The top 4 D is carrying the load, which is both good and bad. Usually teams don’t play their 3rd pair around 10 mins/game until the playoffs, not in October. Full credit to Vladar for taking advantage of his opportunity. It has been refreshing watching Flyers get above .900 save % for multiple games for a goalie. Does not happen very often over the last couple of years. Dvorak is such a redundant center for what is already on the roster with Couts and Cates. I sure hope the plan is to trade him by the deadline. TK and Michkov have not worked together all season. With the insistence of keeping the Cates line in tact, sure seems like the move is to place TK with Zegras and Dvorak. The coaching staff seems like there is a red line that Zegras and Michkov cannot play together at 5 on 5 with the year being described as “we want to better then last season, but do not have to make the playoffs”.
a re-sign is more likely
they want the playoffs very badly. that is the focus
Another strong performance by the mighty Flyers, limited a strong Wild team to just 16 shots against, that’s great systems play and “coaching101” right there! 🙂

– Crucial 2 points. This type of win is one that can turn the season around. 1 point out of the wild card
– 22 shots including OT. Love it. against the “worse” defensive team. Can’t wait for the spin from the flyer felator.
– MM with the lowest 5 on 5 time out of the top 9 forwards. maybe needs a seat in the press box. like I said the other day the coach has no idea what to do with him. Hope he asks out at some point. when does mm rumors for Hughes start …
-Good to see Zegras taking face offs as that will help him with his development in the future playing center for the flyers
– wild played the prior night did the flyers ?
– Juulson rules. Def has more to offer than Andre. Clear as day flyers made the right call.
– if there really is interest in tippet move him asap
– tocchet is a bozo and briere a putz/puppet
– That arena is dead. Quiet as can be. 16k last game. 17k tonight. hopefulyl peeps are waking up.
– If TK, Sanheim , and ex selke have any ounce of pride they would ask for a trade.
– just an uninspiring roster and coach. Boring stale and bland.
-what has changed in style of play from last year excluding blocking shots. PP still a joke. maybe it wasnt rocky…..
– ND bringing the energy. he sets the tone. Flyers need him in the lineup if they want to hang in this playoff race. His vet calming presence is underrated. He can have an impact in his 8 minutes
– good showcase/ get your head out your ass for zamula. Plenty of upside still there and I think this staff can unlock it
– boucher and JJ should just blow each other already
the jett and russuan#2 scratched. brick by brick.
cant wait to hear the sin on another dumb decision.
ROFL. If he’s not good enough to be in the lineup, even on the 4th line (stupid), what is he doing here? I guess nobody in the Philly brain trust wanted a side by side comparison that even the people who buy their PR bull would get.
As i’ve said all year, play the kids and let them sink or swim, screw the heavy vet lineup which does nothing for the team. Also, if you want to “develop” Jett’s offensive instincts, put him in a position to make some plays. If he isn’t good enough for that he belongs somewhere else. The Flyers have just screwed up so badly with how they yoyo this kid. It has been determined that ND is more valuable to the lineup than Jett or Greb. Crazy.
Also as a reminder, Andrae is a top 6 dman on this team and the only game they’ve won so far was with him on the back end making the right play in getting the puck out of the zone, reliably. He’s not back in the AHL because of merit, it’s bias.
no worries tocchet is on the scene. the 3rd vancouver reject coach in a row thw flyers have hired.
both just piss poor franchises. buff with a “huge” win today.

You are losing it. Plus/minus must be taken with a grain of salt, some of those were empty net goals and I agree that the key to the Flyers winning is staying out of the penalty box (I even mentioned the Wild needing to figure out even strength). The Flyers are still looking up at the Wild in the standings, even though it’s by the slimmest of margins, so what exactly are you crowing about? The Flyers having a league worst PP% yet again? Maybe the Flyers should put that on a tshirt if fans are proud of it.
Nothing about Jett? His playing time? The positions the coach puts him in? Should he be in the NHL? What else do the Flyers need to do besides stay out of the penalty box, the state of the Flyrers defense, etc?
First you say Minnesota needs to figure it out 5V5, now you say +/- needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Which is it? Why is Minnesota giving up ENGs? They’re trailing late in games. The state of the Flyers defense? Their 6 through 9 guys are a combined even after 4 games, all against top tier teams. The need for Jett in the lineup was eliminated by Abols’ surprisingly solid camp. The 4th line had their worst game against WPG without a doubt. Jett will get more looks before a decision is required.
Minnesota’s top four Dmen are a combined -22. Zeev leads the way at -7. They have 5 even strength goals in 5 games. Stay out of the box on them and you win for certain. Can you imagine the response in Philly if the Flyers gave up 7 goals to Columbus at their home opener? How about if they blew a 3 goal lead in the 3rd at home to LA? Fell behind 3-0 to Dallas barely a minute into the 2nd? Got crushed by Washington 5-1? But they have a great power play. Hahahahaha!

Zeev has been an important and productive part of the Wild at 1 PP point/game so far this season. Jett, if he wasn’t DB’s signature pick would be in the OHL instead of sitting on the end of the bench. Min PP% 44%, PHI PP% 7.7%. So far this season Min has been record breakingly good, and PHI record breakingly bad. If MIN ever figures out even strength, look out.
