Flyers at 5:30

Curious to see how the NHL season holds up. It should surprise no one that Dallas has nearly three quarters of the positive Covid-19 tests.

Let's go Flyers and let's go Gene Hart.

Is Nolan Patrick gonna hold up? Are the defensemen good enough? Does G have another year in him? Are these guys contenders or pretenders?

Flyers might be the strongest team down the middle in the NHL now that Patrick is healthy.
It looks like Braun will start out as the D partner of Provorov. We’ll see how that goes but I’m not sold on that pairing. My feeling is that Fletcher will end up needing to trade for a more solid veteran defender to pair with IP. Myers will be a stud some day but he isn’t ready for the top pair yet. He still gets lost in the D zone at times but should get better as he gains more experience.
If Hart keeps improving who knows? So much will depend upon his continued progress but that’s pretty Captain Obviousish.
They could still use a beast scorer at the wing trading for one won’t be easy. The twits that believe Colorado would take JakeV and Sanheim for Laine are delusional and including Coots in the deal would be silly.
I don’t know that they’re ready just yet to be a solid Cup contender but they’re close. Again, so much depends on Hart.

It seems Braun is only on top pair because Ghost is out with mystery illness(could be Covid related)

[Loki]

Ghost isn’t a top pair guy, either. Talk about lost in the D zone. Yikes.
