I acknowledge the risky passes he sometimes attempts, My point is simply Hayes is the least of this team's problems right now.

I found out at puck drop Prosser was put in the game, I was gonna beat up on the move with everyone else. When you really think about it. When you look at his stats. Prosser being our 7th or 8th guy makes more sense than Friedman. Friedman you could count on one hand how many nhl games he has. He’s young, should be playing and has little upside. Prosser is a vet, been around along time and can sit awhile before being inserted.

I believe, placing Prosser in the line up was AV’s stern message to defense.

Ghost had it and none of the other Flyers did
- Dkos


true. the only reason i was asking is because they all just played last night. so if you're assuming the flyers are going to have a covid scare because of this, why weren't his teammates part of it as well?

the flyers weren't playing games against other teams yet with ghost at least.

Of course teams are going to try and beat him wide. So far not much luck. Despite subpar mobility he finds a way to seal guys off.

I mean on the cycle -- his marks like to lead him out to the half wall.

Flyers don’t make enough contact to spread the virus?

Uh oh, Zajac out today for devils due to covid related reasons. We could be in trouble
- arichardson22


Nothing to worry about. If it was directly relevant to him having it, he would have been added to the protocol list. Im thinking its something else, possibly family related

I think you're making that into more of a specific method of attack against Braun. It is a frequent tactic for teams who play against man coverage to draw defenseman away from the net.

Not going to beat you up, but Hayes has 8 pts in 8 games, is a +2 and is 2nd on the team in shots. I can't wait to see what he does once he starts playing better.
- jd250


He has lost his share of coverages on some games and been too casual with the puck. Not his best hockey. His point production is fine but it doesn't mean a free pass in aspects the team needs him to do better in with Couturier out. To his credit, Hayes himself has said he can play better.

Flyers have done well scoring goals and the puck for the most part has been going in. They've kept the puck out of their net at a decent rate with how much defending they've been doing. Mostly due to goaltending. If they keep playing the way they have and the goal scoring goes south, they're in big trouble.

Hayes played only 2:05 ES TOI in the 3rd. That should give you an idea how well AV thought he was playing.

You're right but it was not just Hayes. It was the entire line along with Voracek and JVR.

Thinking of Hexy as a GM candidate for the Penguins makes me...uncomfortable.

What do you make of the Ghost + for Yandle? The Philadelphia Flyers have been looking for a trade partner for Shayne Gostisbehere since the offseason. It’s possible they may have one in the Florida Panthers.

NHL Rumors: Flyers could be a Keith Yandle landing spot

Alain Vigneault is familiar with Keith Yandle from their time together with the Rangers. According to Jimmy Murphy of Florida Hockey Now, this potential Gostisbehere swap.

In the article it says that Florida is prepared to eat some his salary and Flyers would give up Ghost and picks?

The market has been a lot more fun than around these parts lately that's for sure. I added a relatively small position in AMC earlier in the week.

Konecny had 4:20 of ice time in the 3rd period. Voracek saw 2:50 of ice time in the 3rd period. Those are the facts.
