Im just glad to see Eric Johnson isn't blocking any of the kids. At least Andrae is making some bank for his 4 game stint in the pressbox.

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

They both wear orange, black, and white

One’s got a small flash of gold and a cartoon, and the other looks good.

Maybe he's comparing his play vs Coots. Not sure what's going on with him (besides age and injuries).
- Flyers_01

Some players just lose it fast. They have very little choice but to play him and see how it plays out.

Makes no sense to call up Andrae just to park him in the press box. Why not just call up a minor league vet instead?

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


Even if they did , so what? Torts approved both hires. Despite the title Jonesy is in charge of kissing babies and shaking hands, that's it. On top of that there's been no indication that he isn't in lockstep with Torts. I have seen no indication that Briere has any power or influence over Torts, maybe the Draft but nothing to do with the roster or game days.

Have either of them sent a personal letter to season ticket holders?

Andrae had a great camp, give the kid a shot. Torts is infuriating the majority of the time with his stubborn decisions

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.

I'm judging after following him pretty closely pre and post draft. I just never thought he was that impressive coming up.

Wins the Hobey Baker and is rated a top 15 NHL prospect for some reason.

Yes and no. I think they know Zamula sucks and just signed him to be Michkov’s friend. They have stated numerous times that Drysdale is going to be a project. The concerning part is the love of Seeler. If you know Drysdale needs a lot of work they should have gotten someone better to carry him around for the next couple of seasons.
- psuhockey

It is actually the love of Seeler-like players. There is only one Seeler, but there hundreds of Seeler like players...

You have a crystal ball? What if the Flyers turn the second round pick that they got from the Ducks into a stud?

2014 huh? So lets think about who are some 30 year old players who play in the NHL who played in the OHL.

It will be her word against 8 players on something that allegedly happened 10-11 years ago. Should be interesting.

I was going by them being 19 in 2014. (Just based on her age)

You may be right.

Yep. As I’ve said before, they’ll never be allowed to keep playing once they’re accused. Careers over if they’re implicated in this.
