  1. Can they get Shaq and Barkley to do intermissions. I might not change the channel during intermissions. The NHL needs some guys that are entertaining like Basketball.
  2. He wouldn't stabilize his game behind this defense. Start over for next year.
  3. (155) Full Connor Bedard WHL Rookie Season Highlights - YouTube
  4. We could try suck to get Connor Bedard. 1.87 points per game as a 16 year old. Mcdavid was 1.05 per game at his age. Connor Bedard: A Generational Talent (thehockeywriters.com) Actually the way they look right now we might not be far off from him.
  5. The one thing with Patrick is he looks scared on the ice. Like don't touch me scared. It honestly looks like he doesn't enjoy playing hockey anymore. I could be wrong but that's his body language right now.
  6. Nolan Patrick won't be on the Flyers next year. I wouldn't surprised if Fletcher tries to do big move this summer. If the Bluejackets are rebuilding I do whatever it takes to get Seth Jones.
  7. I haven't read all the comments but I'll give my two cents. One thing I have learned about the cap world by watching a team like the Oilers for the last 10 years is you can't trade your way out of bad situation. All you get is bad players for bad players or bad contracts for bad contracts. Now with the flat cap it is going to be worse. Right now the Flyers have to make a decision of on which way they want to go. Keep treading water or deal some guys like Laughton and Raffle at the deadline and look to next year. Lets face it this team is not built for AV's system. You have to be fast and you have to want to block shots. That's the one thing AV's teams have always done is block a ton of shots. When he coached Vancouver you could barley get a shot to the net half the time. It was really frustrating to watch. This team doesn't sacrifice their body a whole lot. At least not this year. Last year they did a better job. You can hope that Seattle would want to pick up Jake or Ghost but it's highly doubtful. One thing I can be certain the Flyers won't be losing an impact player in the expansion draft. There's going to be some teams in the division that will. Until the Flyers get a difference maker, a "star" player we will be stuck with the same average team. All the top teams have a guy that scares you when he's one the ice. The Flyers haven't had that since Lindros. I don't know that the answer is but when someone like myself a hard core Flyers fan since I was 4 switches to baseball to watch this time of year I can't imagine what other people are doing.

  9. Um he pulled the guys hair. It's an automatic fine. Watch the replay.
  10. That right there is a player embarrassing an official. And people wonder why there are make up calls. If I was an official and looked at the replay I would be pissed. There's literally nothing there to call. There wasn't even any force to do any damage even if the stick butt did hit him.
  11. Kid didn't turtle I'll give him that. I tried to fight a guy 6'8 once. He was my roomate in college. Thank god he just shoved away and told me to chill. I would have been in so much trouble.
  12. If people are wondering why Morin was looking for a fight? The kid is looking to save his NHL career. He needs to do something. When your fighting for a spot you do what you have to do to get noticed. Most guys would have fought him earlier in the game. The Rangers don't really have a guy to give him that. So you do what you gotta do.
  13. For the first time in a long long time I stopped watching after the first period. Can't even remember the last time I shut off a game. I've been in kind of a twitter argument with one of the Flyers media. I told him two weeks ago the Flyers have checked out. He keeps saying they haven't. I remind him after every game like last night. I've coached enough teams to know when a team has checked out. Doesn't matter what level. I coached a team two years ago. I knew with 5-7 games left in the season our team had left the building. It didn't matter what I said or did in practice. Nothing changed. There was no compete level by at least 60% of our team. When that happens your done. You can tell how engaged a team is just by their reaction in a scrum. When theirs no push back there's issues.
  14. I do believe he got fined for pulling his hair. Watch closely after the second punch he grabs hand full of the guys hair.
  15. I've been saying this since the bubble. There's is something really wrong with this team. Most nights they don't look interested in playing. There was a couple plays they did last night that I would lose my mind on my U15 team if they did what the Flyers were doing. I've never seen a team pass it right to the opposing team more than the Flyers do. Hayes throwing the puck onto Ghost's stick with 6 seconds left in the period. Just bat it in the corner. Gustafson has to be one of the worse D men in his own end I have ever seen.
  16. Anyone notice Hart changed gear brands this year? I would have never even noticed until my kid pointed it out. He was always with CCM now he's with TRUE. Who knows with goalie's maybe that has something to do with his struggles.
  17. They don't have the type of talent needed to play AV's system. You need speed and size to play his system. The Flyers have some size but I don't know about the speed. Can someone tell me what happened to TK. Kid has such skill but has been missing in action for a year now. There's got to be something going on there.
  18. What sucks this year is somehow the Flyers will drop into the lottery and no one will know who to pick because no body is playing this year. Seems about right for the Flyers. Every time they suck it's a crappy draft year.
  19. Wasn't it the last time the Flyer's played a team(Devils) with players on the Covid list half the team got Covid afterwards?
  20. That's exactly what the penquins did as well as the capitals. They had Scotty Upshall on the radio the other day. He said when he played under Tippet he said on the power play if they won the draw the were suppose to get a shot on net within 3-5 seconds of winning the draw. It makes the defenders have to turn their backs to the D men and cause's chaos with the defenders. Actually think it makes sense. And yes Hayes looks like he's somewhere else most nights. Like not even engaged in the game.
  21. Those 5 guys will not be getting much more than what they are making now. Hart will get a bridge deal. Giroux's contract will be up when Coot's new contract will begin. My guess is I can see Vorachek being left unprotected in the expansion draft or be bought out as some point. Flat cap for the next three years is what they are saying. There's not going to be a lot of player movement is my prediction. Guys will get what they can get. The best players always get their money it's the NAK's and the Laughton's that will suffer.
  22. If you watch next game you'll notice Ghost's flat speed is not very good. You will rarely see him track down a player who has a step on him. He looks like he's skating fast because he has a lot of upper body movement but he's really not. I give Sanheim and Myers a bit of a pass because they are both still pretty green NHL defensemen. They both were a lot better last year though when Niskanen was taking up 20 plus minutes a night. That Vet D man can make all the difference to a younger guy. I would love the Flyers to take a run at Ristolainen. He's still young but he sure plays a tough game. He hits everything around him. Right shot to. I never realized how many kids that play D are left handed until my kid started playing D.
  23. Sorry to burst your bubble but Coots will be a Flyer for long time. Bet he gets 7-8 years. In the off season.
  24. The give and go goal was more on Lindblom then anybody. He was so afraid to touch the puck because it was offside he let them have an easy out. He touches the puck the plays dead or at least put pressure on the Ranger player there's no way they get out of the zone that easy. Although those two D men have been bad no one is even close to as bad as Ghost defensively. He's a train wreck and doesn't have to the foot speed to correct his mistakes. Then add the fact that he's as soft as a pillow in front of the net it's not good.
  25. I think it's going to take Lindblom a long time to regain his form. Rightfully so. But he looks like a fraction of his old self.
