GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Flyers, 7:30pm TNT WGR

[Porous Five Hole]

Flyers backup Samuel Ersson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, indicating we are getting the backup tonight (per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Phili).  
 

He’s 4-2-2 with an .859%.  Ripe for the picking!

Let Gary Bettman know ASAP.

While I am at it, I'll let him know my thoughts on 3v3 OT and shootouts.

Is it a TNT blackout?

Sorry Scotty. I was just going by what WGR posted in the pre-game article. I don't see this on my ESPN+ schedule. Is it on TNT tonight?

Yea, and yea ya made my heart skip a few beats. I’ve been living on highlights, intermittent live feeds and this forums gdt responses live as I’ve worked 60+ hrs a week, 12 hr 7pm to 7am shifts for near a month now. Xmas for the grandkids getting pricey, grandpa’s had to make sacrifices 😅

Are you always susceptible to marketing or just from the NHL and Terry Pegula? 

Susceptible? I always took it as carrying water.

My point is the rules are the rules. Until they eliminate the OTL point, those still matter. 

And maybe some of you are just young whippersnappers and don't remember when NHL games ended in ties. Each team got a point. So don't look at it as a loss. Look at it as a tie with a bonus point awarded to the OT winner. Because essentially that's what it is.

We're actually 5-5 vs PHI over the last 10 games, certainly doesn't feel that way.

One day I was in NYC waiting for a train and I went inside the lobby of the building next door to check my phone. Turned out that was NHL headquarters. I thought about stopping in to say hi to Gary but I didn't want security to taze me.

Or what a kicking motion is.

I'm saving a perfectly chilled LaChouffe just for tonight. Unfortunately I have a 6pm meeting to attend first. So I might have to catch up.

Correct. No ESPN+ but if you get TNT on your TV package there is no blackout. It's a national broadcast.
