Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Konecny, Lindblom, Team Awards, Phantoms and More

happy birthday "Chief" i'll always remember the nationally televised regular season game vs the bruins in 1974 when fred shero told nbc that it was the chief's turn to play that day so bernie could have a rest after he had started like 20 games in a row

good feels from that Lindblom photo, thanks for including that

Im shocked that not one Flyer has yet to throw up a Big "O" "L" as a goal celebration...gets the crowd involved and builds team first.

Oskar deserves it...step up boys!

Nothing but high hopes and Optimism for Oskar Lindblom.

I don’t think Sanheim should be in the conversation for the Barry Ashbee this season.

I’m sure this will sound ridiculous but I’ve liked Myers overall game ahead of Sanheim’s, mistakes and all.

I think Myers has more to his game than Sanheim. But when Myers is bad, he's BAD.

Myers has more physicality but Sanheim (despite inconsistency of his own) is the more polished player and better offensively.

Wyatte Wylie now has 42 points in 45 games played. He registered an apple last night, and with that he is now five points away from the most points in the WHL for defenseman. Wylie is earning an ELC with the #Flyers for sure.

Could be misleading but Sanheim has just two more points than Myers on the season, while Myers has played 18 less games. With this said, I do like Sanheim’s shot head and shoulders better than Myers.

Didn't realize he was that high.

Zamula was averaging a point per game (28 GP, 7G, 21A) when he went down. Is he out for the year?

Yeah he got back surgery so he's done for the rest of the season

I agree. Sanheim is more polished at this point but Myers has potential with his size and skill. Sanheim isn't a slouch by any stretch.

Love how everything is coming together for the mid-range future.

Well we’re definitely lucky Sanheim has a reasonable agent. Right now we have Sanheim at a bargain.

Could we have had Barzel?

He wanted an ELC last summer. Let’s hope the Flyers did not wait to long on this one. He can be an FA after 6/1/20

Brady Tkachuk is in the All-Star game Game. Under a point per game guy. On a bad team.

You can’t write this stuff, people.

- SuperSchennBros

if you didn't want a dman. to me Provorov was way more important.

Florida took Crouse before Barzal. Boston could have had Barzal, Connor, Chabot, Boeser and Konecny over Zboril and Senyshyn.

fun doing 20/20 hindsight. I seriously didn't understand the Crouse love at all

Is it true that Gritty jumped into the visitors' penalty box to throw batteries at Santa Claus?

first of all, Santa was asking for it

Re:Crouse

I definitely liked him at the time but not where we were picking. It was Provy or Barzal for me. Still can't believe the Devils passed over Provy. I've never jumped for joy more while watching the draft.

It's funny how the Flyers have picked the guy I was rooting for like 5 out of the last 6 or 7 years. 2nd round tho... totally different story. I badly wanted to move up for Barbashev and to draft DeBrincat

DeBrincat was gone so the Flyers had to settle for Hart.

Konecny almost dead last in the speed contest! I guess he is a tad faster than JVR and the hockey gurlYs. 😡
