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.
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.
go flyers. brick by brick. keep slurping.
any early thoughts for when they acquire dylan mccalrath?
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.

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.
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!
rookie russian looks solid. would loo into finding a way to get him more minutes.
dvorak playing 1st line minutes again is comical.
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?
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.
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.

at what point does Dahlen and Thompson ask out of buffalo? hoe they want to still play there is mind boggling.
It would be criminal if Briere is not calling Adams everyday and think about a massive swing with a trade. Whatever it takes to get Dahlie, Thompson or even Power. I really do think it is possible to get Dahlin or Power. It will cost a lot, but do not over value the talent in this organization. I just believe it will be harder to pry Thompson out of those 3 players.
dont think the flyers have what it takes to get dahlen or tage. tage has a NMC so he aint waving to come buffalo south. also do not think they have any interest in moving those 2 currently. maybe a new GM goes in a diff direction.
power can be had imo. flyers more likely acquire samuelson…..

no shock seeing zamula out after spouting off. would have preferred juulson sit.
coach feeling ok with no ND as thought he was “needed” against teams like the panthers.
what will be the new slogan next year? this organization must laugh their ass off behind closed doors at flyers fans.
a Nice nonbiased read. Falls on both parties. Flyers haven’t helped him improve. He also hasn’t taken that step. We all know the flyers defense development history so to me more on the organization. Also keep in mind he was a non-drafted player and maybe there just isn’t much there.
I expect him to be traded within the next 2 weeks. Flyers don’t like disgruntles players. Will hurt the “room” and “culture”.
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.
his handling of MM will bear watching. for hinm to have less minutes than all the top 9 forwards is comical. needs to buy into “flyers” hockey.
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.
good start for kaplan after a lackluster cpollegeoate career. never took that next step.
good start for the goalie as well.
sooner flyers realize hunter mac is not an nhl caliber dman the better. though the big hype they created has subsided.
I hope eventually we see Grebenkin on the PP as a net front presence. Not sure how Briere is going to resolve this glut at wing, but if the game plan is to be a puck possession team, going to need wingers who can constantly win along the boards and protect the puck. Grebenkin and Foerster are the two best options. Maybe Grebenkin gets more then 11 shifts if the team stops taking dumb penalties, just need to find a way to get him more shifts.
makes zero sense to keep both the russian and the jett if going to give them shit minutes. flyers just have the wrong approach. all about the current day and results.
excluding the 4th line, MM has the lowest TOI among the forwards. going to be something to watch going forward with the most overpaid coach in the game.
0 shots so far
Through 2 complete games. Drysdale has 0 SOG, 0 points, -1. I can see the Makar comparison.
nah more like quinn hughes
sanheim, drafted by ronald hextall, is the flyers best dman. in 10 years they have york and nothing else to show from their drafts on defense
