Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Fail to Close, Succeed in SO; Phantoms Weekend Sweep

Wade Allison's injury struggles are becoming a cruel joke at this point.

Hopefully Allison sat for precautionary reasons

Jim Montgomery. Has his off-ice life in order again and did a good job in Dallas.

Guess you can’t lose them all.

The former flyer connection doesnt hurt.......

His more in tune with how the game is played today based on your familiarity with him?

I credit him with getting buy-in from the Stars in forging what eventually became a Cup finalist under Bowness; so I'd answer that question with a yes.

Numbers 48 and 49 are hard to tell apart on the teevee. Crew last night went on a long rant about how Frost has been moving his legs and winning board battles. I think it really was Cates they were mistaking for Frost.

Don't think so.

Yeo keeping Sanheim off both PP units again was outstandingly bad coaching. They're not doing Attard any favors throwing him out there without any real practice time, and Provorov has proven over many years to be in over his head trying to run a unit from the top of the OZ. Sanheim should be there, and Provy would be much better off playing the right side where he can think less and shoot more.

Nope. It was Frost. Cates played well, too.

It's quite clear at this point that Morgan Frost has been anointed the new whipping boy for the HB torch mob.

That line looked engaged and active. Frost does seem to be coming out of his shell. Tippett seemed to be motoring all night and has good chemistry with Hayes… and an inch here and there he could’ve had multiple points. Just keep letting the kids play please.

once it was Cates, but Frost continues to win battles and make plays, on both sides of the ice

Tippett yes but Hayes has looked good with all, even JVR.

No no no. Didn't you see Risto going down and laying flat on the ice like a fallen tree to block a pass next to the net?

Wade Allison is day-to-day. Took treatment today. Possibly could play in Wednesday's must-win road game against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Yesterday, he took a couple hard hits, including one of ex-Flyer/Phantom Andy Andreoff. Had back spasms and was generally in discomfort.

But it looks like it's nothing serious this time.

I was at last night's game at MSG and Tippett stood out. I expect good things from him. I know the Flyers want a better draft pick and losing games actually helps in the standings, but it was nice to beat the Rags on their home ice.

I am on the record saying Hayes is a good 3C and a passable 2C for a bit, he is currently proving me wrong. If this is the real Hayes, he is a solid 2C. I stand by the comment that Coots is a solid 1C, still think you need that high end 1C, or wings that are outstanding at driving play with speed and skill

Who hasnt played well with Hayes? I feel like Hayes doesnt get the credit he deseves because he isnt as flashy as some other guys but he has very good. He holds the puck well, creates space and finds his teammates. He just gets it done. You just dont see him lose the puck often.

Hayes has been okay but that top line with Farabee playing center is not very good.

ENJOY
