Frost is 24 years old, he is not a young kid anymore. He is expected to be a professional and show up every single shift. If he can't figure this out by now, he never will.

I would not say that. Take the pandemic? Take his shoulder injury that cost him a year. He had success last year as many pointed out. If we are still having the same convo when he’s 26vthen I would agree. I’m not there yet.

I guess I fall in the lonely camp of not seeing Frost nor Tippett as an integral part of the team in the future, definitely not 3-4 years from now.

I’m certainly not counting on it. I’m just hoping they come around. I have more confidence that Tippett remains, but who knows?

Lol Schwarber crushed that one.

How many infield hits does he get?

Had to be an interesting prop bet on that

Can really see the difference when a team is structured and is skilled, very much domination by the Stars

Good to be lucky and lucky to be good. If those are the type of goals Dallas gets, forget about it.

Flyers are having problems because the Stars are structurally sound defensively, they are doing what the Flyers did against the Oilers and Canucks. Problems is Flyers don't have the offensive punch to play low scoring games.

Update: As I submit...Brink dunks it

Frost scored a lot of his points against non-playoff teams. But you can look at Tippett's career high 27 goals last year and this what you'll find: roughtly two-thirds came against non-playoff teams. That includes Columbus (four goals), Buffalo (hat trick game), Montreal (four goals), the Ducks (one GP, one goal, two points) and the Coyotes (one goal, three points in two games).

Lastly, I don't want to hear "he only came on when the season was basically over". It was 2/3 of a season, not a month. Beyond that, was he playing in different games than the rest of the Flyers? No, he was not.

I don't care that Tippett -- or Frost -- did a lot more damage against high-GAA teams than ones that are stingy in allowing goals. That's the case for many good NHL players.

That Frost had two four-point games in the same season against Arizona, something no other NHL player did last year, is not somehow a negative. At absolute worst, it shows the ability is there. Torts should focus on unlocking the next step, as a good coach is supposed to do.

Brink could turn into quite the player now that he’s healthy.

It truly pains me to say anything nice about ..fle...flet.. feltchermort but Brink is looking like a grand slam pick.
I love that he wasn't even supposed to cradk the team this year but he is noticeable every single time he's on the ice

What a aelfless player and what a great hockey IQ on this kid

Kid has hands. There is no question. Hopefully soon he can be passing to cutter.
