Yup, and he may only be in the lineup due to injury. Complainers got to complain - bradster
Nate is in the lineup because AV wants him there, injuries or not. Amazes me people think otherwise.

Hayes & Ellis being re-injured in their first game back is an awful look, and certainly not bad luck or coincidence. Just ridiculous. - PLindbergh31
Was it the first game back for both?
You gotta pay attention to detail. I know exactly when in the season they were injured and I know exactly how many games they've played upon their return 'cause I pay attention to detail.

you may be right. But i want to think with hayes and allison in the lineup, Nate would be sitting. But we may never have a full healthy roster to find out.

Let me know when they get to the level of being the best in the league. You badly missed the point. - MJL
But that my point, they were not just a bad team last year, they were a laughing stock! It takes time to rebuild from that. This off-season was just a step towards building a better team. Unfortunately we have yet to experience what level this team is capable of because of key injuries. But even when Ellis and Hayes come back, this team may not have enough to contend for a cup. But they will be better and would have taken a step in the right direction. Hopefully when this season is over, more will be learned and then actions will be taken that constitute another step forward. The team is not going to blow it up, they will continue to build on the fly. Thus we just have to hope Fletcher makes the right decisions moving forward. |

If and when Hayes comes back, I would prefer Brassard at 4C over Thompson. I also hope that maybe Allison can get back, maybe have some rehab time in the AHL and then come up and play with Brassard. Maybe with McEwen, that could make an improved 4th line. - MJL
Maybe, but if the Flyers top 6 are not scoring, it really doesn't matter ... |

I said Tampa is playing their 3rd game in four nights. - bmeltzer
I know you did -- my point is if the Flyers lose to Tampa, who is playing for the third time in four nights does that take away the constant excuses that are given that 3 in four, 4 or in six etc.. |

Evander Kane due back 11/30. Straight up for JVR. Make it happen Chuck. |

I would not my breath on Allison, high ankle sprains are tough to gauge and come back from ... bummer for him but big bummer for the team this year, we really need his secondary scoring. |

you know he is only saying he expects a deep playoff run in order to criticize chuck. He is just setting it up. Hard to go from dumpster fire to 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs, but if you can take a big step forward would help. D has played considerably better this year, along with goalie.

Yeah, let's see him be healthy scratched once before anyone argues otherwise.

Hayes was 93 minutes and 42 seconds. - konalover711
Hayes played 2 games this season: Nov 13 @ Dallas and Nov 16 against the Flames in Philly.
Just pointing out how some like to alter the facts just to suit their narrative around here, even though this particular detail in this instance is for all intensive purposes intents and purposes just a trifling matter to some. |

No. Love Evander Kane. Would address the scoring woes.

No, just possibly the waitress(es). I'm guessing he's no Tiger Woods, like the most of us. |

he has a 3 team trade list. But it could be interesting. Dont love him having 4 seasons left on the contract, maybe you could get SJ to eat $1M of it? But he can score and is physical

I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.
Kane is a bad dude with a bad reputation. JVR is soft and streaky.
Both are gonna get their goals, and both are going going to cause you headaches and heartaches. I'll take guy who likes to smash skulls and stick up for his teammates if those are the options. |

be funny as hell if flyers were on that list.
Really depends how desperate San Jose is and how true the rumors are that circulate.

Well. This is different than the conversation we had this summer. Before we signed brassard. I said I would take brass over Nate. You ridiculed this. When not on my phone and on a computer I will look. Happened two or three days before we signed brassard. Was the start of you saying he was washed as a player. You continued to ask me what team brass was playing on.
So yes. This is a different response from before.
Looking, does anyone know how to look up old posts? i could only go back so far. - Peter Richards
You have the conversation inaccurately. It was not a conversation about Brassard over Thompson. It was about Brassard as a top 9 center option. I replied he was washed up and I was not interested in him as a center in the top 9. Not when they had Couturier, Hayes, Laughton and Frost was still a possibility at that point.

going to the game tomorrow night, while I would normally take winning 1 out of 2, we are going to need to win tonight and at least get a point tomorrow. If the Flyers get worked in SFL, my buddies at the game will be unbearable. |
