Bye week is what it is. Maybe one of the 3 injured goalies can get healthy enough so that they can waive McKenna.

Lehtera needs to finger Weise and AMac as his suppliers.

I am all for resigning Elliott. I think he would be a great guy to pair with Hart next year. I hope Stolarz comes back relatively soon (heard it could be around the bye week) and he gets more time to play in the NHL. It seems more and more likely his Flyers career ends with him getting claimed on waivers, but hopefully he stays as the "3rd" goalie next year.
I think the new brass has reshuffled the goalie depth chart and I would bet this is Lyon's last year with the organ-I-zation. Neuvirth can be launched into the sun during a special 1 hour live cable TV event hosted by Nick Cannon.
edit: actually just saw they sent Stolarz to LHV for conditioning

I thought you were going in a way different direction with this...

Would like to see Elliott come back and finish this season before I'd even consider re-signing him. Also, even if he does finish the season, if he's going to need any kind of off season surgery, I'll take a pass.

It's only been 2 months. Let's give him another 2 and maybe we will see 1 skater prospect promoted.

This is such a terrible idea.
It's pretty clear that he has reached the "breaking down" phase, much like biodegradable garbage.
Let's sign a veteran back-up for Hart that isn't a constant risk of injury.

I think Lyon may end up being that backup, since he returned to LHV he's been playing very well, if he finishes the year strong he has the inside track.
I mean if Hart is your starter, the kid has shown himself to be very durable, playing almost 70 games a year, and has a style that's conducive to a heavy work load (relies on positioning, not acrobats).
So we're talking 20-25 starts a year for a backup goalie, that eliminates the top veterans who'll want a bigger role and bigger money.
At that point, if you're talking a meh veteran, why not give Lyon a shot while the young goalies work their way through the system.
Elliott just isn't reliable health wise anymore, so you would have to have a solid starter at LHV who can pass through waivers (a real issue as Toronto discovered this year).

I usually save it for the final regular season game but with the upcoming break it was apropos.

Another team with an excellent coach playing better than predicted. Interesting.

MTL is fast as hell and actually check and have the players to do it. Not surprizing they are playing well.

It's like this.
The Taj Majal is large.
The Mariana Trench is huge.
This game is the size of 13 Mariana Trenches full of Taj Majals.*
* Approximately.

Yes, and one with a new, high profile, assistant coach we should give an interview to this offseason. Is it a coincidence Montreal starts overachieving when he arrives? Pictured here coaching our boy, Carter.

Kotkaniemi really justifying his draft spot. Also sweet on flyers board been ng high on him when he was still a possibility in mid teens.

Is it a bad time to remind you that he was in charge of coaching the defensemen in that 2016 WJC? And that he thought it was a good idea to dress Cale Makar as the 7th D last year when he was clearly the most talented defenseman on the roster?

I did not realize he ran the 2016 WJC defense. Now I want to vomit. My blood pressure is rising remembering the atrocities of that team's coaching.
Fleury & Hickey shutdown pair!
Joe Hicketts deployed like Doughty!
Sanheim/Dermott splitting PP reps!
Bad memories!
