As always, Thanks, Bill... Let's Go, Flyers... Fly Eagles Fly... Happy MLK Day to all.

Hopefully Coots and JD return to the lineup... they go back to a 12F/6D Roster once again... and Atkinson keeps the monkey off his back.

I like your optimism 👍

What’s the over/under Hayes scores?

Also, watch out for Thomas, guy is having a beast of a season: https://www.nhl.com/blues...yer/robert-thomas-8480023

I agree. As always, I enjoy your positive takes. Keep the train moving boys. No letdown tonight.

Hayes will score a hat trick and will don a gauthier ducks jersey when he takes his curtain call for being named first star….

... And will wear #6 in the game, in homage to Bundy... who recently acknowledged that Hayes IS indeed a Good Man.

Just glad I can be of service. 😊👍

Still do not understand hoow Frost draws a struggling rookie and a knuckle dragger and Laughton of all people draws first line. That right three is what is wrong with Tortorella. But at least everyone will play hard.

Why didn't they bring an extra forward on a 3 game road trip?

Laughts as the first line center. LMFAO! Yeah, this team needs a couple of real centers to be taken seriously if that's the best ya got.

Edge of Philly Sports, which I never heard of says Torts made TK the captain? Anybody hears this ?

They are probably just getting snowed by Evil Gritty, who posted that a few days ago.

“I’ve been waiting for him [Konecny] to show me through his actions that he could lead this group of men. Did you see him conducting that train? This was an easy decision for me.”

John Tortorella on naming Travis Konecny as Captain

Just sayin'

It’s a quote huh

That wouldn't be the first time some legitimate outlet has been snookered by him. LOL

Actually, looking back, I think Evil Gritty reposted them. But either way....."did you see him conducting that train?"

Seems legit right?

RP also has the better wingers.

I saw some chatter on that in bleacher report but I expect it’s fake news.

I would also have promoted frost just to see how he makes out with better wingers. Heck I’d advocate for him getting an extended look there. I bet you he’d do well. Regardless, we will need to get some centre talent in here asap through draft and trade. I had stated that we should spend both firsts on dmen, but that has changed with JD in the fold. I could see DB supplementing the draft with a trade to bring in a young prospect who’s already at the nhl level.

If he was named captain, you can cross off trading him. They wouldn’t make that decision if they didn’t see him in the long term plans

If you believe the possible burner account that called the Gauthier situation, TK won’t resign with the Flyers. Same with Hart and Tippett. If that’s the case, he will absolutely be traded.

I don't know if that rumor is true or not but I never thought for a second that they were going to trade Konecny.

I have never seen a more dedicated poster in my life. Cliff is on here every day for 12-16 hours.

We need to recognize his dedication. I would like to name February 1 as the official MJL day going forward. Would like to get some feedback from others to see if this is something we want to recognize.

Maybe Bill can even dedicate a blog to him on that day.

that would be interesting if true
