Do you think they will remember we beat them very recently with a depleted lineup?

8 of the the league's top 12 teams are in the East. Columbus are 13th and currently out of a playoff spot.

Morin should get a chance soon unless the Flyers suddenly start winning every game. Cause that's what they will need to jump over two of the teams above them.
If they are going to go 11/7 Saturday, I’d sit AMac and put in Morin. Spot him here and there and let him start getting some experience.

Losses are almost certainly on the way. 5 of the next 6 games are very tough matchups.

Actually I'd prefer they don't rush back. This year is done. Don't give the idiots running things hope that they can squeak in.

Nolan doesn't have an injury that they need to be cautious with like a concussion. It's just an ear laceration. As soon as he is comfortable enough to put his helmet on, he can play with an ear guard and have no issues. Let him get back in there and finish the season strong. No need to baby him.

sitting hart, jake and patrick out, gives them a perfect chance or excuse. for playing the young guys, to see what they have, and the losses, that may or may not have happened anyway.

They can't call up more than one more body. They have enough healthy players to make a valid roster so they are not allowed to do emergency call ups yet. We are stuck with trotting out Bailey, Varone, Knight, AMac and Hagg unless they want to slot Morin in for one of the D.

The mistake was when they recalled Knight after sending him to Lehigh at the deadline. That spot could have went to a kid but management felt Knight earned the call back. Myers being one of the 4 post trade deadline recalls will get no complaints from anyone. Bailey didn't move the needle either way. Knight is the one that I take issue with.

They could call up a forward on an emergency basis if they wanted to since there are only 11 healthy ones. They'd have to put someone on IR, but could easily move Hart there.

Fletcher's giving Gordon a ton of latitude in regard to Goalies. They seem to have different evaluations.
