Interesting tidbit on Risto.
Ristolainen, who is listed on Matt Larkin’s trade board and whom I wrote about several times recently, is still not being shopped, even when healthy, a source reiterated to me. His absence in recent games has once again shown the team his importance on their second and third pair, according to team sources. By the sounds of it, Ristolainen will really need to be pulled out of Philadelphia with a big offer more than ever.
It seems like the Flyers are rider or die with him. It’s hard to see what his impact is when he’s only played 13 games this year and is currently injured again and has missed 100+ games over the last 3 years. I struggle to see what his value is to teams from the hot tub. It’s certainly not for his vast playoff experience.
flyers can’t overcome average or bad goaltending. that shows you how far away they really are from true contention.
Bill can you help me understand the consent blowing and trying to prop up one Garnet Hathaway. The 2 announcers cream their pants at just an average play. The whole 4th line infatuation is just very strange. Their tone is just so over the top. Compare that tone to MM. Shit compare how they talked about MM last year to now this year.
still early though I think sens, rangers, blue jackets are done. Devils as well unless they fire the coach and GM maybe the get an uptick. Caps fading. not sure what to make of the pens with skinner in goal. bruins another funny team.
flyers control their own destiny.
no reason at all not to give kolosov a look. doubt they will.
The Pens and Bruins have both been really up and down. The Pens have done it better and are really up again. The bottom half team need to start putting together 10 game streaks at over .500 to even stay close and most aren’t. They need .600+ streaks to gain ground. The Leafs have worked their way back to contention. No complaints about the Caps. Looking more like 98 points to make the playoffs, higher than normal.
They do. Injuries are getting to be an issue again but still at .600 in their last 10.
Wouldn’t rule out a Kolosov look if Ersson continues to struggle.
In reality, the Flyers need more from Ersson, especially over the next few months.
I’d give Kolosov a shot. Ersson will get a chance in one of the TB games. He’s the kind of guy who will have his best game of the season to make this situation bleed out a little longer. Can’t say the Flyers don’t give their guys chances.
They’re still .600 in their last 10, which is fine, but other teams are getting really hot and passing them. Still not enough to push them down and out of the playoffs, but rivals having hot runs.
Seeing some separation between top nine teams of conference and the bottom seven. Very bottom teams look done. BUF has been the only shock turnaround and they are in at the moment.

didnt realize MM hasn’t scored in 6 weeks. the only way to get him on track is to play him. Not with Carl or Cates either. Amazes me MM never seems to get the better quality of linemates overall. There is more than meets the eye here between him and the coach. I 100% believe he will be traded at some point in the next year. Put MM on the side he played last year would also be a start.
Brire has had 3 offseason to replace Sam and hasn’t. Why? he hasn’t got any better and has been pedestrian at every stop he has ever played.
Cates has no business on the PP. Why they refuse to have MM and zegras together seems personal to me as otherwise there is no rational explanation to have them on the same unit.
sitting n 3rd place and if they miss isnt a failure? interesting take since the playoffs were the goal from day 1.
If they get swamped by injuries, no failure. If they don’t and the wheels just fall off the wagon then yes.
Fair enough
