Couturier reported that he felt fine physically after the game. The Devils scored four goals in the game’s first 5 minutes, 55 seconds against Flyers goalie Cal Petersen. Flyers goalie Felix Sandstrom played the third period and allowed one goal. Fourteen of the Flyers’ 20 players were Philadelphia draft choices, including Oliver Bonk and Denver Barkey from the 2023 draft. Forwards: Farabee – Couturier – Brink Lycksell – Frost – Foerster Brown – Barkey – Allison Furry – Desnoyers – Tuomaala Defensemen: York – Walker Seeler – Bonk Andrae – Grans Goaltenders: Petersen Sandstrom Most of know that Petersen is Bantha Fodder and will probably be sent to LHV or given is out flat out released (if that is possible).

Popular Post radoran Posted September 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2023 This was a great game, with great effort from all of the great players. Everyone looked great and they played really well. Because of the great coaching, all of these great players will inevitably reach the peak of their potential and be the best possible players they can be. Everything is just great. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Cal Petersen the rest of the year and trade Hart faster than you can say Macklin Celebrini!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I thought it was great because it exposed just how disorganized this club is with regards to building a team. They don't have enough goal scorers, offensively gifted players and the defense is a mess and it's not going to get better anytime soon, especially with Brad Shaw as the coach. There were a few positives though. Couturier playing was good to see. He can still win draws and once he gets his game legs back, he'll be a force again. Frost also played well and quite honestly, should have had three or four points if he had a legit finisher on his wings. The defense scares the absolute hell out of me and Brad Shaw gives me legit nightmares that he doesn't know how to develop defensemen. Part of me wishes a guy like John Stevens would have been brought back because he knows player development. That is his strength. Cal Peterson is done. He'll never play another game at the NHL level again. Either bury him in the minors or buy him out.

Brewin Flames Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I love the positive attitude of flyer fans after the first pre-season game, although i can think of a few fans who may slightly disagree...... .Keep yer heads up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll own up to it. I fully plan on the club being bad for a few years. All what I care about is if there's effort and if they're continually getting better. Last night was a good example of just how much of a mess Briere has on his hands getting this straightened out. Good luck to him because there's going to be A LOT of long nights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I thought Frost was one of the worst on the team. Lacked complete confidence...to me it seemed like the puck bobbled too much on his stick, didn't have the proper weight on his passes. Hope its just me seeing things wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyksell flubbed at least three sure fire goals and that knocked the wind out of Frost. I still don't understand why they removed Foerster from the line when they were all playing well.

Either bury him in the minors or buy him out. He'll be with some bottom feeding organization in a perpetual rebuild with cap space to burn to take on his contract for young talent and draft picks. I mean, he'll be with a legendary organization with a winning tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
