Lindblom has really been playing well. He has just been completely snake bitten. It's a matter of time until he starts potting some goals.

Playing well I’m not sure is accurate. Hurting us defensively for sure no.
Does some decent forechecking. But to state he is snake bitten makes it sound like he’s getting a lot of scoring chances and shots on net. From what I have been seeing he is not creating scoring chances or even getting quality shots on net. Actually you rarely hear his name during a game.

Seeing NAK claimed by Colorado. Is this true?
- Dkos

No worries, Patrick Brown was worth it.

It's not about maturity. It's about missing a full season and coming off of a major injury. Need to give him some time.
- MJL

Ok a different approach with you....
Just exactly how much time then?
10 games?
20?
30?
a whole year?
Just let me know when to see his greatness he displayed 2 plus years ago!!!

Good to see those two back in the lineup. Go get the 2 points!

Let’s go Flyers!

Really Awful-Kubel was supposed to be a SUPERSTAR like Frost, Patrick , JVR. Patrick Kane 🤡

Lindblom has been on the ice for a ton of scoring chances. Maybe pay closer attention.

Lindblom has been on the ice for 73 scoring chances for at 5 on 5. In comparison, Couturier 79, Giroux 76, Konecny 76, Laughton 74

Lindblom has registered 17 shots at 5 on 5. In comparison, Giroux 22 and Couturier 24

Ever hear the saying, “ Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”?

If a player is playing well but not finishing, are they still playing well?

JvR is not a LW but they keep going for it

On ice does not mean you are part of the scoring chances.

Seeing NAK claimed by Colorado. Is this true?
- Dkos

Yes - another asset gone with nothing in return to show for it.

Asset is a strong word...
Return of a bag of pucks was his only trade potential.

Do you mean RW? JVR has played mostly LW.

reporting states that a few teams "were poking around" on NAK -- there was interest - cf could have gotten a bag of pucks or a 7th round pick - it would have been at least something

#Flyers’ Nicolas Aube-Kubel has been claimed off waivers by Colorado.

There were a handful of teams poking around on NAK over the last 24 hours.

So yes an asset was given away for n othing in return - he has value to other teams

Those are some ugly looking lines. We'll see I guess. I wish they would have revisted the 23-13-11 line and maybe see if they could rekindle some of that brief magic while locking JVR in a broom closet somewhere..

It’s amazing to see the change in tone on Frost’s potential. He showed in his first call-up that he belonged based on his skills alone. Coming off a major injury that ate into needed developmental playing time and a team-wide sluggish Phantoms start means it may take some time to get back to where he was.
- Sublime55

how much time we going to give him this year, before he should be blowing the doors off to get back into the nhl? 20 games? 30?

i cant even recall one good scoring chance. PRob had one or two, but nothing stands out

I’ll take his chances and drive over what we saw from Patrick last year. They’ll start to come for Lindblom. I wouldn’t be surprised if the line shuffle with Hayes back might help a bit

hahahaha, and agree

What’s with this set that Jonesy and JJ are in? Same set as yesterday. Do they take it with them for away games? It looks like two folding tables.

Hate those penalties but I’ll take it.

hahahaha, and agree
- bradster

Haha face off violation pp.

Mac went down. Avs probably just need a warm body with NHL experience for a few weeks and they may not want to bring anyone up.

God knows the Flyers do that.
