Just couldn't (frank)ing resist calling him up. Win now more important. (frank)ing horsepoop.

Why wouldn't you call him up and see how he plays? If he can help the team, they'll find out. If not, send him back down. Honestly, what's the problem?

My Edmonton Oiler friend and I were talking the other day and he proposed Perron and Petry for the Schenn Brothers. Your thoughts?

I'd like to tweak it a bit, but yeah, it's a pretty fair deal

He'll be stuck in the locker room, sucking his thumb, calling for his mommy, and ruined forever.

I'm sure two of the three Thrasher fans were getting impatient with Coburn too

Typical Flyers management.
- flyer_nutter



Drafted a quality player, and bringing him up as a depth player, to fill in for injuries. I agree, typical Flyers management.

But the only thing that's really typical, is criticizing just for the sake of criticizing.

He needs at least six or seven years of seasoning at the AHL level according to ob.

So much for giving the prospects time... but I have to say I am really excited to watch him play.

Honestly, picture him out there and the G/Jake line on the ice, well that is going to be high octane no doubt.

That (frank)ing hard to give the prospects their time to develop and stay away from this poop fire. Just couldn't resist. Can't stomach losing a few games for a long term view. Absolute horsepoop.

I'd say maybe even 8 or 9. No reason to rush

Nope, Petry is a defenseman struggling to crack the oilers line-up and perron is overrated for what he actually brings game in and game out.

They were going to recall a prospect anyhow. Would you have been pissed if they recalled Alt, or is it just the flashy prospects that you want to stay in the AHL?

If he struggles, he can go back. No big deal

Not to mention McCrossin will be able to get his hands on him and break his hands and ankles. Train wreck waiting to happen

Maybe you're right. It's October 24th, the Season is 7 games old. The Flyers should just quit trying to win games. In pro sports, trying to win games is absolute horsepoop. And Gostisbehere is going to be absolutely ruined because the Flyers called him up. Funny how a short term move, is going to screw up the long term.

I'd have liked alt better yes. Personally I would have liked an approach to give ghost and the other more promising prospects as much time developing as possible. Especially with the poop show the nhl club is.

Absolutely. McCrossin isn't even a doctor, and he's reading the Xrays and making the medical diagnosis!

Son. With you a discussion is pointless. As likely as I am to question them you are as likely to defend them at all cost. I think both of our routines are pretty predictable to be honest. I can admit this.

Petry has played in 6 out of the 7 games Edmonton has played. And he's averaging over 18 minutes a game.
