Nasty face first hit to the ice courtesy of the rat. Hope Friedman remains OK. Played well I thought.

As of today, Jan. 22:

With Morin being placed back on taxi squad in the past few hours, that could signify an opening for Gostisbehere.

Myers, Couturier and Morin were the three roster players scratched from the last game. Morin is now ineligible to play. My guess is Myers, Couturier and Ghost will be the three players on the active roster who will be scratched tonight, unless there is another move forthcoming.

Only three players max can be scratched from an active roster.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

A little optimism with Myers based on words today. He is getting closer to playing per Vigneault. Even if tempered optimism, that sounds like progress.

Now with a reference:

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

With Nate Prosser activated from the taxi squad on Jan. 28, Sam Morin was returned there to make a spot available.

Robert Hagg, Mark Friedman and Sean Couturier are the current players on the active roster who did not play Jan. 28.

How does IR work this year?

Does Couts have to miss a certain amount of days or games this year?

I’m really hoping They get him back for 2nd Caps game

They can back date it to when he got hurt. So the certain amount of days/games played shouldn’t be an issue & he should be able to rejoin the team right away when he’s deemed fit to play.

Feb. 2: Morgan Frost could miss the rest of the regular season. It appears shoulder surgery is being scheduled.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Feb. 2: Sean Couturier is roughly one week away from a return but that is fluid.

Now with something tangible:

 

[Lindberg]

Injuries happen it's not like the Flyers are the only team prone to them. This team has some pretty decent depth when used correctly. Hopefully Patrick stays healthy and lives up to that #2 overall pick.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Assuming the Flyers even make the playoffs in the first place the organization just got their excuse for Frost not playing again.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Feb. 2: Morgan Frost could miss the rest of the regular season. It appears shoulder surgery is being scheduled.

This makes the refusal to play him last year and in the playoffs even more obnoxious. The team has wasted a year of his development.

 

[BritainStix]

Well this f***ing sucks.

I'm not convinced Allison is even real.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I'm not convinced Allison is even real.

Back in the 80s, the Flyers had a player named Ray Allison who was a member of the "Hi-Speed Line" with Brian Propp, his Juniors' linemate, and Ron Flockhart. Showed skill, showed promise, and then in Washington, the day after Christmas, he smashed his ankle into the net when those babies were nearly immovable. He was never the same player after that.

Allisons and ankles don't seem to mesh well with the Flyers.

Why did Frost wait 2 weeks to have the surgery, was the team hoping it wasn't necessary?

 

[Rebels57]

Major setback for Morgan. His once bright future is now cloudy.

Because everything is stupid and hard.

 

[flyersnorth]

Major setback for Morgan. His once bright future is now cloudy.

The good news is that he'll be 22 next season, so not too late by any stretch.

Allison will be going on 24. Getting close to make or break (pun intended) for him.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Why did Frost wait 2 weeks to have the surgery, was the team hoping it wasn't necessary?

From the outset, it appeared he would be out for months. It isn't uncommon to see if an injury can heal on its own and, if no progress is shown, then opt for surgery.

From what has been said, Frost is having surgery in Colorado.

 

[Larry44]

Why did Frost wait 2 weeks to have the surgery, was the team hoping it wasn't necessary?

Hard to speculate, but likely wanted to see how it looked once the swelling went down to see how stable the joint is. They always prefer rehab to surgery with shoulders, so it must've been loose or unstable.

 

[Larry44]

Ouch, I didn't see this about Ratcliffe before:

 

[TCTC]

Tough luck for Frost. With our forward depth this was always an uphill battle for him. Now he's definitely behind Patrick on the depth chart.

 

[Magua]

Frost will have played 2 games in 1.5 years. There’s no way he gets into the lineup in 2021-2022. Honestly, best case is Frost follows the Morin development model and is ready to be a full time 7th/8th defenseman by 2022-2023.
