So basically, a wasted year in development.

Flyers should have offered money to Putin on a one year contract. Dude scored 10 goals or something in a game.

Easily my favorite part of the Sanheim article:

“He’s been really good in the sense that he’s recognized that he can’t do that,” Gordon said. “Being up front with him and him being up front with us it’s like, ‘These are habits I have and I know I’ve got to break them.’ We’ve tried to be patient with it. Even as a rookie, he’s not the worst offender.”


He's far from it.....*cough* Brennan and O'Neill *cough*

Sanheim has really been even better than anticipated defensively. He's essentially used as a shutdown d-man next to Morin, seeing much of the difficult matchup minutes, lots of PK time, and not so much PP time on the inconsistently deployed second unit. Though oddly Gordon has been using Sanheim in this role but when the last few minutes come around with a close lead, often benches him. But his reads and work down low, his active stick, his ability to transition efficiently have all been developing quicker than I thought.

I will say though, I hope it isn't the organizations long-term goal to see him, like Ghost, as a full-time RD. He's not a pure shooter like Ghost. He looks less effective offensively (and he's still as effective as anyone on that blueline) on the right instead of the left, where he can pinch and cycle easier along the boards on his forehand, walk the puck easier, pass easier. When he gets spot chances on the left, his game really opens up. I think Sanheim at RD is an 80% Sanheim.

Oh the amount of butthurt on ESPN's Facebook NHL Power Rankings from Pen's fans is hilarious.

So apparently Streit has a shoulder injury. Hopefully Ghost is ready to go Weds.
