I think they may actually get caught watching with amazement........to think that Ghost as good as he has been may be the the "3rd" guy back on the Flyer's backend once Ivan and Travis arrive...words can't express how anxious i am waiting to see them on the lineup card.

flyercanuck Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's certainly nice for once, to think of our D and have a good times ahead feeling. It's something... as a Flyer fan, i've never experienced before. And no matter how old anyone here is, neither have they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Wow...the Flyers have defensemen that can actually skate. What a novel idea! Seriously...those are some slick/sick moves that Provorov put on that forward. Almost daring them saying ..."Catch me if you can!" It is going to be fun watching these guys grow together as a team. IMO, players such as Provorov, Sanheim, Ghost, and Konecny are all players that are going to shine/excel in Hakstol's system. Just need to be a bit more patient to shed some more dead weight from this team. The kid can score too! Watch below: I'm really excited about what Konecny can bring to the table. So far in 38 games he has 14 Goals and 46 Assists for 60 points with a (+ 11) and only 15 PIM. A talented scoring forward that can play either as a center or on the wing; plays with the bite and intensity of a guy who is willing to do anything to win a game. Possesses dynamic skating ability that allows him to accelerate rapidly with each step, incredible hockey sense, electrifying puckhandling skills, and a lightning release on his shot; when you put this skillset together with hard-nosed determination, proactiveness in all three zones, and a physical willingness to grind and persevere, you get a game-changer who can be extremely difficult to play against.

flyercanuck Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 @pilldoc One thing I'm really liking about Konecny is he's shooting more since the trade. He had 7 g in 29 games for Ottawa...he has 7 in 10 games with Sarnia. He's always had a good shot and a nice release, but was just an unselfish player and usually looked to pass. Glad to see him be a bit selfish. And since the WJs Provorov has been playing with a bit more of an edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So I see that the Wheaties dropped the first two games (at home no less) in their opening round series against the Oil Kings. So, Ivan could be done playing hockey as early as Sunday. Could the Flyers bring him in? Why not? He can't be worse than McDud or Shcultz can he be?

pilldoc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 @Podein25 Not opposed to it, but how does that work out contract wise? I confess I don't know all the ins and outs of contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I don't know all the ins and outs of contracts. He signed his ELC in the summer I believe, so he's under contract. If he was to play more than 9 games he would burn a year of his ELC. I think playoff games would count toward the 9. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary was eliminated while as of right now Provorov's team is still alive. Sanheim would make a very nice improvement over Manning i think. But i'm sure he will finish the season with the Phantoms first. Then if the Flyers make it he would be one of the black aces. Morin could get a look to once the AHL season is over too. During practices of course first. In fact Morin could be a 1st option or even Hagg because their ELC is already ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm not sure Sanheims first look at the NHL should be playoff hockey. Especially when we already have Ghost and Streit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Brandon had come back after dropping the opening 2 games at home. Will likely win the series. Game 5 today. The thing is, only Provorov is remotely ready to step into an NHL game IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he could certainly be better than Manning already. But i'm sure they wouldn't play him unless they knew it wouldn't overwhelm him.

But it would be a huge task for a kid to go from juniors to the NHL playoffs. But i can dream. You'd think someone like Hagg or Morin who have been in the AHL would get 1st crack.

Morin needs to be brought along very gradually...exactly like Hextalls doing. And Hagg was probably closer a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not having a good coach has hurt Robert and the whole damn Phantom team. I mean really Gordon's only help is Riley Cote??? Get the f**k outta here no wonder they are missing the playoffs again. Get a real coaching staff for these kids. You're investing the resources to draft these guys now. Get them some real coaches to help prepare them. I'd love to see Kimmo down there coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 @flyercanuck I know this is off topic i just clicked the 1st one. So since Red Deer is the host team for the Memorial Cup this year how would it work say if they were to win the WHL? Who/where would the 4th team come from?

flyer4ever Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Exciting times ahead, to be sure. Howe, MCrimmon, Crossman were not a bad 3some either.

But the future looks brighter than even that i think... Provorov-Sanheim Morin-Ghost Hagg-Meyers Willcox-Friedman Alt Man Flyers have ned been this deep. It will take some time till this all comes to fruition and not sure of all the pairs and stuff but man what is not to like about that D corp?????
