I had no issue with Romo until yesterday when it seemed he latched onto Brady and Belichek's jockstraps.

we are winning games. sanheim is gonna play heavy minutes in the A. whats all the fuss about?

That is why they haven't put him back in. Don't fix what's not broken. We are 7-0 with Goulbourne in the lineup. 1 loss last week vs Rangers Goul sat.

I have a feeling with Leier still around and Goul and Lehtera playing decent on the 4th line , we don't see Weise in a Flyers uniform again. Guys days are numbered or at least it looks like that to me. Hopefully they can somehow unload him at the deadline

I feel like he's going to go down and dominate the AHL. Then everyone is going to say that being sent down was the right thing to do for his development. 'He needed to go down to regain his confidence'. BS.

The kid has proven he can play at the AHL level, there is nothing more to learn down there that he can't work on up here. Kid can play.

Haha what? He did not play well for the big club, take your blinders off. Kid was the senemth defenseman because he played like it. Go back down to the A and dominate and come back ready the next time you get called up.

Interesting stat of the day:

Since the end of their 10 game skid, the Flyers have played 21 games and are tied for first in the league in wins (15) and third in points (31) over that span.

I agree, I like Sanheim and I like what he can bring but he was getting caught a lot on plays and he seemed like he was struggling in his own end when he was playing. That's definitely a normal thing though, especially for a d-man as young as him in the NHL. Manning may not be a significant upgrade to Sanheim or even one at all in the 6D role but, the one thing he does bring is physicality and that is the reason why I think he is in the starting 6 instead of Sanheim right now. I could see Sanheim back for the playoffs for sure if they make it though or if there is an injury obviously.

So basically if they even went .400 on that 10 game skid instead of losing all 10 they'd almost be 1st in the division.

My bad I mean like actual wins not OT losses, but if they just got even 3 more points on that skid which would have been .400 they would be 2nd in the division, and 4 points back of the Caps. Crazy to think because there were definitely some winnable game that got away from them there. That skid was bad but overall the season has been decent for the Flyers.

TDL is rolling around, what do you do if you are Hextall and the Flyers are 3rd or 2nd in the division at that time. Would you add anyone or stand pat?

Yes with Ghost sitting out ill. Had it been Manning out instead Sanheim would have remained in (likely)

That's kind of impossible at the moment. But I agree.
