Every decision the Flyers ever make is the correct one, got it.

Nope, but certainly if they make a decision that someone doesn't agree with, that doesn't make it an indictment against the organization. That's a laughable comment. When you look at the Flyers handling and development of young players, it is overwhelmingly positive.

I'm sure Hagg will be healthy scratched for the next game like Konecny, and Ghost and Sanheim were after games where they made poor decisions on the ice. It greatly helped with their development to watch from the press box and focus on improving their game in practice, according to Flyers management.

If Hagg isn't healthy scratched, that would be a puzzling double standard.

It's not a double standard. Every player is different. The decisions on how to handle every player is different. Hakstol was asked about it recently at the town hall meeting. He basically said decisions to scratch young players are made for a variety of reasons. Fans want it to be consistent across the board. It never has been, and never will be. When I look at how Konency and Gostisbehere are playing right now, it's pretty obvious the decisions made on how to handle them were correct. Both players have seen large areas of growth in their games.

4-23 in shot attempts is fantastic.

IDK if Lehtera is just as cool as the other side of the pillow or if he doesn't know half the stuff he's doing and is shocked he scored AGAIN
