    Flyers got a much needed 1st win last night. Coots and Sanheim’s minutes were down to more normal levels for the 1st time all season. Glad to see Andrae get almost 11 minutes.

    Last year’s home opener had Coots playing 4th line wing with no explanation. I can’t imagine anyone is happier that Torts is gone than Couterier.

    Couturier makes it clear on an early difference between Tocchet and Tortorella

    Still can’t believe Torts was the face of the franchise for 3 years.

    The first period saw a marked difference in pace from the Flyers first game in Sunrise. Using a quick and disruptive forecheck, they built an early 6-3 shot advantage in the opening nine minutes of play.

    Is it any coincidence that the 1st game they went with their big less skilled veterans lineup to a younger younger more skilled lineup last night on both offense and defense with players playing more balanced minutes?

    The Flyers are going to be at a disadvantage on the ice most games this season. The Flyers need to stop trying to play the lineup they wish they had and play the best possible lineup for the team they actually have.

    these are they games they need to win when facing a team backup goalie and minus their star players.

    florida looked like they had no interest in playing last night.

    rookie russian looks solid. would loo into finding a way to get him more minutes.

    dvorak playing 1st line minutes again is comical.

    the jett once again without a shot on goal. he needs touches and lots of ice time/minutes. this will not happen at the nhl level this season.

    tocchet does nothing for me a as a coach.

    Flyers had two of their top 4 D out Thursday and last night too. FLA has 3 great lines when fully healthy. Thursday and last night, they had 2 great lines. FLA looked especially uninterested in the third. Hahahaha!

    Grebenkin will get more minutes as the season goes on. Who do you think moves up when the Flyers get an inevitable forward injury? Dvorak is a solid 2 way player, wins faceoffs and the Flyers played with the lead most of the night. Why wouldn’t you use a player like that in such a situation?

    So they split with the two time Cup champs in a home and home and steal a point on the road from the other conference finalist and you’re still whining about Jett and don’t like Tocchet as a coach. That’s rich.

    Why should they acquire anybody any time soon? They’ve absorbed having two of their top 4 Dmen out. They’re cycling guys in, out and around on the blueline and seeing what they can do. Ginning, Juulsen, Andrae and Zamula are a combined +1 after three games vs. good teams. As a comparison, Minnesota’s Top 4 are a combined -13 after three games. We get to see them Saturday. That should be interesting.

    why would I care what Minnesota’s top 4 are doing? how is that relevant to the flyers?

    send me your address as will mail you a brick by brick t shirt.

    For the second time, just for you, the Flyers are playing Minnesota Saturday. I’m not surprised you think how an opponent this coming weekend is playing isn’t relevant.

    Irrelevant to the flyers.

    I get it your trying to talk about buium without talking about him. My bad.

    By your logic you wouldn’t trade any of those flyer players you mentioned for any of minnys top 4.

    dont think the coach knows what to do with MM, and zegras to an extent. How long can they continue to play Sanheim the minutes he is playing? Same with Seeler as he will be greatly exposed at some point.

    will they give andrae a real look or will Juulson stay in the lineup when york returns.

    Hahaha! I have been keeping an eye on MIN because of Buium but the whole team is a catastrophe defensively. They do have a great power play and Buium is part of that. They have 8 PP goals in 3 games. That’s dangerous. They gave up 7 to CLB. They had a 3 goal lead on LA in the 3rd and blew that, although they did win in OT. They can’t play in their own end. They look like they’re going to be one of the worst defensive teams in the league unless they turn things around.
