So you’re saying that’s enough to get Kovalchuk in a Flyers jersey? 😉
- Buzzo


That price sounds about right for an authentic jersey at the fan store.

I don't think there is a way to put a timetable on a concussion.

Tuesday's game in Philly begins a four-in-six gauntlet in the east. The Flyers game is the front end of a road back-to-back for Anaheim that will shift to New Jersey on Wednesday to play the Devils. The team then faces a weekend Empire State back-to-back on the weekend against the New York Islanders (Saturday) and Rangers (Sunday).

I must have Star Wars on my mind, because I read that as Empire Strikes Back.

Pitlick got concussed on Saturday; those things never have a timetable.

Laughton has a groin injury and the only word on him is that it isn't a day-to-day situation and he may miss some time.

- bmeltzer


That's very bad news for the flyers. If he out a month that's a huge hit because that line was playing well

Why not throw Ghost as forward tonight? Hell even Myers with his size and speed could be more effective then some of the guys we plugged in upfront.
People need to not get upset at Stewart for getting that contract and ice time. That’s on management, Stewart didn’t offer himself that and sign .

That is good at least. In the next 10 days they should have everyone back with the exception of #23 & 19

Well yeah, but they don't have anyone else. Giroux, Couturier, Voracek, JVR, and Hayes have to carry the team. Time to strap them up and get to work, or the season is going to go down the poopter in a hurry.

And my problem isn't with Stewart, I'm sure he's a fine guy and a good veteran to have in the locker room, but he's not an NHL level player now. My issue is with Fletcher having him on the roster.

With all the dead wood they are putting on the ice he doesn't help.

- PLindbergh31

The problem isn’t Stewart but Stewart is the problem...

Stewart isn’t the difference between winning tonight or any other night. He’s a fourth line energy player. That big guns have to show up and that’s that.

I wanna shake my head at you like everyone else but I actually think Ghost is the worst defenseman in his own end, on this team, by a country mile.

I'm trying to come up with reasons why this team should'nt make a move for Kovy and I've got nothing. These are trying times.

Before the injuries and suspension hit would they have made a move for him, I dont think.

Looks like they are getting TK back tonight..They will have Farabee back in 3 games .
OL is obviously done for the year.

If the Flyers need space, the can easily add someone the LTIR. Right now only 4 of the 7 are on LTIR.
- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Players place on LTIR have to be on for a minimum of 10 games or 24 days.

If he's willing to sign for under $1M prorated (about all the Flyers can afford), then he'd help as an injury replacement for Lindblom.

But they have to know what they're getting into. Kovy's not gonna suddenly be willing to dump the puck, crash the net, back-check like a demon, etc. He's a Ferrari. He's not a hauler or a plower.
