Is he getting the frame or are they just bunching up the net and throwing it in a fedex box? I need to know the effort level in Jersey.

The latter

There is literally a video they posted of them cutting off the net

What was the fracture over? Brennan felt he deserved a call-up or ???

Conditioning issues. Brennan was quite a bit above his recommended playing weight.

There is no doubt that both Farabee and Frost are going to be good NHL players in my opinion. Both however need a little more time. Farabee is ahead of Frost in my opinion. Frost struggled in his most recent call up and was quickly removed from the lineup and sent down. A summer of hard training and packing on some muscle will do a lot of good.

Excited for tonight's game. I am hopeful that they play well and I will mostly be trying to see how well Thompson and Grant move around out there. I don't have unrealistic expectations for them offensively. Just want to make sure they move well enough to really help -- I haven't seen either play in months and I won't pretend I noticed either of them that much, though I do recall seeing Grant score a goal

I don't think he struggled at all in his most recent callup.

VS Caps: 9 for-10 FOs, skated well, puck touch on a JVR goal sequence (no assist), hit crossbar.

vs. Florida: two turnovers on his first shift and then strong thereafter. Skated well. Several shots on goal. Part of a goal sequence (again, no assist). Line was in the positive in shot attempts. PP deflection than narrowly missed the net. Sprung Myers on a breakaway (no goal, but drew a penalty on Florida). Also thought he backchecked well.

I was very encouraged by those two games.

I very rarely disagree with you but I do here. Other than a couple of puck plays here and there he wasn't competitive enough. Playing on the outside and playing passively. I think if Frost had played well in his last look, the Flyers don't go out and trade for two centers. There's a significant difference between Farabee's game and Frost's. Farabee is always engaged despite the physical disadvantage. Frost played timidly in my opinion. I was not surprised to see him taken out of the lineup and to be sent back down.

We're going to have to agree to disagree here. I saw second and third efforts, good pace, etc.

Just saw the devils are shipping Ovechkin the net he scored his 700th goal on. Pretty cool.

Outside of the Eagles Philly is a massive bandwagon town. As are most cities honestly. At least the Flyers still filled stadiums during their struggles unlike the Sixers and Phillies.

Patrick was never playing this year. It's March and he hasn't been cleared for contact. Missing an entire season due to migraines. Wonder how many times that has happened in the NHL. Has to be dozens.

Sidney Crosby missed 123 games over a 2 1/4 season span due to post-concussion issues.

How do they not knock Leblanc the EFF out for sticking his twig inside Harts pads like that?
