NEPA is rough for any hockey outside of ice hockey. Used to live in upper Bensalem and we used to always play massive games of roller hockey at the tennis courts. Guys would be driving by see guys playing go home get their gear and come back.

In Levittown we played at the tennis courts and always had guys showing up.

The Scranton Wilkes Barre area sucks. No blacktop rinks, I never see pickup games, no leagues close by. Stroudsburg roller rink used to have a league but could never make it since I was working out of town all in those days.
With the little pens so popular here I'm surprised no outdoor roller rinks were ever built.

Hart def should be on the bench. Elliot and Talbot isnt black and white though. Talbot hasnt practiced that much with the team and Elliott while he has been strong has just returned from injury but at the same time it will show case him for a trade.

I see a market for him. You arent going to get something like what Simmonds will return but you will get a decent pick or a decent prospect.

I tried using a black marker to make the white ones black.

Mylec goalie pads. I remember paying for them with a jar of coins. I can still hear the sound they made when you’d slido on the blacktop and how all of my sneakers had the toes worn off from doing it.

Did Talbot get his papers straightened out? I’m fine with it heck he’s looked half decent maybe the flyers have someone nibbling. If he looks good Saturday maybe it’s enough to sell him

Showcase him for a trade?? Guys been in the league for a (frank)ing decade, give me a break. Knowing the Flyers luck, he’ll probably get injured. Gonna be hysterical when the home team’s starting goalie gets booed when he’s introduced.

I think Talbot has only had one practice since he was traded. I guess he needs some more time on the ice before he’s ready to play?

He’s playing behind a D featuring a pairing of Hagg/AMac. No amount of practice can prepare you for that nightmare.

I will be shocked if Hart isn't starting tmrw

No way management let's Elliott start. The outcry would be absurd

That Elliott is starting?

Edit: Wow. I know Hart is tough and mature but that's gotta weigh on a kid.

Also, wtf is this franchise doing. It's clear the front office has no plan. Trade for Talbot, start Elliott... I have no faith in the Brain trust

This is an overreaction. If Hart is not going to play and I agree he needs a break, does it really make a difference if it Elliott or Talbot?

If we're worried about Simmonds starting this game because of terrible conditions then I'm fine with them not starting Hart either. These outdoor games are no more important than any other regular season game. Hart doesn't need to start and given his last two starts a break can be justified.

Why does this upset you so much? Nobody will remember or care about a rainy hockey game. They play outdoors every other year. Every team seems to. Big whoop

As a Hab fan, I remember Carey Price early years and the booing in the preseason at only 22 years old.

poop happens. Nobody is perfect. You guys have a gem there. Next big thing in hockey

I believe it was, I thought he mentioned that everything is finally good and he was excited to finally get going with the team and all that jazz. I’d go check the DVR but I immediately deleted it for some reason....

Talbot joined team Wednesday and has been with them ever since. They only had an optional practice a morning skate and than one practice tonight before the game tomorrow. Likely meaning they didnt feel comfortable with him going. Hart got a helmet specifically designed with the pre game and theme in mind with the eagles cause he was prior told he would start. Than they changed it on him. He should of never started Thursday. And it's an absolute black eye on the organizational dysfunction. It makes sense to start elliot. But should of never started hart Thursday
