Questions to Answer
- Huge game for Bob tonight. How’s he do?
- The intensity from the Flyers in the last 45 minutes of Tuesday’s game, maybe even the entire 60, was off the charts. Does that carry over tonight?
- Meszaros and Coburn were great on Tuesday (and Saturday, really). Can they keep it up?
- Kind of piggy-backing off question 3: How much time to SOD and Boynton see tonight?
Go Flyers.
