Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Practice Day, Protocol, Phantoms and More

Thanks, Bill.

If the other guys did not test positive , they would all essentially be back for Thursday’s game except for TK correct?

Thanks Bill.

Nice tribute to former Penguin Jaromir Jagr.

Not anyone who entered protocol on Friday (Lindblom, Laughton) or Sunday (TK).

That second Wisdom goal.

Jaromir Jagr.

Prettiest skater I've ever seen. He just flowed like liquid out on the ice.

Absolute, pure sniper.

And the hair, how can you forget the hair? International super-mullet. Helped end the cold war, that mullet did. Beautiful.

Loved watching him put the kibosh on the Bryz and Hartsy clown show in the room.

Jags was a pure professional and absolute superstar.

Him Giroux and Hartnell was easily my favorite live of the 2010s

Wish jagr would’ve stayed one or two more years but understand.

Europe s version of gorde

Jagr and his flowing mane of beautiful hair really looked good in orange and black

I wish we got to see more of him playing here

Thanks, Bill. Part of the fun of hockey is watching teams bring in the old star veteran thinking something magical might happen. A lot of times it becomes just another past the prime player (Nash, E Stall) or worse (us with Adam Oates or Lecavalier), but when it works, it can make watching sorta wondrous. I thoroughly enjoyed every time Jagr stepped on the ice in a Flyers uniform. It was awesome.
I remember the first time Pronger stepped on the ice...it was like all the past six or seven years of not being confident our d-men really could stop someone and turn around and just intimidate on the power play were washed away.
And as much as it's hard to compare years of watching the Broad Street Bullies or the Legion of Doom take the ice, I honestly got the same feeling watching Forsberg suit up with Gagne by his side and center the top line, foot problems and all.
It's a wonderful part of sports...

Lol, his hair was short as a Flyer.... the salt & pepper beard took center stage.

Forsberg was my favorite flyer from the time he was drafted. It was bitter sweet to have to ship him off for Eric lindros, but watching lindros play and dominate the ice was a thing of beauty.
Needless to say I was ecstatic when foppa came home where he belonged. I wish his foot could have held up longer because it was amazing to watch him play the game

Wish jagr would’ve stayed one or two more years but understand.

That loss to Jersey in the next round was beyond disappointing. Especially not having G on the ice for the last game

This is shaping up to be really unfair for the Flyers if they have to face the Bruins in Lake Tahoe with barely any practice time and multiple players out because of Covid. The league should do the right thing and make the Rangers play in the Flyers place.

Aren’t they practicing today?
Looks like not today but tomorrow, there is more than enough time for them to be prepared .

Interesting. So is there a set Protocol for time away for someone who has been exposed? Ie test clean after 8 days or something?

Very happy to hear that it’s possible that these are exposure issues and not positive tests. Simply for the long term health of the guys.

Loved jagr. Had we been better drafting and the rangers not messed with the lindros trade, we could have had jagr, lindros and foppa. Haha

I’ve been thinking this as well. Haven’t practiced and will have a game, while Boston hasn’t missed a beat. We already have trouble with them, now there’s potential for a blowout on a national stage.

Hope they rally and beat them, but seems unlikely.

Especially after winning game 1 of that series. I was shocked how they fell apart thereafter.
