ND had a pretty good game. And damn right he made a great play getting back and using his stick to break up that cross ice pass.
- MBFlyerfan

It's only 3 games to sample, which makes it pointless either way, but that 4th line has been solid for those 3 games so far.

I laugh every time they say the PhD line because I know it triggers the crybabies.

Zamula playing like mark Howe tonight. Trade frost and we win the cup.
- Hextall271

He did look really good out there tonight. He was very noticeable and all in good ways!
Now we just need it to be consistent and then we will trade frost and win the cup

Zamula really got that confidence boost after the goal for sure, but he also looked pretty good against Columbus. Only thing I would like is to see him fill out more.

Man if he could put on 15 or 20 pounds over the off season.... whew
So far he has played above my expectations. I didn't expect this out of him. Small sample size but the sample looks good ao far.
No wonder DB was raving about him

Here's a good narrative...

Torts is still a dinosaur, but no mention of his correct call to challenge that goalie interference and it was interference.

3 games in a row the 4th line has given the team energy AND spent most of their shifts in the OFFENSIVE zone AND haven't been a liability, but let's wait for 1 mistake and we can talk about it for MONTHS.

Probably not a single mention of ND's hustle and great defensive play, but you know worst player in the league....He LiKe To FiGhTs FiStS gO BoOm

What I miss?

Props to torts and I have no complaints about the 4th line. While I do want the kids to play, they works in progress and they he team still has to get through the season so it’s fine.

A long way to go on that pp. needs lots of work. Too much passing around the perimeter and too many rim arounds. Need a good entry, quick passing to open the box up.

I thought the second PP unit moved the puck around better but still both units stink.

Don't sleep on Zamula. Still needs to work on some poor turnovers but solid so far. Goal was a bonus.

People complain about all the kids not playing is because they know it won't happen, no NHL team does it and when they have tried it they look like an AHL team. Then they have more to cry about. Some people are built to complain, even if they have to dig really deep to find something.

Sports really is no different than current day politics.

Sit frost and they have an offensive out break lol

Yeah big 2, oilers are going to be fun

What rebuilding team scratches one of their best young players 3rd game of the season?

Very encouraging signs for zamula. We’re going to have to find some diamonds in the rough through this rebuild.

Kent Johnson?

Andrae still has that chance of filling a role, but his consistency will determine how far he will go.

Kent Johnson?
- Glak18

You want to take shots at people but are unwilling to answer a simple question. The coach is a jackass. Tonight was a missed opportunity. The Flyers played a strong game and a dominant second period. It's the kind of game that can get a player going. Get him moving forward. Can't do that from the press box.

Columbus SCRATCHED Kent Johnson THIS season, not injured, but healthy scratch.

Yeah, Kent Johnson is 10x the player Frost is.

But but I didn't answer the simple question...

Last time I checked, Kent Johnson isn't a team. I was unaware of that and you could've been more clear. Doesn't change that scratching Frost was pretty stupid.

Go flyers!!!

yea we won 2-0 without frost!

Always mental gymnastics....

Kent Johnson plays for COLUMBUS, I apologize you are unable to decode such a complex code.

It was one of the dumbest moves in the history of sports...says the expert after the team wins 2-0. Keep being you

He was invisible like the 2 last games.😆

Lol yea the announcers saying "PhD line" will get annoying but it is (and will be) great when the crybabies whine about it every day. It's a long season. We won't be that good no matter who is out there. I missed the game but caught some on radio when driving home. I see ND played less than 9 minutes. If a kid was in that spot, the whiners would complain about how they are being misused and set up for failure by the dinosaur. You can't win.

phillies going to the world series

One that holds its players accountable!

I’m sure he will be back in the lineup soon. I hope he bounces back and has a good year.

Frost had a solid preseason and two disappointing games to start the season. He is not the only one: Cates, Tippet, and Farabee have all been pretty quiet. Was it the right call to bench him? Not sure, they won a game but did they motivate Frost (or other players) to play better? That will take time to play out.

Until then, I’m happy for the fans. Winning the home season opener with such a weak team (defense) is good stuff!

It just didn't register what you were talking about. Apologies for that. As far as mental gymnastics is concerned, clearly I didn't say it was one of the dumbest moves in the history of sports. Keep being you. What I said was that the coach is a jackass for scratching one of the teams best young players after two games. There is also a bigger picture here. It's not a about the 2-0 win but I'm not surprised you don't get that. Keep being you.
