[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This will be updated in the next day. Up a little early due to other commitments.

 

[TheKingPin]

Lyon rejoining bc Elliot is shit?

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Lyon rejoining bc Elliot is ****?

An extra goalie for the trip to Europe in case there is an unexpected need, that is my assumption.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Is Stewart playing?

 

[AdamParrot]

That roster without Stewart, Hägg, Welinski (I know he is injured) would be f***ing awesome!!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Is Stewart playing?

No roster is yet listed because practice was canceled for (yesterday) Tuesday. A better indication as to whom plays will be after today's late morning practice.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

No roster is yet listed because practice was canceled for (yesterday) Tuesday. A better indication as to whom plays will be after today's late morning practice.

If we go by av quote of wanting everyone to have 4 games then Stewart, t-war and jvr should sit while G, Couts, TK and Provy with Niskanen should definitely be in.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Please, PLEASE, I hope this means that this is the end of Stewart. f*** him.

I'm guessing the only pre-season game that Patrick may play is the one overseas?

 

[Curufinwe]

We don't even know if Patrick will make the trip to Europe.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

We don't even know if Patrick will make the trip to Europe.

That's true. I'm just being optimistic.

 

[hatcher]

That roster without Stewart, Hägg, Welinski (I know he is injured) would be ****ing awesome!!

There on as of right now so go get some sleep dude. It's not good staying up all night wondering if they cut players unless you work for the team.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

I say they let hagg and Morin get big minutes against whomever good the rangers put out there. Let hart decide based on who hangs him out to dry.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Raffl top 9, Hope JVR or Oscar bumps him down
Haag in top 6
Stewart in top 12

f*** ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TB87]

 

[FLYguy3911]

It’s happening...

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Still can’t believe Rubtsov is not the 4th line centre!
Unreal! A young and up and coming two way center with a tremendous amount of potential!
Stewart? Bunny? Twarynski!
No,by’!

 

[deadhead]

Maybe y'all should go back and read what Fletcher has said - nothing is set the first few weeks, players will be coming and going from LHV.
Which sounds to me like AV is playing with a "30 man roster" to start the season and will allow players to sort themselves out over time.

One reason may be they see a lot of prospects on the edge of being NHL ready, and want them to have NHL cameos where they experience the speed of the game in the regular season, then take those lessons back to LHV to work on their game.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Believe there was supposed to be Patrick news today...

 

[FLYguy3911]

Fletcher said hopefully today.

 

[BernieParent]

Believe there was supposed to be Patrick news today...

 

[CapnZin]

Yeah... if Morin or Hagg starts over Myers I’ll flip my shit.

It’s even more wild to me that Stewart has basically played in every game.

 

[hatcher]

As a great fan I have helped AV and Fletcher so far and I hate that it bothers some of you that what I want is happening. It's the best for the team not individuals.

 

[phillydownsouth]

Still can’t believe Rubtsov is not the 4th line centre!
Unreal! A young and up and coming two way center with a tremendous amount of potential!
Stewart? Bunny? Twarynski!
No,by’!

a ton of wasted* potential. He didn't look very impressive in preseason games. Same went for NAK

whereas bunz actually looked pretty good

 

[Curufinwe]

Niskanen demoted to 3rd pairing already. Why even trade for him, etc.
