We got it. It’s not hard to comprehend. Tommorow....let’s review this again

Nah, you didn't. As someone was still arguing it. Feel free to contribute something of substance to the conversation though.

Refs doing their best to give it to the Pats.

I really don't know how they didn't call holding on that flea flicker. Clear as day.

Seems like NFL officiating gets worse and worse every year.

Flyers have been looking great lately. Happy to see the team buying in and playing a solid all around 60 minute game night in and night out. Knew they had it in them, the team is simply too talented.

Beats me, it's not a difficult concept
- BiggE


Right because that's the concept I was arguing against....

What exactly do you think Hextall's line of thinking is with Sanheim? Do you think he likes seeing the first player he drafted sitting in the press box? The GM has his reasons for keeping him up. He said something is going to break eventually and I trust he's got the situation under control. The sky is not falling with Sanheim's development.

I understand the frustration everyone feels. MIne is not that he isnt playing over Manning or MacDonald because he shouldnt be. It's that he is sitting in the pressbox and not playing 20 plus in Allentown.

Send the kid down.

By the TDL if the Flyers are firmly in a wild card position or in the 2nd/3rd place spot in the division, what moves are you making if you're Hexy. I know the team isn't in the position to win now or at least that's what most of us are thinking. But they have solid goaltending, their core players have been on fire and their young guns ( Konecny and Patrick) are all stepping up, not to mention the first pair being amazing. If I was Hextall I would try and add some scoring prowess of some sorts. I could definitely see this team winning a round in the playoffs and after that who knows what can happen.

No surprise there, big stop just made though. Need a good long TD drive here.

I get it...I agree with it. I've wanted it to happen since Thursday when he didn't get back in the line up. But in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal.

Didn't say the sky was falling, just that I think it would be more beneficial for the kid to be playing rather than sitting. I like Hextall a lot, but he's not infallible.

The weird thing is that it goes against everything Hextall has preached about how to handle young players. Its like they are waiting for someone to get hurt.

I think the further the Flyers go to cementing a playoff spot the sooner you will see Sanheim.

If that is the case we may be waiting a while. I dont see them cementing anything until the very last few games.

I would be surprised if he was included in a deal but what do I know I guess. Here's hoping they don't trade him

Apparently holding is legal in the NFL if done by the Pats OL. Also why is the President of the Patriots fan club doing color commentary for this game?

Nutter, are you lurking?

Been busy of late, almost all season. Didn't miss the dramatic stuff in the threads, so I just read Bill's stuff, maybe the Edmonton stuff, consistently but post infrequently.

Glad for the development overall. Didn't think they were all that bad during the 10-game winless streak, but wasn't sure they could make up the points as quickly as they have.

Elliott has been better than I thought he would. Couturier is doing even more than I thought, and i had already thought he would get 25. He's an absolute beast now. No turning back, as long as they give him wingers

The Sanheim stuff...I don't know. I would be playing him, but I am also one of those people who thinks you need to make the playoffs, so if you think Manning helps you win the games you need to do that, welp
