This is going to blow your mind CX. I was going to wait some more - - after waiting 3 days - - but it seems like only P25, and you, are playing. P25 got 2 of 4. CX got 2 of 4. Correct answers are: In a skills competition, what players from the Flyers' roster of this past season would win - 1) fastest skater? Nick Aube-Kubel 2) shooting accuracy? Morgan Frost 3) hardest shot? Phil Myers 4) breakaway skill? Claude Giroux (The correct answers are documented in an article from June 2020.) I don't expect anyone to get all 4. Impossible.

Zzeke Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) @CoachX In this video, you can see how quick NAK is. His acceleration, his ability to change direction so easily, and overall his grit and forechecking is incredible for a player of his stature.

Zzeke Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 NHL Power Rankings: The top 25 second year players for this season By Adam Gretz Pro Hockey Talk NBC Sports Dec 14, 2020, 2:29 PM EST This is not a ranking of the best rookies from a year ago, or even necessarily a list of who will have the best overall career. This is simply a projection as to which rookies from 2019-20 are going to have the best performance this season. 14. Joel Farabee, Philadelphia Flyers. A very strong rookie season and impressive postseason for the Flyers. Farabee has top-line potential and could be in line for a breakout year. 18. Philippe Myers, Philadelphia Flyers. He was one of the Flyers’ most effective defenders a year ago and should get an even bigger role this season following the retirement of Matt Niskanen.

Zzeke Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 In the news today - the latest on back-to-play: Sources: NHL teams to play home games in own buildings this season By Adrian Dater Colorado Hockey Now December 15, 2020 Mind you, this is not official yet. Nothing with the NHL’s 2020-21 regular season is official yet. But Colorado Hockey Now can report this with good faith: Even though the likelihood of fans being in the stands is next to zero, NHL teams will play their regular-season home games in their own buildings. The concept of any “hub cities”, like there were in the playoffs, is not on the drawing board anymore, NHL sources tell me. Sources also tell Colorado Hockey Now that the travel will only be to games within a team’s division, however. [In a schedule with the temporary East Division – expected to be 56 games – our Flyers will play NJD, NYR, NYI, Bos, Buf, Wash, Ptbg.] The schedule is not set just yet with regard to every opponent. Could there be a special one-off type of game played, say, outdoors, between teams from other divisions or conferences? Sources say that’s still possible. Because of the new vaccines against the coronavirus, the league feels confident it can execute a regular season in which teams travel from city to city, though the precautions are still expected to be lengthy and formidable. The NHL remains adamant, however, that it will not seek to jump the queue in obtaining vaccinations ahead of others, such as hospital workers, the elderly and first responders. It is highly unlikely that fans will be in the stands, at least at the start of the regular season, which still has a Jan. 13 target date. Could there be some fans, though, given that the NFL, MLS and MLB all have allowed a limited number in the building? That question is still essentially on a day-to-day basis. No one really knows what the landscape might look, say, two months from now with regard to the virus. The league knows it will take another financial hit this season, but feels very optimistic that things will be back to normal for the 2021-22 season.

Zzeke Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Reports on the 4 Flyers' players from Sweden: OR reported that Linus Sandin is leaving Sweden and will arrive at the Flyers Training Facility soon (post above). Also, Sam Carchidi reported this afternoon - Defenseman Robert Hagg and his best friend on the team, left winger Oskar Lindblom, are the latest Flyers to arrive in the area, complete their quarantines, and start working out at the club’s Voorhees practice facility. They both traveled on separate flights from Sweden, and in the coming days, more teammates are expected to arrive as the start of training camp approaches. The NHL hopes to open camps Jan. 3 and start the season Jan. 13. Hagg said Lindblom has been “working his butt off” in the offseason to get ready for the season. The two live about an hour away from each other in Sweden, “but we saw each four or five times this [offseason] and went on some road trips together. It’s been a lot of fun.” As for Hagg, based on the way he was used over Shayne Gostisbehere in the playoffs, he appears to have a good shot to be in the regular defensive rotation. Hagg, 25, is coming off another quietly efficient season, one in which he had 13 points in 49 games, had a plus-14 rating, and was the Flyers’ most physical defenseman. The 6-foot-2, 204-pound Hagg led the Flyers in hits (136) and was fourth in blocked shots (79) despite playing in only 49 games. Hagg, a second-round selection in the 2013 draft, said he is not taking his spot in the lineup for granted. We have a pretty stacked D corps, and now we have Erik [Gustafsson] here, too. He’s another Swede, so it’s really fun for me.” In the offseason, Hagg worked out in Sweden with Gustaffson — something they have done during the last two years — and Flyers prospect Linus Sandin, a promising right winger who has been playing in the Swedish Hockey League and is expected to arrive in the area next week. Hagg called Gutsafason a smooth puck mover and offensive defenseman whose “hockey IQ is on another level.” Edited December 16, 2020 by Zzeke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Flyers biggest mistakes was not resigning him....... Hated him as a Pen (though I respected his talent) BUT loved him as a Flyer! Had no idea he was still playing in Europe... thanks for the info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
