I've only seen bits and pieces of the 4 games so far, but I've been very underwhelmed. Too sloppy and too soft.
I don't care if they win vs the Devils, I just want to see some better overall play ... from everyone. |

Geez, the Stepan thing is getting ugly. Sather called Stepan a fool in a televised interview.
"I don't think Derek is gonna let this thing linger too long," Sather said. "I don't think he's big enough of a fool [to sit out a year]."
So, he's a fool, no doubt about that. Just not a big enough one to sit out a year.
And what player doesn't want to hear his GM badmouth his agent?
"It's unfortunate that Derek has decided to listen to his agent," Sather said.
Right, because every player should listen to the GM and not his agent. That's totally the way things work with pro athletes.
EDIT: Mr. Stepan? I have a call for you from a Mr. Gagne. He wants to speak with you about trusting your GM. Shall I put him on? |

Thanks, Bill. I can't wait for the roster to shake out so we can root for the team -- and not individual players.
Go Flyers! |

Be careful -- even hint that the 19-year-old might, just might, not be ready, and prepare for the thunder to crash and the lightning to strike
Because one more junior year is the worst thing ever for a young player who might, just might, not be ready |

I don't get the sense that Laughton is a favorite to make the team at this point. These next few games will be key for him.

Is preseason too early for you to break out the 'distress' avatar? Holy cow.

If he's eligible for some tryout games they'll
Keep him. But if he's playing like this send him down. I thought he'd be further along. Some games left here though |

It appears that he SHOULD be able to have a 9-gamer. Flyers should definitely be looking into the matter.
As it stands right now, I don't think ANYONE has that spot nailed down. |

I hope the brass was honest when they said a young guy would need to blow the doors off to avoid going back to juniors. |

Salary Cap matters could prevent a 9 game tryout if he's eligible for it. Dependent on what other moves the Flyers want to make. |

So, has everyone seen Sam Gagner's face?
Don't understand how you only get 8 games (and only 5 regular season) games for that. And how Kessel gets nothing so far for taking a second baseball swing at Scott (I'll give him the first one). |

That's why I said they should be looking into it, not they should keep him. If you have to keep Gervais/Rosehill in Adirondack for an extra 2 weeks to give Laughton his 9 games, so be it. They can even travel with the team if need be since there's no more recall waivers, they just will be sent down on paper. |

The Flyers catching a break, with no David Clarkson being available for the Opener.

They definitely are. So basically, every time he's on the bench and Kessels on the ice, just have a goon go after Kessel and he'll never get to play. |

So he'll get less than 5 games for taking a 2-handed swing at a guy who was engaged with another player and not even standing...sounds fair. |
