Perhaps there's a reason for that (and it's not for lack of trying)

No I can't think of any reasons.

In regards to Gostisbehere 2 years ago wasn't he also coming off the ACL injury and that played a little bit in the decision because he missed time in his development
- J35Bacher


I think you're right about the ACL injury. Ghost got called up for a few games, looked good then got hurt in the AHL.

I also overheard two guys at the gym mentioning they posted pics of hot chicks on their IG just to get more followers.

I think that's crazy. I don't understand why people want random followers. It makes no sense to me.

- VladDrag

I can't understand why people care if anyone follows them if they aren't generating anything more than ego from it.

It was from the strain of waiting on all those fairy dust AHL passes to get to him at the point that never came.

Just blew out his damn ACL.

I remember his first NHL game. He had the puck behind the net with nowhere to pass it and 2 forecheckers. He skated the puck straight out from behind the net, right in front of the net, and then had a passing lane.

At the time, I was freaking out because hockey 101 is you never put the puck in front of your net. The issue is that I was so accustomed to lower-skill defenseman that I didn't realize that the rule didn't apply if you had the skill and confidence to try it.

Wasn't that a Carolina game where he scored in OT?

Let's hope you don't become as obnoxious as some of the former lurkers who finally jumped into the conversations.

First week: Hey guys! I'm new. Been reading your posts. You guys are great and I can't wait to share my thoughts. I love the Flyers.

After that: Let me tell you guys what you don't know about hockey... EVERYTHING!

- mayorofangrytown



LOL...not likely. But I will disagree where I see fit.

Thanks for making my point.

Your point was that Couturier has been the Flyers best ES scorer ever since Berube got fired?

- JFlyers00


Provorov and Gudas played the last two games and are locks for the top 4. Why would they need to play again tonight?

I just hope there's less visiting fans in the section this year. It got bad when easy travel teams were in town last year.

They tried to last year and finally Ghost had had enough and just started playing the game that got him to where he is today.

IF the Giroux to wing experiment is going to continue, let's role with this tonight:

Konecny-Couturier-Voracek
Lindblom-Patrick-Giroux
Raffl-Laughton-Weise
Leier-Vorobyev-Vecchione

Sanheim-Ghost
Morin-Macdonald
Manning-Hagg

I agree, Sanheim should make the team on merit

but Ghost had a great pre-season a 2 years ago and got sent down.
Only got recalled because Streit was out.

Wish our #7 D was a veteran who was formerly s PP QB or offensive minded.
Not sure Manning/AMac should be teaching these kids. Timonen would be perfect.

No, he really didn't.
