He's* married to Brittani Prosser.

(*: Nate Prosser, that is—not Fletcher.)

Could use some big games from guys like TK, Hayes, and even Oskar this weekend. Tough back to back.

Thought tonight was Sanheim best game by a mile in his own end...he played physical the whole game and really looked good .

Interesting choice having Ghost and Prosser on the ice while killing a penalty with Sanheim in the box. Interesting choice having Ghost and Gus play in the same line up.

Travis Sanheim is so good. If we never drafted Provorov, Sanheim would be groomed as the number one. As thin as the defense is, you’d think he would log the same heavy minutes Provorov does. Give that kid that kind of respect.

Our fourth line is really good. Which is great news to show just how deep we truly are up front. I’m very much won over by Bunnaman. Laughton moves up and the line doesn’t skip a beat.

I’m watching Voracek on the PP and as good as he is, he’s gotta know when to shoot. I remember watching Mark Recchi in the same spot, on the half wall, who was also a great passer but if you give Recchi time and space on that right half wall with the left handed shot, you’ve gotta quick release that shot. It’s ridiculous that he passes everything away.

Also I love that COVID hasn’t effected New Jersey fans. They don’t show up anyway.

Fletch signed him out of college, extended him twice, grabbed him off waivers on two separate occasions, then signed him to the Flyers. He's basically played almost his entire career under Fletch.

Peter White could only wish his FIL loved him that much.

Sanheim is really good at the hockey. Good year for him to decide to be a number 2 defenseman. Hes going to get paid this off season those negotiations should be fun

Anyone else having trouble with the numbers this year?
We have Hayes, Lindblom, Ghost, Voracek, all lefties with #s ending in 3. If the 1st digits is obscured by the way they are facing, it's easy to mis-identify a player.

And then there's Ghost and Gus, 53 and 56. Jonesy even got in on the act, blaming Ghost instead of Gus for the 1st Devils goal.

Tk and Lindblom have been totally lost without coots

Prosser had a great Presser

5-2-1 and playing like poop but even the 2021 Stanley cup champs Col Av’s are struggling

The isles are going to kick our ass unless something changes quick

Simmer with his 3rd and the oilers have 3 wins, but hey mcd and D both lead the league in points

Colorado is 5-3 with a +10 goal differential. I would not say they are struggling in the slightest. They also play in a division with vegas and the blues. Depth of competition isn't the same as our division but that top is insane.

Hart was really good tonight. He still has another gear though. I liked that Prosser moved players out of the crease even after the whistle. I guess I am old school like that. Third period was the best period of the season thus far. 5-2-1 despite not playing well most of the time is a blessing. Team needs to build on that third period.

You are missing the sarcasm but a team that was anointed the one prior to the season was 3-3 coming into last night??? Just shows it’s early, I fully expect the Av’s to be there at the end

Said the same thing about the crease last night

Was just reminded the isles lost their last 7 regular season games last year then Covid and then they came on like gang busters. What a streaky sport hockey is. Flyers need to grind it out, play the system.

Ghost, zero points but I think this is some of his best hockey. He is really breaking the puck out and making good reads

Agreed. Big key is that hart could see the shots and was able to gobble up the rebounds consistently. How many times did he catch point shots etc. Keeping The crease area in order is critical.

One thing I am learning this year. I think Laughton is probably not an NHL level center. He is a really good middle six-bottom six winger though.
