Flyers Game Day Thread: Dec. 23 @ Blackhawks

Hawks have lost 13 of their last 16 games and both Nazar and Bedard are out with injury, they’re sinking to the bottom again very quickly.

Flyers still have 4 games left in this stretch against inferior opponents. 7 points is a lot in 4 games, but they could use them.

Does the team go full Torts mode tonight in the defensive zone with Ersson in net? Ersson has played in a 123 games in his career, he is what he is at least for this organization. I do believe a change of scenery will be best for his career. I wonder how much longer the leash will be for Ersson to try and improve. I would assume latest Olympic break, if he is still below .890 save %, they will have to give Kolosov some games to lessen the burden on Vladar.

The Flyers will have the 2nd best record in the conference on Christmas Day and the 6th best record in the entire league. Merry Christmas to everyone but their miserable haters.

Full credit to Ersson playing well. Whew that was such a soft call on Couts late in the third. Felt the HaWks would punch thru to tie the game, but the defense held. That #9 on the blueline keeps playing well. Really, really solid in all areas of the ice.

You’re not going to have success in the playoffs unless you’ve had enough success during the regular season to make them. This is a fairly simple concept to grasp.
