Surprising, hoping for the best. not overly optimistic.

I was hoping for Sam to get the start. I’m sure the team would like to finished the road trip at 2 1 and 1. Oh well. Maybe he’ll surprise me

Does this work for cell phone?

I use Brave browser for mobile and desktop and I don’t have those issues.

This is the way.

Internet has been more of less ad-free for me since I switched to Brave on desktop and mobile. It's basically just Chrome with a security layer.

He also had been benched twice for lack of backchecking:

I'm not thrilled with Drysdale but I'm also glad Cutter's no longer our problem.

Can't believe they ever thought they could center a "rebuild" around that twerp.

Maybe I'm leight but I just saw that quitter Gauthier got benched twice in his third game?

Why does this make me all warm and fuzzy inside? 😂

I'm sensing sarcasm. I wish the Flyers were centering a rebuild around Michkov, Gauthier and Buium. Instead of Michkov, Drysdale and Luchanko.

I only use my cell phone. I put 1Blocker on my phone and I’ve not gotten a single ad.

I was wondering what people were griping about since I put it on there before I found this place and then forgot I did it.

It’s free

No sarcasm when it comes to Cutter. My opinion has nothing to do with the squabble he had with management here. Just purely on his talent profile and the way he carries himself around the ice. Can't believe DB thought he was some future 200-ft 1C franchise player. Kid is just an Owen Tippett with brown hair.

Remains to be seen. I think he has a chance to be a lot better than Owen Tippett.

Worst thing for Tippett was to score those couple highlight reel goals last year that’s what he bases his whole game around

Based on all the times you have seen him play? Or all the scouting reports you have read?

The guy who’s played 3 games? You’re judging some kid after three games, and it couldn’t possibly be because what went down between him and your team’s management.

There's nothing wrong with a 28 goal scoring winger. Every team can use that.

Why? Cause one guy wears the orange and black, and the other doesn't?

Looks like it is becoming quite obvious that Jett is gonna stay with the Flyguys for the duration of the season. Is that what you are hearing Bill?

Whatever Tortorella wants, he shall get. Luchanko has undoubtedly played very well in two games against two very tough opponents, but there are still seven GP for him to go before the decision is made. Tortorella's wishes pull the heaviest weight in HO roster decisions where cap hit/CBA type of issues do not dictate it.

What a waste to choose Andrae as the call up and then not play him over some other players.

That Drysdale-Johnson pairing needs to be broken up. Easiest way would be inserting Andrae into the lineup since it seems he doesn't want to mess with York-Sanheim.

I don’t think he has played very well. Been ok. Not out of place.

That's kind of what I'm afraid of. That neither DB or Jonesy are strong enough personalities to push back against Torts.

Maybe he's comparing his play vs Coots. Not sure what's going on with him (besides age and injuries).
