it does matter, the goal or any points accumulated was not done by the 4th line.
The goal was absolutely scored by a 4th liner, Abols. It was his first of the year. How many of the Top 9 forwards had zero goals going into last night’s game?
man what a dope you are. have a blessed weekend
abols was on a diff line when he scored. not the 4th.
Doesn’t matter. Abols made the shot. He got 4th line minutes last night.

The Flyers got some goal production from spots where they needed it. A 4th liner (1st as a group), a Dman (5th as a group) and Foerster (1st in 7 games) put pucks in the net. They need more of that. On Nov 21, they have the 5th best win pct in the conference.

Whatever happened to the “Jonesy” hunter macdonald hype train. Don’t hear a peep about him at all; an afterthought. He was a very longshot to ever be a nhl level player. “Jonesy” is a clown. OR is it the flyers development rearing their ugly head once again. More “Jonesy” on this one.
to bad kyrou is small as my guess is they dont see him as a viable nhl dman. you see how long it took andrae to get minutes.
funny reading the d coach teaching them to block shots.
8. After back-to-back healthy scratches, word filtered that Ducks defenceman Pavel Mintyukov would like to be moved if he’s not going to play. He has fallen behind Jackson LaCombe and Olen Zellweger on the left side of Anaheim’s defence. Ian Moore, who had a strong camp, was elevated in Mintyukov’s place. This is the 10th overall pick in the 2022 draft, so Ducks GM Pat Verbeek will not be rushed into anything. Something to keep an eye on.
is there a deal to be made with the flyers?
“snowy” – another lame flyers nickname. good to see creating those “200 ft players”
hopefully they leave bump and the like in LHV all year unless they just tear it up.
Any Bonk or Risto update?
Or they are just incompetent ex-flyers over their heads feeding at the trough as long as they can. Say what you want about CHI but they did an actual rebuild instead of a rebrand, were honest with their fans, and now have one of the best young exciting centers in the league, lots of young possibly elite talent on rookie contracts and a clean cap sheet to market and build around. The Flyers have a 32 yr old coming off of multiple back surgeries in the middle of a very bad 8 year contract and multiple other 8 year contracts. Their crown jewel prospect at center is a projected 3rd line energy player who was overdrafted but he is a 200 ft player who lives in the weight room. Go Flyers?
The Flyers have done everything possible to avoid being in position to draft a Bedard type player. Hell it took Torts 3 years to realize that he couldn’t yell and berate the team into the playoffs and once he did, he flipped the team the middle finger and rode off into the sunset. He literally said he doesn’t want to coach a team in the position the Flyers are in which lends credence that either they are incompetent or delusional.
It’s been 3 drafts and the foundational pieces should be there and there are none. There is nobody in the system that is going to ride in and save the day at the top of the lineup for the next 10-15 years. They actively avoided drafting a potential franchise dman. Michkov and Martone may end up being good/great complementary pieces but that #1 center and #1 dman are giant black holes for the next GM to worry about.
Is Bonk even still alive? Him and Risto seem to be in witness protection.
Also Zegras and Drysdale both finish their 2nd contracts this year, they will both be playing for new 8 year contracts.
– They are def incompetent.
– Ex selke looks shot from an offensive standpoint. Only 4.5 more years.
– Torts quit. One overlooked aspect about Tocchet is that he quit on Vancouver as well. Took his ball and went home to ease into retirement.
– Flyers gonna build around their wingers. They will show the rest of the NHL how it is done.
– Amazes me after 2 games they moves zegras to the wing. I lied not amazing at all as it’s all about the short term making the playoffs.
– If they give JD anything more than 3 years at this time that would be funny. They will very likely give zegras 8 and not sure if that is wise just yet. Zegras holds a lot of cards now. Does he play it slow or go for the bag.
– Want to see how this MM stuff shakes out the rest of the year. That’s the main thing I am interested in.Flyer’s 4th line is embarrassing really. The fact ND plays any games is a joke. Still shows the dumb mentality of the flyer’s way. The 3 they use offer next to nothing.
Wonder what vet they bring in to solidify that 4th line. Tocchet will be in his ear.
The 4th line is really meaningless, it’s a huge nothing burger, they’re rebuilding, results at this point are finishing as low in the standings as they can.
4th line is Not meaningless. That is a typical flyers fan defending the orgin-eye-zation. If you have a good 4th line you don’t have to overplay others every single game. Thet get zero contribution from those 3 players. As said before, can’t even draft player to fill a competent 4th line. Rebuilding lol.
Just starting the rebuild is good stuff. Bad troll job on your part.

The rebuild plan is going to a tee!! They’re still slightly competitive enough to draw in ticket revenue, primarily a gate driven league, but still bad enough that they’ll be selling at the deadline to acquire more quality picks and hopefully get into a top three overall selection. It’s a great time to be a Flyer fan.

fans starting to wake a little.
I would try a forest – zegras – MM line. I doubt the coach will however. Think Tyson has more ot offer if playing with more skilled players.
No need not to try something diff and break up the cates line. See above.
Ex selke has been offering nothing offensively. Not a damn thing.
The 4th line is once again a disgrace. After all these years they still can’t ice a quality bottom line. Disgraceful. GH looks shot. Should have been moved long before his ext.
A smart organization would look into moving Dvorak. Since it is the flyers look for an ext before the trade deadline. Term will be the question. Probably 3 or 4 years. 4.5 per?
Send Russian #2 down to LHV if not going to play every game. Zero need for ND to play at all.
Seeler is another guy that should be moved. He is playing up in the lineup, not his fault, when he should be a bottom pair dman. Gives you what he has though that doesn’t cut it.
Good to see andrae get more minutes. Figure out if he has a future role.
Still laughable MM getting the least top 9 minutes.
hopefully not a trap game looking ahead to strong dallas team. every point matters to help secure that 8th spot. The flyers are a team I wouldn’t want to play in the playoffs. can’t say that about many other teams. When they get Risto back, who is built for playoff hockey, they will go on a run imo.
The flyers way is proven to be a failure and not successful. There is no other way to view it. The results are all the proof you need. yet the gold standard still goes down the same road.
Just imagine when Risto and Bonk come back.
Risto’s return will be a good thing but he’s missed so much time. It was supposed to be 6 months and the surgery was in March. We’re two months beyond that and no firm return date yet. He was the Flyers second best Dman last year. Assume he’s up to date on all the systems/watch tape stuff and his cardio is OK since it’s his arm that’s the issue.
Not expecting anything from Bonk this year, but what the hell did he do to himself? Upper body without surgery needed. It’s been two months plus. Everybody was commenting on the bulk gain. I hope he didn’t injure himself pushing things in the gym. Unforced error if that’s what happened.
Risto has missed 50% of his games since the start of 2023. He’s lost an entire season’s worth of games and not gotten above 20 pts since he joined the Flyers 5 years ago. He reinvented himself as a 3rd pair dman, when healthy, who now excels at not being asked to do a lot.
It’s great that Risto has reinvented himself as a defensive defenseman, when available, while still being paid to be the franchise/PP QB defenseman, for him. Him and his 9 PP points in 4 years. Ghost has had 90 PP points in that time frame and we wonder why the Flyers PP has sucked.
There has been no news on Risto or Bonk in a month. The last update on both was at least 5 to 6 weeks suggesting it could go on even longer. Do we have proof of life on either player? Very reminiscent of Ellis.
what is the bonk injury? no one knows. the local beats refuse to find out or are sworn to secrecy. gold standard orginization
