Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 11/21/2022 vs. CGY; Phantoms Update

I'm hoping they can lose three more in OT/SO so their record can be 7-7-7.

Has there been any report on Konecny at all? I'm assuming Laughton has a concussion.

I am pretty confident that TK has a broken wrist. That is just my expert opinion from watching the play. I have zero additional data.

Something to do with a wrist or hand. The only thing I would say is that a broken wrist would be a pretty simple diagnosis with an X-ray. If it's that, why haven't they told us yet?

He’s got a second opinion with Ellis’ doctor

Maybe it's a multi layered wrist injury.

Then a third opinion from Atkinsons doctor followed by surgery from Couturiers doctor. So we will probably know by March that there will be an update forthcoming soon.

This is sad and funny all at the same time.

71 Max Willman - 13 Kevin Hayes - 38 Patrick Brown
20 Kieffer Bellows - 49 Noah Cates - 17 Zack MacEwen
44 Nicolas Deslauriers - 23 Lukas Sedlak - TBD (58 Tanner Laczynski or other)

Zamula demoted, but York was not promoted. It's unbelievable they think playing Seeler, Braun and Risto every night is the way forward.

York could definitely help PP2, which I believe hasn't scored a goal all season.

Good lord, this team has only one legit NHL line.

I can see a parade with that lineup.
A parade to a lotto pick.

Is it too much to ask for a top 3 pick? Is it??

TK is skating today.

I thought it looked like SL landed on his shoulder, but he could still have a concussion. Could be out till after Christmas if that's the case.

No update on Konecny or Laughton yet. The Flyers doctor has yet to see them to evaluate.

The race to the bottom is littered with bad personnel moves by a GM and coach. I approve of the decision process at this time. No need to change the trajectory of this season. Moral victories are highly over rated. Regulation losses this season are really the only prize this season. When the Flyers are good again (albeit it will be awhile) Fletcher will have his rightful place in Flyers history as the worst GM in Flyers history. At least, Farwell facilitated the Lindros trade. Chuck traded for Risto- OUCH!!!.

Agree. Farwell's trades on an individual basis were actually not bad at all from what I recall.

Let the arrogant coach continue to think he will win with the try hard slugs.

Just watched the Tortorella post game. He repeated several times that his main thing is figuring out which players will be part of the future and which players can't be. Isn't that a GM thing? Is he sending a message to fletch?

Do you guys think MacEwen would have been better off skating to the bench and grabbing a new stick?

In that case, McEwen, Brown, Sedlak, Deslauriers and Seeler must be part of the future. The Flyers future is glowing.

Flyers' injury status is shrouded in more secrecy than the Manhattan Project.

We will Fork that kid up too.

He's probably in-sync with the GM on this and implementing it (whatever you may think about it being right or wrong.) He's also probably sending a message to the kids that they have an opportunity to step up (again, whatever you may think about it being right or wrong.)

Well unfortunately in hindsight he was fleeced in that Lindros deal
