To add. MM is off to a slow start. it happens. not a big deal.
Five points in his last 6 games for MM. Trending in the right direction. Konecny started slow but picked up quicker. He’s got 12 points in his last 11 games and is a +4. The team is 6-3-1 in their last 10. There are a couple scoring issues but Michkov, or even Tippett aren’t among them.
tippet should be moved 100%. they have s surplus of wingers. get his contract off the books. he is on another long pointless streak. they won’t miss him 1 bit. now I do not expect them to trade him sadly.
For MM not even about the points. stop trying to make him something he is not. god fn forbid they utilize his strengths.
To add. MM is off to a slow start. it happens. not a big deal. the fact he is getting the least number of minutes out of the top 9 forwards is plain dumb. there is no excuse for it at this stage. Tippet gets free reign.
russian #2 might as well go back to aHL to get top minutes. he will not get an opportunity at this time on the flyers. even the ahl scrub call ups get more time and move up the lineup.
why they refuse to keep zegras and MM together shows an out of touch coach. just remember what MM said over the summer about the dump and chase.
“Meanwhile, within the locker room and on the ice, players have hold one another — and themselves — accountable so far when they don’t play up to expectations.”
are you saying they didn’t do that with the prior coach? thought the “room” was the best it ever was previously? more culture nonsense.
at the end of the day the flyers, in time, will have to make a choice. MM or tocchet. I have zero doubt it will come down to that decision.
Ace of a play by Michkov, burning a pretty good Dman in Sanderson. Nice first shot from Zegras and Drysdale got the bounce for the other goal. One thing about Zegras, he never really vanishes in games. He’s noticeable even when things aren’t going great. The forwards haven’t looked quite right with Foerster out. One guy going down shouldn’t have that kind of effect on a team, but it has. Hopefully, he can go Wednesday. Despite some issues here and there, the Flyers are still in a playoff spot on November 9.
maybe they can raise another moral victory banner.
TK is a loser. Tippet should have never been given 8 years. horrible contract.
dvorak will get 3/4 years at 4.5 per. another flyers special. he “wants” to be here.
So do they try and extend Brink? From an on ice performance standpoint makes sense. However, Zegras is adding to the glut of wingers because the HC seems determined not to allow him to be a full time center. The extensions of TK and Tippett were they the right move? TK’s has a NTC and Tippett has a limited no trade this summer. I guess they could make Martone “earn it” next season by starting him in the AHL or on the 4th line. Did I mention Grebenkin is a unique forward who wins board battles at a rate that only Foerster can match.
Full credit to the top 4 Dmen carrying the load. Would be nice to use some of these wingers and get a Dman who can move Seeler down to the 3rd pair. I am not hopeful they can solve the center problem other then continue to draft them and hope to develop. Players like Eichel only become available under extraordinary circumstances. That is not a viable plan.
no fn way to both.
flyers have no plan. their big free agency plan has been blown up. Who will they sign as the next hayes.
What moxey shown by this team. ND was the catalyst behind this win. That fight energized the team.
GH despite with zero points and minus 7 the intangibles he offers can’t be matched. Offers so much value.
Speaks volumes on the organization when Abols and Gaucher are the 2 guys in the lineup. Embarrassing. 4th line is still a joke after all these years. Refuse to get with the times.
Dvorak with 23 minutes. That is criminal. Please re-sign him for 3 or 4 years. The seeler special.
Brink looking good. His all-around game has improved by leaps and bounds.
Andrea with 10 minutes. Why bother. Can’t continue to play your bottom pair 10/11 minutes when your top 2 pairs are playing above their pay grade.
God forbid you sell high on Tippet.
Take that 2 goal game out and ex selke has nada. 6 of his 9 points were in 2 games.
Refuses to play Russian #2.
Refuses to play MM and Zegras for an extended period. Tyson- Zegras- MM is what I would try, or Grebenkin.
The coach either doe not like MM and his style of play or is clueless about what to do with him. Maybe both. Wonder if he asks out after the season if this continues.
tocchet is torts with just better communication skills.
Well, the Flyers are certainly a team LA needs to call. Considering this is Kopitar’s last season and if they want any chance to finally go thru EDM, I would expect the Kings would be looking for a scoring forward. Need to pull off another Zegras trade because the spending spree in the summer of ’26 in free agency is already a bust.
thing is danny boy “loves” his roster. Making an actually hockey trade is difficult on his end.
keep in mind they want to make the playoffs. doubt move anyone unless a player who can play right now comes back in any deal. don’t see the flyers doing much while “in” the playoff race. if anything, they made trade a pick/prospect to improve. many teams want to add. We shall see if danny boy is smart and/or shrewd. sham they ould have zero interest in moving ex selke. with so many teams needing a center he may have inflated value.
