favorable schedule coming up for the rest of the month and not to bad in Jan. There is however some real test game between now and Jan 15, that is my date I believe. if the Flyers win against who they should and win 70-80% of the tough games, I wait a little longer before I go into rebuild. If they can't win the games they should and they can't compete against the better teams, don't fool yourself.

They play Pitt twice, Caps, Bruins, Rangers, Boston and Carolina all by Jan 15.

If they are healthy and show out during that stretch, they deserve more time.

side note- I do think some in the metro have their harder part of their schedule coming, took a quick look but it felt that way.

Hey man.. stop using math and facts around here! These folks don't like that stuff!
You're only allowed to base ideas off of feelings and emotions here.
Facts are the devil!

Why does the team's "best defenseman" have a -9 ES goal differential? His regular partner is +2, so he's up 11 on the team's "best defenseman".

http://www.naturalstattri...ines=single&draftteam=ALL

Sanheim has played 370 ES minutes with Risto. They have been on the ice for 18 GF and 20 GA. Sanheim has played 116 ES minutes without Risto. In that time Sanheim and his partners have been on the ice for 8 GF and 4 GA.

- Feanor


Also I think Risto he play not so good last 1 month. His Corsi fall to 4th, his xGF percent fall to 5th.

Saying that the team misses Jake is not the same as saying Jake > Atkinson.

Cam and Jake are two offensive-first players, one who shoots first and is good on the PK, the other who is an elite passer and puck carrier who makes plays at ES and is good on the PP.

The team really needed BOTH skill sets, but they ended up swapping one for the other and now they're still left missing a necessary ingredient.

That's the gripe that "Jake lovers" have with the trade. Not that Cam Atkinson is a pile of poop.

Not really. It was expected. They are without their #1D in Shea Weber as well as Carey Price. I would have expected some players to be better however I never expected them to be a playoff team without those two players
- xShoot4WarAmpsx


They basically lost their franchise goalie, their Selke #1 C and a top-pair D... off a team that wasn't even that good to begin with.

You could argue they're down two top-pair D considering how Petry's been a complete no-show this season.

Yeah, not so much about missing Jake as missing that playmaking transition element. On paper, I would argue it was replaced with Ellis, but that isn’t exactly working out yet. Lately, I have been thinking this could be good in the long run if some young Flyers are using the opportunity to gain experience and find with practice that they can carry the mail.

The only down note in the game. Right after his third shift of the opening period, Morgan Frost exited up the tunnel and did not return. It seemed unusual, as there was no apparent injury. After the game, Flyers interim head coach Mike Yeo said that Frost, who had taken a COVID test earlier in the day, had to removed to due COVID protocols. The team will know more about his status tomorrow.



But get the shot man get the shot. What test is even mostly used being that the PCR test will be discontinued.

This has nothing to do with getting the shot. Whether you are vaccinated or not, you can get Covid and spread it to others. The vaccine does not prevent people from getting Covid and experiencing symptoms or even death, it simply reduces the chance you will get bad symptoms when if you get Covid! If we truly want to prevent the spread of the virus, we need rapid testing for all people, vaccinated or not.

You need to look at who Risto was on the ice with when not with Sanheim, I think that will give you the answer. Stats NEVER tell the entire story!

That's step one.
Step two involves people then acting appropriately based on the test results. I have my doubts that a certain segment of the population will do that.

Some bozo on here tried to tell us all that why would they fire AV and it wouldn’t change anything.

Looking at you SSB!

- ClaudeFather

Uh oh, someone lost sleep last night

Actually what I said was, if you put a bullet in AV, they should put a bullet in everyone. Glad you feel like we’ve turned a corner now that we’re beating bad teams. Arizona, New Jersey and an injury riddled Vegas team. We’re world beaters now!!

They had a slow start to the season. They’re not healthy and didn’t even use their starter.

Clearly you did haha, you went on an incorrect rant but you are too ignorant to know who or what the hell was talked about. Keep making a fool of yourself.

You went on an incorrect rant about Laughton being way better Brassard and won’t admit it. Difference is, the proof has always been in the stats and current play.

If anyone truly believes we’ve turned a corner from losing to the 3rd seed rangers, the high scoring Avalanche and Cup Champions Tampa Lightning to beating our last three loser Opponents, god bless but you might be a bozo. A smart man actually needs to see more. Hahaha

Is this Yeo's job to lose or do you guys think they should pick up the pace in finding a permanent coach?

That was an argument with MJL, you are delusional. I may have chimed in. No one on here said we turned a corner, only that the process looks better but you cannot comprehend the conversations that are going on. Just try and do better.
