Played very well. Made a few great breakout passes. Made a well-timed pinch that kept play alive leading to the GWG by Provorov.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Looked better than MacDonald

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Not something I didn’t know, but he sure eats up a lot of ice.

 

[Prongo]

Looked better than MacDonald

What was his corsi though?

 

[Deadpool8812]

What was his corsi though?

Of corsi had zero belly slides

Needs to be calmer and more patient making controlled breakouts. Use his body and feet if need be instead of chucking. That’s not new. And being extra jacked up doesn’t help.

Easy...Only his first game!
Going to have a long career in Philly!

I’ve seen Myers like 100 times. That’s not a 1 game remark.

He can be a an average passer, sometimes flashes above, but he can get hot potato syndrome sometimes and just get it off his stick fast instead of manufacturing a patient exit. Even Gudas should be used as a good template for just waiting that extra second and finding a lane. But Myers can skate a lot more puck out than him. I’m sure trying not to make a turnover and being “safe” factors in. He’s a different animal with confidence. Still not a great passer. Just needs to be less panicky at times.

I saw that too. One of his first shifts he tried to hurl a pass across 2 lines right after getting a d to d. Broken right up. Puck made it back to him just a few seconds later (same sequence) and he corraled it and again rushed (albeit successfully) a two line pass.

Like you said. First game adrenaline won't help the "100mph" nerves

Nice refreshing defenseman ...jumped in and never looked out of place!

 

[Philly Fanatik]

I remember when he got beverred in WJHC...concussed by Kunin...
and had injuries ever since!
Hope he makes good on his NHL chance!

Sounds like Phil Myers is prone to getting...

...over excited.

Well I do think it plays out similar to that. But for sure if he is showing he is better than Gudas in 2 years, we move Gudas. I just think that he will have a harder time making it based on who is on our team at that point.

I said it before:

2015 Ghost
2016 Provy....maybe Morin by deadline
2017 Sanheim...Morin for sure...maybe Hagg by deadline
2018 maybe Myers...Maybe Hagg
2019 Myers for sure and maybe Friedman
2020 Friedman

I think their "likely" arrival date looks something like this.

This time frame really wasn't far off, injuries aside.

 

[baudib1]

I'll never understand scouting. I didn't play hockey at any level higher than messing around at the local rink a couple times.

But Myers looks like a total animal. He plays textbook defense, he totally neutralizes guys along the boards and takes away their time and space when entering the zone. He's freakishly athletic and has great puck skills. Who would leave this guy in the minors?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Keeping him away from what’s his face was probably a blessing in disguise. Didn’t need him tinkering with his aggressiveness.

This d is our top young prospects that we were waiting to jump up to the nhl. Sanheim has improved a lot. But Myers he is ready. Our first two pairing are gonna be good, our shutdown pair Gudas,Hagg that is gonna be one good unit, with new coach, we gonna be tough to play.

 

[baudib1]

Kinda have to hear it to appreciate it, but on BSH radio, Charlie O'Connor said he talked to Phil Myers and asked if he noticed any difference in strength among NHL players, if he was having any trouble. "And without saying it, he said, 'No!'"

 

[Hiesenberg]

If you ever look at Myers from the Trial on the Isle, he's a monster, he's not a 6'6" twig, he's big ass dude, he's been strong for a couple of years now.

There is a chance he could be the best dman on the team in a few years, honestly.

He can skate
He can hit
He's aggressive
He can shoot
He can pass
He can stick handle
He can clear the front of the net

 

[Branko]

He can skate
He can hit
He's aggressive
He can shoot
He can pass
He can stick handle
He can clear the front of the net

None of which is valued by the current coaching staff

he imo has by far the biggest upside of any dman prospect i've ever seen in the flyers organization.

He looks like the best dman on the team RIGHT NOW. No hyperbole.
