Playing a big heavy panthers lineup seems to me they need the beef of abols and ND……
Be typical flyers to call up andrae then sit him. Flyers need to see what they have in him, unless they have already determined he isn’t an nhl player. Juulson stinks and zamula hasn’t improved. Read someehwere zamuls agent is whining about playing time. Any truth tp that Bill?
Insert Andra and keep ginning as well.
Its early though they need to realize this is not a playoff nor anywhere near a contending team.
At the end of September, Andrae was sent to the Phantoms after playing just two preseason games. At the time, Flyers management seemed underwhelmed with his early performance. With two smaller statured offensive defensemen in York and Jamie Drysdale, the team seemed reticent on having a third.
…
Following their opening two games (and really going back to the end of preseason), Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet hasn’t received consistent play from his depth defensemen. Egor Zamula struggled mightily in that time, Adam Ginning made the roster as a long shot, while Noah Juulsen has been relatively nondescript in his play.Gilbert, who had been waived prior to the York injury announcement, was scratched in both regular season games.
Deja vu. In choices between size and skill, youth and vet they picked the team they wish they had instead of for the team they actually have. I get that they would rather Emil never play an NHL game for them ever again because he would never make the FLA panthers 6’+ blue line but neither would most of the Flyers defense for other reasons. When given a choice between making the best bad choice or the worst bad choice. They tend to make the worst.
Good to see that Jett is projected to play. As long as he’s up he might as well be playing.
I do think Tocchet’s honeymoon period isn’t going to be long, he needs a win or at least to show growth as a team. A long losing streak to start the season isn’t going to sit well with a team that is in the playoff mix.
Updated Predictions:
Bobrovsky starts for FLA. They have a back to back Wednesday and Thursday.
Flyers win.Nine of the next 10 Flyers game are at home.
* Emil Andrae has been recalled. Dennis Gilbert sent to the Phantoms.
* Flyers’ had an off day tonight. Morning skate at the arena tomorrow.
* The Bernie Parent memorial uniform patch and the “1” behind the nets debut tomorrow.Are they sure? Andrae will never be 6’2″ and 218lbs like Gilbert and Gilbert could be poached by other teams that covet him. just kidding on the covet part. That is apparently why he didn’t make the initial roster, not being a huge lumbering vet. What changed? He eat his wheaties? Reminds me of Torts doing the same thing at the beginning of last season after poop hit the fan. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Any word if Jett will will be watching the game from the press box? What about Bonk’s injury? What is it and has it escalated further or is he actually going to be on the ice soon?
