Johnson needs to be in the box with Staal making popcorn. Attard and Ginning played well enough that they should still be up and playing. Go with 7 dmen and pull Nic D. Unless you are playing a team where he is needed. Caveat, I want him on the ice against the Isles for the specific reason of stomping Fox into oblivion.
I like his skating and puck handling ability even if it is a small example size. The first deflection goal was unstoppable and he still got a piece of it. The OT goal was on the guy who handcuffed Frost with a slow behind pass. I would give Errson the next game off and see how he does with a real start. I am not anti Errson but the guy needs a rest.
Refs win! Refs win! Sometimes it is just beyond comprehension how they are allowed to make so many calls or noncalls in a game to get their desired outcome. Even Boucher is harping about it and he never complains.
I understand the call on the offsides, don’t like it but it was. The kicking in the goal while your are jousting with 2 players was ludicrous. Hathaway apparently is a ballet star with innate balance……
Hoping for a better 3rd. 2nd period was much better with chances but no finish. I am tired of the officials letting the habs start **** and not have to answer for it. The Tippett penalty was ridiculous…..Players need to be able to police themselves at least to some degree.
Brindy was my favorite Flyer ever. Was too young to understand Bobby Clark’s play and accomplishments to fully appreciate them at the time. Rod was a warrior and still is. If not for Lindros , I personally think Rod would have stayed a Flyer. Behind the scenes issues and Lindros being the appointed god led to him going to Carolina. I was extremely happy to watch Brindy raise the cup even though it was with another team.
@CoachX makes me think of that Monty Python sketch and the ministry of arguments…. I enjoy the give and take around here myself. This place damn sure ain’t an echo chamber.
Carter and Richards I give you. My point is this team doesn’t predicate team building through hoarding of picks. They have always traded away multiple picks for a win now mentality. Hextall actually tried to do it but was hamstrung by the good ole boys going oh look Shiny!
also how many of those you named above were traded away before you had a real chance to build the team around them with those “hoarded” picks.
Which team are you accusing of prospect hoarding? If is the Flyers I am puzzled to say the least…..Briere/Pronger/Hatcher/Coffee/Primeau/Vorachek/Bryzgalov/Vanbiesbrouk just to name a few off the top of my head. Betterment of this team thru the draft has been anything but the Flyers the last 3 decades……
I kept waiting for someone to return the favor on that cheap shot. I think they play the rags one more time this season. I will be looking forward to that game.

If this article is correct, it doesn’t matter if he is assigned to the Flyers or not it still burns a year off his ELC. If that is the case, why assign him to the Phantoms? Cap hit? Roster size?
I can see them starting a win streak if they continue to play Ginning and Attard and Errson. I think it was you that posted in the other thread that Kolosov was en route to the US and I would seriously use him as a b/u for Errson through the rest of the season if they can take care of all of the paperwork to make it happen.
