AJgoal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Rubtsov may or may not make it, but he looked much less like the bust I was worried he would be after his poor year last year. Given some AHL time, he might become something. Don't think it will be here, though. Just no room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's still too soon to call he just turned 20 in June and hasn't had anytime in the AHL we'll ask this again in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looks like many of the big guns will be in the lineup tonight according to Meltzer. Giroux, Voracek, JVR, Patrick, Lindblom, Provorov and Ghost. Also, Myers, Vorobyev, and Aube-Kubel. We might see something like JVR/Patrick/Voracek Giroux/Vorobyev/NAK Edit: According to the Phantoms page, no Giroux tonight. http://www.phantomshockey.com/flyers-valley-roster-announcement/ Full roster will be released later today.

brelic Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 That's pretty interesting re: Knight. So either Hakstol is just saying the right things, or they really are willing to have the best players fill the roster spots and deal with the fallout. That could include waiving/moving guys like Raffl, Weise, Lehtera. Do you guys think they would do that? I can see waiving Weise OR Lehtera (but not both). I can't see them getting rid of Raffl - though I'd be ok with him as a 13th. Anyway, it's a good problem to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Knight is going to be his new Vandevelde since he too played for Hak at North Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looks like tonight's lines will be - van Riemsdyk-Patrick-Konecny Lindblom-Vorobyev-Voracek Raffl-Weal-Twarynski Leier-Lehtera-Weise Defensemen in practice were Provorov, Ghost, Hagg, Gudas, Myers, and Friedman.

AJgoal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Charlie also noted that that leaves nine d-men in camp: Provorov, Ghost, Gudas, Hagg, Folin, Sanheim (injured), MacDonald (injured), Myers, and Friedman. Friedman is unlikely to stick, so it seems as if Myers has indeed made at least the opening night roster. Whether he sticks once MacDonald is healthy is another story. I was a bit worried that they'd keep Brennan up given his point production so far. At this point, I feel pretty good about the bottom six. Vorobyev seems to have grabbed the 3C lead and made it his to lose. That leaves five spots for Raffl, Laughton, Weal (my preferred 4th line barring surprises by:) Twarynski, NAK, Leier, Weise, and Lehtera. I just don't see how one of Weise or Lehtera isn't waived at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Neuvirth hurt: @BillMetzer - Neuvirth was bent over, stretching groin for a long time, slammed stick and walked off, spoke briefly to Sal Raffa and Jim McCrossin. He is now leaving the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 HAKSTOL: "No, today if Neuvy is unable to go we'll provide a different and extra opportunity, so no it doesn't change the mindset. Neuvy was scheduled to start - if he does not, then that provides an extra opportunity for Carter tonight." "Stolie has had a really good camp and has earned and deserved time, so we will split it in some way... That's a credit to him. There are areas that you watch and there's a little bit of rust there, but he's done a pretty good job of working through that and, again, that would be the domino. He's a guy that wasn't going to be in tonight that would get extra time and has an opportunity to go out and show more." PROJECTED LINES AT PRACTICE: 25 James van Riemsdyk - 19 Nolan Patrick - 11 Travis Konecny 54 Oskar Lindblom - 46 Mikhail Vorobyev - 93 Jakub Voracek 12 Michael Raffl - 40 Jordan Weal - 81 Carsen Twarynski 21 Tayor Leier- 15 Jori Lehterä - 22 Dale Weise 9 Ivan Provorov - 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 8 Robert Hägg - 61 Philippe Myers 3 Radko Gudas - 59 Mark Friedman 30 Michael Neuvirth / 79 Carter Hart / 41 Anthony Stolarz https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/pre-game-flyers-islanders-part-5--philadelphia-flyers/c-300303888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Stolarz kinda blew it on that penalty. Not a great decision. Vorobyev has made the team as 3C. I mean, it's clear, right? Voracek was up to his old antics again. The worst best 85 point guy in the league! Hart was solid, Myers played well, Gudas was physical, Twarynski was invisible. Friedman had a rough night. Kind of an up and down game, and that 4th line actually played well. But man, I just don't want to see that line in the season lol. Are we finally done with the Islanders?? I feel like I'm watching their training camp too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I say you go ahead and waive Stolie now so you can sneak him through waivers and then when the season starts he can just backup Elliott and then Hart can be sent down to start for the Phantoms. Or Ron could wait till the other team's roster is set more and let him and Elliott split the last 3 games and Hart can get a majority of the time in net for the Phantoms for their preseason then waive Stolie after the last game and still let him start the season backing up Elliott. Just not sure who on Reading will be called up to backup Hart. And on the future of the club: A testament of how good Ron has done with his time at a GM look at how deep this team/organization is and they are about to start the NHL season with over 10 million in cap space!!!!!!!! That is right 10 million in cap space!!!!!!! HOLY SH IT!!!!! When has that ever happened??? This gives Ron a lot of room if he feels like to roll the dice on a big maybe short term player for a deep playoff push later in the year if he feels like they are close....guess we'll see.
