Thank you, Bill

Everyone so far is in pretty good shape, even Nolan.
Mentioning the Penguanos putting NINE guys on the shelf, dang!
This will be a SC with an asterisk.

Great job Bill. Thanks for keeping us informed.

I think teams that stay healthy (injuries and Covid 19) will have an advantage over those that do not. Having a good system in place for that and team buy in will be important. Sounds like a lot of thought is being implemented right away and the guys feel safe. That is good.

Next it will be how fast teams will get into their groove.

Tricky stuff. Thinking there will be a lot of success depended on just the structure or this mini camp. Glad we have some veteran coaches. Seems like they are on top of that.

There is This

From Jordan Hall, “Nolan Patrick told him this is the best he has felt in 12 months. Short runway to the playoffs, he will be ready for the start of 2020-21.

No no no no. I prefer to just act like his career is over.

Asterisks are like bung holes. Everyones got one. Win me the Cup.

hey Bill, I saw Flyers signed Mark Friedman to 2 years contract. I like Mark, but I think he is #6 Dman at best. Who do you think has better upside Kalynuk or Mark Friedman?

when will we know the team that won the lottery?

Kalynuk has the higher ceiling, at least offensively. But I suspect he's got a learning curve ahead of him off-puck that may be somewhat similar to Friedman's AHL progression from season-to-season.

After the play-in but before 1st round...so 2nd week of august.

Flyers lost and got JVR and A headache in Patrick 🤥

Thank you for that Bill. What about German Rubtsov? I saw him when he was in Russian Junior team and he had all the tools to became top 6 forward. But it looks that with all the injuries he struggles when he played with the Flyers. Do you think he has what it takes to play on high level in nhl?

Flyers vs Pens is the first exhibition game for the league. 7/28, 3pm

Chris Pronger via his Instagram said a big announcement is coming tomorrow. The picture he posted was of him in a Flyers uniform. If he was announced as assistant GM that would be pretty cool.

That would be awesome.

He and Jagr probably have had the biggest (positive) impact on this team in the shortest time. Even though we only had Pronger for one full season, he was still a fantastic treat.

Has there been any confirmed reports of TV channels will be airing games? I assume every single NBC-owned station, but could be wrong.
