Did he steal your lunch money? What’s the beef?

Apparent Provy didn’t do warm ups because of his religious beliefs.

Ya I just saw it. Can’t say I respect his decision, but it’s his to make I guess.

I don’t agree with him but if someone is going to persecute him for his religious beliefs is that any better than what he did?

I don't understand. How does this fit in? He can't warm up but he can play in the game?

I don't get it. I started watching 5 minutes into the game. What's the issue here?

Much like when he wouldn’t answer the Russian/Ukraine questions…I don’t agree with it, or his stance but everyone is entitled to opinions. I don’t cheer for Provy because he’s a smart articulate guy or because I think he’s a decent human….he’s a Flyer, it starts and ends there.

I was just responding to why someone was going off on Provy.

Good for Hayes. Nice game from him. A lot of plus in his game with some minus to go along with it.
- Letterkenney


Agreed. I'm not a huge Hayesie fan, but he has exceeded my expectations this season. He has been pretty consistent overall. I'd love for him to keep it up and somehow a team goes for him at the TDL.

My understanding, which is from a 5 second clip with Ashlynn or whatever her name is, is that he wouldn’t wear the warm up jersey. I tuned into the game a few minutes in.

Thanks, I googled why. Plenty of thoughts but I'll keep to myself.

Flyguys 5 points out of a playoff spot! Here they come! The tankers are gonna be pissed!
- Phillywhiteout


Haha yes! The horrors...they are actually trying to compete and win hockey games! They are not only a bunch of thugs stuck in the 70s, but they are not doing what their fans want and that is losing games on purpose.

There's plenty of other teams out there to cheer for! Funny how most on here bash the Pens for tanking over the years but now we want the Flyers to do it. Sorry but it's not going to happen.

So if Fletcher trades Provy for a 2nd rd pick, does he get criticized for such a return?

Hayes is raising his trade value. Keep it up, hazey, and you can escape Torts and his need for you to be consistent on D

What is amazing is that a guy who had a rep for poor conditioning never missed a game and produced throughout. Plus he can (could) no doubt skate like the wind.



RISTO with a shortie. OMG I am going to play the lottery tomorrow.

He neve got hurt becaue he had that extra layer of cushioning to keep him safe. He may be a pioneer in the sport....
Maybe he does get a HOF nod foe that

Seriously though, he was a hell of an athlete but he did play with far superior talent than Roo got to, and I'm not a Roo defender. It just is what it is. Had Roo played wing with Crosby just imagine how deadly that line would have been, no matter who the second wing was.
I hate Crosby but damn it I can't deny how good he is. He could carry anyone and make it look easy

to be fair other than the powerplay they virtually never played together. crosby has always been beyond particular with his linemates.

With the social outrage, I just figured any compensation would be appropriate. Heck, I would think Fletcher would deserve another year if he dealt with this Provy situation swiftly. Curious to see what happens.

Doesn’t matter. He shouldn’t be forced to do anything. We often talk about staying out of others’ issues, and I’m ok either way. Hockey is hockey, and politics are politics. He shouldn’t have to bow to others’ ideas. Drop the puck and let it be the end of the story.

It is not. Much love to the Flyers and Provy for a nice night of hockey.
