friday, so I am sure he is close. Gust they said is day-to-day, so I doubt he is out long. I would think on track to all be back for the last few games of the regular season at worst (our regular season ends April 15th). I think Scanlin will be in for Gust tonight. Big game for the Flyers who are 2 points ahead of the Caps for 3rd in the Met, but the Caps have 2 games in hand to move ahead of them. If position matters, key game for us also to stay ahead of the Canes/Panthers/Bruins.
Agreed, that's why I want 1st overall in the East and play Flyers/Caps/Wings, or finish behind the Canes in the Met and play Flyers/Caps in the first round.
Team looks lifeless tonight. Crowd is lifeless. 3 AHL defensemen doesn’t help nor does having Brodzinski in there. Would rather have almost ANYONE out there but him. He just kills any line he is on. Glad we signed him to a 2 year extension.
Hey look…Miller again out there covering, you guessed it…NOT A FUCKING SOUL. I swear, sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
I think this game isn't too surprising. The Flyers are playing to make the playoffs and are obviously very motivated. The Rangers are coming off an emotional win, without 3 of their top 6 dmen, and without their # 3 C. No excuses, but the Rangers have been flat as a pancake tonight, and it is sort of predictable, and again it isn't that surprising IMO.
Look at what's stake for each team tonight, and the Rangers missing half their D. This effort and result so far cannot be that surprising or upsetting to you.
