John Tortorella will not be making himself available pre-game. Often, he will just text PR the goalie and any lineup changes.

We are trying to get an assistant coach and a player.

Has Andrae played any sort of hockey since his call up?

If Jett stays all year do you see Cates being dealt?

Sounds like he may still a healthy scratch? Is there any reason to keep him with the Flyers now that they are home?

The Phantoms play tonight.

He needs to learn the "culture". Or Torts feel they are too small on the blueline adding Andrae and subtracting Johnson. Seems silly considering Johnson is not overly physical, fast, and basically can just chip the puck up the boards.

Thanks Bill

Regarding Jett :

But I can tell you – and what I’m passing along in terms of the insider nugget – is what the Flyers are debating. And which is what a lot of teams end up debating at this point is what if we, isn’t it so much better to have our control over his development process, as opposed to just handing him off to Guelph or the OHL and saying, ‘Here, you develop our star talent that we’re looking for so many big things for.'”

It sounds like they are building a narrative in the media to keep Jett.

The PR around this kid has been unbelievable. He’s the youngest in the draft (to justify the pick), he had a great camp, when he didn’t (to justify him making the team, and now this to keep him

They’re centering him with talent. Outside of the Brink PP goal in Edmonton where it looked like it was Jett’s goal. Jett hasn’t even been close.

The fans love Torts

The ice in that corner is gonna be a little iffy for the first 10 minutes of the period after they flash fry all the players.

The Fedotov reception was lukewarm 😆

Coots, Hathaway and Poehling?

His hair is especially high tonight for the opener

That stupid IBX sticks out like a sore thumb, which is the point, I guess, but it kinda ruins what are unbelievably great burnt orange uni’s. 🔥🔥🔥

Did they sing “oh Canada”?

Wow! Michael Buffer! He is not a cheap hire.
