Phil Myers on waivers....

 

[Curufinwe]

As noted above Tyson sent back to Barrie and since Ryan Fitzgerald has a NHL contract has to go through waivers. Phantoms could use a shooter or two.

Phantoms are winning after 2 periods 3-1. Johnson, Zamula, and Lacyzinski the goals but what is more interesting Sandstrom has robbed Springfield shooters with a couple of incredible saves.

Allison is playing a solid game; has a shot or two, but really it is Tanner's and Sandstrom's show tonight so far. BTW, Springfield is either first or second in the conference, so Phantoms are hanging with the big boys.

I honestly didn’t expect Al and Lac to be playing again so soon.

 

[macleish1974]

After 1 period 1-0 on a Ratcliffe tip-in on the powerplay. Tanner and Allison are the two best so far. The shoots are like 6-5 in favor of Phantoms.
Not like last night. Tons of stick crap. Allison said enough of this shit. First period ended in a bunch of talking and high sticks.......IF Allison rubs off on Tippett, that will be good thing. Of course Rubstov and Bunnaman are not playing tonight. Need to get rid of contracts to sign all those college kids!!!

Game is NOT on WFMZ TV

[macleish1974]

3-2 Phantoms. As stated above Allison with a rebound on a breakaway shot. Ditto for Laczynski. Tons of checks, cross checks, feisty as hell.....

Between Saulnier and Allison, they stir the pot. Hodgson has to be less vocal since another 5 minute penalty results in more missed games.

Laczynski and O'Reilly are doing a decent job on face-offs. Defense could be better but they lost Hogberg early. MacKinnon is back playing D.

Zamula, Day and Wylie are playing reasonable well. Sandstrom is not letting in any easy goals. No super spectacular stops like last night.

I do not know when Ustimenko will be back again in goal. Errson still out.

3rd period about the start.....

 

[Magua]

Wonder how the Flyers will ice a lineup including Konecny, Atkinson, Tippett, Brink, Allison just next season. What a luxury, barring another great trade.

TK? That's cute.

TK? That's cute.

I did say barring another great trade. I can't wait for the Summer of Chuck 4.0. He's here to retool and chew flavorless bubblegum, and he's all out of gum.

 

[BigToe]

Sad

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sad

Thankfully picked him up as a prospect in my fantasy league.

 

[macleish1974]

Phantoms win a wild one 7-4. Easily Allison the No.1 with 2 goals and 2 assists. O"Reilly also had 2 goals. Sandstrom was strong enough 36-40 shots.
Defense pretty much held up with No.1 D-man Hogberg out during the 1st period, No update on his status.

They took two away games from 1st place Springfield. Good weekend.....

Good night everyone and enjoy pondering the trade tonight and all the trades that are still to come until March 21st......

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Remember, Allison isn't good enough to be up over Mayhew. Watch him be buried for the shittiness that is Tippett just to try to save face in the reality of a terrible f***ing trade.

 

[deadhead]

Allison hasn't played for months, he's in the AHL for a conditioning stint. Mayhew just got waived.
People really try to stretch things for hot takes.

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

Went to the Colts game last night to see Foerster play.

He didn't.

Been a hell of a season as a Flyer fan.

You forgot MacEwen too. After Atkinson and Tippett, I think he's the 3rd most likely RWer on the team next year. Sadly.

Thankfully Patrick Brown is still under contract next season too.

Flyers in trade talks for Justin Braun; Fletcher chats about Giroux deal

It appears Justin Braun has played his last game for the Philadelphia Flyers. Braun, a 35-year-old defenseman who has had a quality season, was not in the Flyers’ lineup Sunday against the visiting New York Islanders. The Flyers have the UFA on the trade block, and they did not want to risk an...

By including Connor Bunnaman and German Rubtsov in the deal, the Flyers are at 47 contracts; 50 is the maximum allowed. They will explore the college free-agent market, and they would also like to sign draftees Bobby Brink, Ronnie Attard, Noah Cates and Ivan Fedotov. Brink and Cates are forwards, Attard is a defenseman, and Fedotov is a 6-foot-6 Russian goalie who is 25 years old.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They lost Mayhew's contract today too so they are at 46...for now.

 

[Magua]

They grow up so fast.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

He looks ripe for defensive play.

 

[wasup]

Was just looking at Phantoms stuff and they are are 8-1-1 in the games Allison has played in this year . They are 22-25-8 in total this year .

 

[FLYguy3911]

Lot of college free agents with Minnesota ties...

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Not exactly Flyers related, but I went to a Reading Royals game this afternoon for the first time - my wife got a free ticket for teacher's appreciation day and it was also $1 nacho, hot dogs, and popcorn. The drop off in the level of play/talent is more noticeable than going to a Reading Phillies game, but I was pleasantly surprised about the in arena experience. It's a little thing, but even something like the goal horn and light/smoke show was a nice touch and more than I was expecting.

I could definitely see myself going back again.

Also, one game sample size, but Millman seems too good for the league.
