Weegar only makes that hit because we don’t have our boy Zac MacEwan

 

[Magua]

This team f***ing sucks

Couldn’t time any better having one of the best goalie tandems in franchise history!

This team is meant for existential comedy.

 

[mr4tno]

Lycksell played all of 5 minutes. How is he supposed to be evaluated playing 5 minutes with the 2 slugs. didn't they learn their lesson with Frost? Once he was given quality time, he exceled....

I don't think anyone involved with running this team in management or coaching is capable of learning.

ummm im not seeing anything that points to wrist/arm


looks more like he just got freight trained

When guys like Nick and Browner are clearly rolling and playing at such a high level , young guys time has to be cut.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I rarely watch Flyers games except for a few this season and this is my 3rd time strangely enough seeing Ersson in net and I have been impressed as hell... He looks like a definate keeper that could become something very special

I hate Travis Konecny for even being on this team.

GTFO try hard.

Your asking a coach who is personally trying to destroy Sanheim , know how to handle Lycksell? How cute of you!

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Yes if the return is a potential top six center +. Otherwise, no.
My fear is that Ersson is something good and Fletcher will toss him for peanuts

Moving Hart for a mediocre return and then finding out that Ersson was just a flash in the pan seems like a far more Flyers thing to do.

Ok, great….but what about the limp?

 

[Shrike]

I watched a few bits of the third period. First time in a while. This team has so many unlikeable players on it. Is having to cheer for known racists and bigots because they are on your team a stain on your character as a fan?

I don’t feel right when watching this team.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

all these meaningless wins for what? Torts was the wrong hire. This is what a lot of us expected. Just getting these shit wins and obtain a lower draft pick. No light at the end of the tunnel, we’re a joke

Don’t worry. It’s all part of the aggressive retool plan.

Won a game they should have lost after losing a game they should have won.

Sanheim got benched b/c he has sucked for a long stretch - since Dec 7 when York came up:

Provorov CF 48.24% xGF 49.41% xGFrel +0.47 pp/60: 0.50
Sanheim CF 48.78% xGF 45.37% xGFrel -6.66 pp/60: 0.45
TDA CF 49.26% xGF 43.93% xGFrel -7.22 pp/60: 1.15
York CF 48.48% xGF 53.88% xGFrel +7.00 pp/60: 1.04
Risto CF 46.78% xGF 51.88% xGFrel +3.04 pp/60: 0.85

Sanheim and TDA have both sucked, but on a team starving for goals, at least TDA is creating offense (for both teams).

Farabee has also struggled, I think b/c he was never able to work out and missed TC he's simply worn down and has hit the wall. If they had any depth, they'd sit him for a week or two.

The problem with Lycksell is they don't have a 4C, and they want to play Hayes and JVR up to the TDL (and Hayes probably up to the summer) to maintain trade value. Lycksell should be back in LHV until JVR is traded, so he can get ice time on their 1st line then come up and play a top 9 role. Like Willman, he doesn't have the grit for a bottom line energy role, but at least has enough skill for a look higher in the lineup.

How come Mr Accountability has never benched Provorov for sucking? You told us he would. That he wouldn't care.

It's hilarious you assume anyone is being sold off. They're reluctant to trade Seeler. The smoke is that they're pondering being buyers. Every time they win a game like this they think they're contenders for a while and they forget everything else.

The Flyers locker room is f***ing pissed about Torts scratching Sanheim in his hometown game. Absolutely furious.

***Before anyone asks, I’m not divulging where I got this information.***

I was told everyone feels honored to be scratched by Torts.

So you're telling us Provorov's "expected" results have been better since he was paired with York instead of Angelo, and Sanheim's have got worse since he had to play with Angelo? Shocking.

If only someone could have predicted that Angelo would have by far the worst xGA/60 and GA/60 on the defense this season.

It is a badge of honor or honour if you're Canadian.
