pilldoc Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Puck drops at 7 p.m. (ET) and will be aired on the Flyers Flagship Station, 97.5 The Fanatic. Rosters: TBD Edited September 27, 2023 by pilldoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This one looks like it went off the Flyer's stick didn't/can't see who it was. At least they finally scored. Cates to Poehling sound like a solid 3rd or 4th line maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) No Atkinson again - he hasn't played or practiced this week ... "LBI" ... It may be unrelated to his neck injury but it's the Flyers so who knows? It may be a season-ending injury ... by next week it will be a career-ending injury... Pardon the negativity it's just that the Flyers are not exactly known for expertise in dealing with injuries. I know they made some changes this year in the training and medical departments ... hopefully changes for the better.

Howie58 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) One goal on 39 shots. Great goaltending or weak shots? I didn't watch. I don't know what to say about Atkinson. This team was offensively challenged with him. It is going to be worse without him. Poehling will get more ice time with us than his prior teams, with some payoff. Keep fingers crossed. I guess both goalies played well, with Ersson getting a slight edge from what I've read.

Keep fingers crossed. Yep that’s about the size of it, fingers crossed. A Montreal 1R pick back in 2017, alternated years with the Habs and their AHL affiliate until last year when he played 53 games for the Pens. Now for better or worse he’s in the O&B. He turns 25 in January. Is he a diamond in the rough or a perennial AHLer? I guess we’ll find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really part of the "big picture" anyway?.... serious question. I forgot what he is signed for and what we expect him to be playing like in 2-3 years....

Would be nice to get something from him "in the room" from a leadership perspective and at the trade deadline to bolster the rebuild. But he's got to actually play to do either of those things. Of course, the guy we traded for him is now a former Coyote coaching Jaromir Jagr so we've got that going for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atkinson isn’t part of the long-term, five-years-down-the-road future but that doesn’t make him irrelevant today. What makes him irrelevant is that evidently he’s still not ready to practice and play the game. Atkinson knows Tortorella well and Tortorella was probably counting on him to be a trusted voice in the room, maybe smooth out some of Tortorella’s abrasive personality. Atkinson could be invaluable for the Flyers … if he ever gets back on the ice that is. Edited September 28, 2023 by GratefulFlyers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he just hadn't been cleared to play yet. He has now. Supposed to play this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Some very nice goals scored last night. What save to go along with it all. Solid last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Great to see Farabee beat last year's Vezina winner - and beat him clean. Heads up play picking off the Bs pass in the N zone. I like his celebration - he didn't celebrate he looked like "just part of the job" - good stuff. edit: I think the Bs announcers have a point on Frost's SO goal...I think it's time the league takes @aziz's suggestion and put a defender 10 or 12 steps behind the shooter. The SO is bad enough this lateral near-dead-stop nonsense makes it even more silly. Edited September 30, 2023 by GratefulFlyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
