@CanadianFlyer88 — Frost wasn’t given the assist on Belpedio’s goal.

0 points in 5 games. So much for being an offensive player! (said on Twitter somewhere)

Flyers are more fun to watch this year than previous years. For me it’s the influx of young talent that has actually been helping the club….Farabee, Brink, Forester, Frost, Zamula, York, Tippett… I turn the games on to watch these guys mostly. I mean TK, Sanheim and Couts are great and they are fun to watch but we know what they are capable of. I like Cates too, but he doesn’t have the offensive upside as the other guys.

A few notes on the game:
-Good to see Ersson stand up and play well for the most part. The one goal was weak and rebound control wasn’t great early, but overall very solid performance.
-the TK-Frost-Foerster line is playing well. TK and Frost are a match made in heaven. They need to stick together.
-After watching Frost over the last 3 games, it’s crazy that anyone could defend his scratching for 6 games…He’s too good to be kept out for that long.
-Nothing against Cates, but last night it was clear how important Couts is to the ‘top’ line wingers of Tippett, Atkinson. They didn’t play poorly, but they were the least effective line
-Zamula, who I thought has been poor over the last few, was better tonight. To be expected, but it’s nice to see him get ice time
-that Poehling pass was sick

I hold no false illusions that this team is actually one of the best teams in the league, but right now they are playing well. I worry longterm about their plans, but F it. For the time being, I’ll watch some of the younger players progress

I cant bring myself watching this team anymore. I lost sleep over 20 years because i wanted to see the flyers. Sometimes i dont slept at all before going back to work when the flyers was on a westcoast trip. They have killed all my interest and my passion for the game.

I would love to take the same approach as you. But i tried it a few times and got bored after 10 minutes of hockey. Baseball of all Sports.... is now more entertaining for me..... its just sad!

They had 10 players 25 and under, plus Sanheim (27), and TK (26) in the lineup last night.
The reason they're playing young players is they have young players worth playing. It's that simple.
They have three 1st rd picks in the pipeline, plus a bunch of other prospects.

I think Briere will have to make deals at some point, he has 10 guys worthy of a top 9 role, Gauthier on the way, Rizzo might turn pro, and a couple Phantoms will probably make a case for a promotion by spring.

Staal (36), Couturier (29) and Risto (29) would be playing every game if they weren’t hurt.

Risto would replace Belpedio, Staal/Seeler, so Couts is the only one who'd bench a younger player - and he ain't going nowhere.

Staal surprised me on the Edge stats, he's been one of the faster Flyer D-men, might have some TDL value if he comes back healthy.

The flyers at least have flyers forward talent to compete. Of course they need Michkov to be the future Batman but at least they have Robin's and Alfred's instead of Aunt Mae's.

Defense long way to go. But Walker been a nice surprise.

Sanheim and the forwards are ruining the tank

I can't believe they changed that to unassisted.

I saw that and said the same thing…

Unless you think the defender purposefully passed it to Belpedio

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Did you turn off the TV mid-fight in disgust & apologize to Sabres fans?

Alright there bitch cakes. Brush the sand out of you mangina. What I said was truth. Hathaway fought a guy who has had 5 career fights and yes, Tortorella eats that shit up.

Sending Brink to the AHL helps the tank

Still think Staal and Seeler aren’t In The same line up lol

If only there was pre of to look back on

 

[GapToothedWonder]

why are you in a flyers forum then go somewhere else

Oh thank god you signed up a couple days ago to police this sort of thing.

 

[Devonator]

Billy Barber should have won it. He was the best rookie his rookie year, but the powers that decide that stuff thought the Rangers Steve Vickers should win it I guess because it was better for the league to have a New York player win it than someone from another city?

I do remember that that Calder was somewhat controversial....Barber certainly was as good as Vickers and certainly in the long run was.

 

[Striiker]

Ghost should have won the Calder. Instead they gave it to a 43 year old “rookie”.

Staal will not replace Seeler.
