In order for me to accurately judge how successful this strategy is, I must first know the ice time that lehtera and folin receive

Lehtera will play 8 mins and 37 secs
Folin will be in the press box. If AMac cant go, we dress the waterboy in his place

Are we just gonna go all season with a terrible PK again?
- aightwebang17

The pk will be bad as long as it’s working in front of mediocre goalies. Even the best PK units need their goalies to make a clutch save now and then. Good luck with that on most nights.

yes

wh does everyone assume Myers will get the call and not Friedman?

Have you been around all this time or have you taken some time off??

I think the Flyers blame a bit of the PK on the goalies too, which I think is part of the reason they're still so bad at it.

The problem is that the coach is comfortable with Folin because he knows exactly what he is getting, a bad hockey player who does very little, if anything, competently.

Myers is an unknown quantity in the nhl at this point. The Flyers go out and ice the team each night they think can win the hockey game. It’s way too big of a risk to suit up Myers. It doesn’t matter what his pedigree is or long term outlook or his skill set is. That’s all gobblity gunk. The coach’s job is to ice the team that he thinks can win the next game.

Folin is really the least of their problems right now.

let's see if he pulls through

My favorite part of the game vs NJ was Giroux’s backchecking.

Sets a good tone for the rest of the team and led to some transition offense and a goal on one sequence.

Voracek being a human highlight real vs NJ was also good. Nice bounce back game.

so if they are going to keep scratching Vorobyev, send the kid down

A good captain would have done this opening night!!! Hope you sense my sarcasm.

it's only been a few days...still have another 3 weeks or so

agree...and your other point about jake

Giroux deserves a ton of credit for getting back on that 2 on 1, but Sanheim shut Taylor Hall the (frank) down on that play. Sanheim has played 3 very strong games in a row and he along with Gudas has been the best pair for almost 2 weeks now

But he's not that unknown. It's not as if they don't know his skillset right now, and how that might translate to the NHL. He's good enough to play in the NHL right now.

Very few players can head into th NHL ready for their expected roles (in this case as a top 4 dman). No matter when he comes, he's going to have to adjust.
