I don't disagree but people need to stop pinning the success of this organization on 1 (frank)ing player being in or out of the line up.

Couturier
Provorov
Gostisbehere
Konecny
Patrick
Hagg
Weal
Laughton

Thats almost half the team 25 or under. They're all playing big roles. I suspect Sanheim eventually will be too.

The know it all's whining about Sanheim and now told you so'ing about Konecny. It's annoying as hell.

I'm going to continue to whine about Sanheim. there is NO reason why the kid shouldn't be playing 20 mins a night in the AHL

Yes exactly, they have won 6 out of their last 7 to get into the playoff picture and people still want to complain about why Sanheim is not in the lineup or why he has not been sent down. Everything will be fine why can't we just be happy the team in general is playing well and are only 1 point behind Columbus now for 3rd place in the Metro. Who would have thought that in early December!!

Bingo...so much to like about this team right now!

Couturier in the rocket & selke races . Giroux & Jake bouncing back. Provy & Ghost look legit as a top pair. Konecny and Patrick are finding their groove.

I'd prefer that as well but if Hextall didn't have his reasons, I figure he'd be sent down by now.

Lots to like including solid tending. I'm confused about sanheim but he was quite inconsistent out there which is understandable. Maybe they think he's better off working on things at practice for now. Who knows. The org is incorporating lots of young guys while trying to get the team into the playoffs so that those young guys can start learning what that's like. They need to start becoming a perennial playoff on the road to contender.

The best part about these wins is how much it pisses off the haters.

me and 4 of my buddies were looking at tickets, and I can't say I have 300 dollars laying around. They agreed. We were sad.

100% agree with all of this. Sanheim is just 1 player. Of course we all want what's best for his development but it doesn't trump a winning team.

True. But I still think he's better off playing 20+ minutes a game in LHV than sitting in the Cote suite

Yeah. Part of the path is making this a consistently winning contender again. Guys like provy kony hagg and a bit for ghost all need to learn what the playoffs are about and then how to win a round and then on from there. It's not linear progression to the final etc but it has to start there.

Exactly. The success of the Flyers and Sanhiem playing in Lehigh as opposed to not being played at all have nothing to do with each other. I'm not really sure why that's not getting through to people.

The goalie rotation from here on out will be interesting. There’s no way anyone could have a sense on what will happen there, except Neuvirth’s next impending LBI

Wishing you Eagles fans good luck tonight. May the better team win and move on and finish this off in 2 weeks! Going to be a great battle between the two teams this evening.

All kinds of offensive holding on that play. Refs are going to hand this to the Pats. Sigh.
