Jets waiving Ondrej Pavelec, too, per reports
- Jsaquella

I think Connor Hellebuyck is the real deal.

I agree. I suppose it will depend on how egregious they are and how many there are whether he stays around after nine games (assuming he makes the roster).

That giveaway against Boston was brutal. It looked like he never even considered the possibility that someone could be behind him.

- Scoob


As long as he shows hes learning and the mistakes are affecting the way he plays then I really dont care. I have zero doubts that a turnover like that will become a part of his game

Provorov would have to whack the puck into his own net once per game to get sent down now.

One wonky skate landing and one raised shoulder have gutted the Flyers depth on D to start the season.

Gudas' imminent suspension pisses me off because it is a pure reputation suspension. ANYONE ELSE who makes the same hit would not face supplementary discipline.

Yes, but he needs to realize those kinds of things, and for better or for worse, the best way is to have them happen to him. It isn't the last time he's going to make a bad mistake and get burned, but the earlier he can start experiencing things like that, the earlier he can start learning from them.

That's such a great name, too.

I feel like he should be a comic book hero with a name like that.

I don't know about "anyone else" not facing discipline, but maybe not a 5+ gamer. It was a stupid, illegal, unnecessary hit. There's really no way to defend it.

Does anyone have an idea of when the Flyers have to submit their full roster by?

I would assume 3 PM Thursday, but they probably would like to get all cuts to their respective teams ASAP.

I agree, but since we know this is how the league operates, I'm assuming Gudas does as well. He needs to keep that in mind when he takes the ice.

Problem I have is how do you tell a player who walks that fine line, to turn it down a notch?

I think I'm a little more excited to see who gets the first call up or how the defense shapes our overall. Manning might be ready Saturday,who knows. Is Mac being sent down because of his deal. I don't think the sky is falling if Gudas has to sit.
