So just to be clear we aren't playing him because it takes a few games for him to get up to speed, so let's wait until we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, which will only really happen about 1 week before the season ends, then he can play but the season ends before he gets up to speed?

I read a week ago or so from Bill that after his first game in LHV he was so dehydrated he needed fluids...I am thinking they are going to take their time in making sure he is REALLY ready before they put him on the ice at the NHL level. If he doesn't see the ice this year I won't lose any sleep over it because that means they are still in the playoff race and the other guys are healthy and playing well...just because he is cleared medically doesn't mean he is ready to be thrown in at what has really been playoff speed for the Flyers every game now. This is not over baking, this is just making sure you don't mess the kid up and set him back either physically because he pushes too hard, or expose him to players that are in peak NHL form with a season of working together at this point...

Yes, this. He is working his ass off to get ready. I don't want any setbacks. I think Ghost was on the shelf for a year before he was ready when he blew his knee out.

Calling Malkin a nerd was almost as good as when Hartnell called him the ugliest guy in the league.

Hartnell was a first ballot, hall of famer poop talker and I think Konecny could approach that status someday.

Now you want them to use MacDonald as a forward on the 4th line?
- MJL


No, I just want to get Morin in some games, and enough games to fairly evaluate him. Which means enough time to recoup what he lost from the injury. I also dont want to take Sanheim and Myers out to do it. And I realize they have to keep trying to win, so how else do you get him enough games to fairly evaluate him this year.

There were tear-jerk moments with Simmonds, but the budding superstar of smack stole the show! Dan the ref was my other favorite: Is there a question?

Not sure we're going to see much of him unless someone gets dinged.

That's not going to happen. It would not be fair to evaluate Morin as a player this season. When they get to the point where the playoffs are out, Morin will see some time. He needs a full off season of training and a training camp next season. That's when he will be evaluated if he is going to be part of the team moving forward.

I forgot that was on. I'm up in North Jersey at the moment, near the water gap. Some how I can't get the Flyer in a t.v. package, like Comcast. There are 4, count them, four (frank)ing MSG channels. I have always used NHL.TV. signed up last week. Took two different phone calls and two hours for them to discover that on NHL.TV they black out the Rags, Devils, Isles and.......... The Flyers. Anybody know another source I can get the game? Tonight's game I get on NBCSN.

EDIT: on a different note, not that far to catch a Phantoms game.

You can use ExpressVPN with a 30 day trial run. This should allow you to stream blacked out games!!

Got to check the black out rules. I am in Pensacola Fl, Tampa Bay games are blacked out on NHL.tv based on my location, Nashville games were blacked out due to IP address showing my location as in Atlanta.

I have had numerous issues with NHL.Tv, black outs haven't been one of them

Yes, as much as I think we will get to see Morin a little this season for whatever circumstance causes it—using 7 D, injuries, playoff elimination, suspension or the unforeseen—he won’t be evaluated until training camp. He is coming off a serious injury.

As an aside, that will allow me to play texas hold em cash games from any where. Although I think you can do that in Jersey anyway.

Had trouble finding feeds. I was looking for the pre season games that wasn't being streamed. None of them were. Where do the Reddit feeds come from.
