See you at 7:30pm @TVASports for an interesting duel between @NHLFlyers Vs @mnwild and a chance for Marc-André Fleury to overtake Patrick Roy! With me: @EricFichaud and @Bettez24! pic.twitter.com/M8jDMCJolU

Why would I do that? Because Marc-André Fleury will be in front of the Wild cage. With a win, the Quebecer would surpass Patrick Roy in the NHL’s all-time wins list. The two goalkeepers currently stand at 551 victories.
And if for some reason you wanted to see Bobby Brink play, change your plans: he won’t be there.
Even though he’s a Minnesota native, he’ll be left out in front of family and friends. Classic Torts.

The controversial coach explained himself, and as much as we don’t like him, he’s right. This is the NHL, and if a player falls on hard times, he won’t be rewarded. This is even truer when the player in question hasn’t yet established himself and is only 22 years old.
Tortorella stressed that he can’t always watch when a certain player’s parents are in the stands.
This is one of the aspects of the game that youngsters have to get through. – John Tortorella
Torts would have liked his parents to see him play, but that’s the way it turned out, unfortunately. In 36 games this season, Brink has collected 18 points.
In his last five games, the young forward hasn’t collected a point, which may explain the coach ‘s decision to leave him out.
Perhaps the coach’s official explanation is wrong and this is the real reason for his presence in the stands, hehe :
The Flyers clearly hate fun
