I wonder how many teammates will go with Provy to his offseason workout.
From what I remember, it really helped him over the hump to make team, was his incredible fitness and strength.

Oh ok. The fact they've lost 18 of their last 21 games while beating the Flyers twice makes them what exactly?
- PLindbergh31

Why did he get benched, but other guys like Schenn don't? There is no consistency with this coach.

A rookie being treated differently than a veteran. Stop the presses.

Lets be real, for the most part, rookies are treated differently than veterans. The thing with Konecny is he continues to make the same mistakes. I think he will learn and get it
- nastyflyergirl

I think he will learn from this season (scratching, injury, 4th line etc) and be a much better and stronger player going into 2018 with another summer to prepare.

They're a disgrace because they committed a blatant act of thuggery and are trying to justify it. It has nothing to do with wins or losses.

You should have practiced your reading comprehension in your time off because it's still barely elementary school level.

A Devils goon threw a dirty hit and was suspended for it. Ok I get it. So he's akin to Zac Rinaldo, Jesse Boulerice, Jody Shelley the list goes on and on...

What does the hit on Gudas have to do with getting beat 4 out 5 games by what is essentially a minor league hockey team?

They're not a "minor league team" they're an nhl team that had a bad season. Just like many other nhl teams that performed poorly.

If you're really a Flyers fan the way you portray yourself as a fan you should just give up, if not just troll somewhere else.

I thought Vecchione looked better as the game progressed and played well in the 3rd. Considering the kid hadn't played in a week and jumped from college to the NHL with little practice time, I give him the thumbs up.

I was very happy with Morin. I know Bill and some others say otherwise but I still think the kid could stand to put a few more pounds of muscle on. and my goodness, can he be interviewed every game regardless of how he plays. He just says what he thinks with excitement
- nastyflyergirl

Yup, Morin himself said that his goal this off season is to get stronger. He's 227 lbs now, so I expect he comes into camp somewhere around 235. Adding 8 pounds of muscle on a 6'7 frame won't slow him down a bit and will only help him win battles in front of the net and along the wall.

It's ok to be a vet and take undisciplined penalties.

It's not ok to be a rookie and take undisciplined penalties.



All this does is teach Konecny that it's ok to be undisciplined. He just needs to get older.

It has nothing to do with it. And we are all confused why you continue to try to make it about that.

The other thing about the Weise hit was that yes it was late, but the puck had been there a moment before and the hit could be argued it was in the context of play. It really should have been a 2 minute minor.

What Prout did was flatout headhunting.
- MBFlyerfan

Exactly and this is where DOPs continues to (frank) things up. That hit was a blatant attempt to injure another player, period, end of story. If they were actually serious about stopping this kind of crap, Prout should have been given a 15-20 game suspension and the coach and organization should have been fined the maximum amount allowed per league rules. Start handing out punishments like that and this crap stops.

And lets not kid ourselves, if Prout does that exact same thing against Crosby or McDavid, you damn well know he would have gotten 10 games.

Brad Marchand is despicable.

His douchebaggery showed again last night. Let's see what DoPS does.

Teams have other teams numbers, it's an anomoly. But you must not believe in them.

- BiggE

As I said they somewhere Prout should have got the 10 games for leaving the bench during an altercation. I think that rule should be amended to include leaving the bench purely to cause one.

And yes if DoPS handles these things better Weise doesn't do what he did. But really Weise should be done for the year too.

I'll guess he misses a game, maybe two, but will be back on the ice for the playoffs.

I think with his resume it's time to put 3 Playoff games on to the rest of the regular season but we all know DoPS will DoPS...
