I get that. But, again, as important as the process is, it doesn't make a difference if you're not producing on the scoresheet. I know CF% and PDO, but he needs to be outputting tangible results.

And again, he played a good game "excluding the late penalty." Imagine if we had lost the game 3-2 on a weak goal, I don't think the mantra would "Elliott played a good game excluding the late goal," it would be more damning on Elliott blowing the game.

I agree with you on this but the issue is what is the alternative? Right now Weal is the best choice. Doesn't change that to be a better team, they're going to need more production.

Has there been any update on JVR's timetable?

I think it was 4-6 weeks from the Colorado game, so 4 weeks would be Saturday and with him just starting to skate again I would probably say he'd be back by the next home stand at the earliest

oh what a night

He looks like one of the kids the Flyers visit at the kids hospital...even without the helmet.

Weal is vanilla. But not the premium brand vanilla - he's the store brand vanilla. But not store brand vanilla ice cream - the store brand vanilla frozen yogurt. The reduced fat kind. He'll do in a pinch but as soon as there's something better available that low-fat fro-yo is going to the back of the freezer.

ooooh, I didn't get it. To me he has always been whipping boy #1 in here.

I'd normally agree but I think Weise is right up there so far this year. Really, there should be whipping boys for D, F and G.

That would bring us to the next home stand so that makes sense

Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Start Road Trip with 3-2 Win in Anaheim
- bmeltzer

I felt like the Flyers played a good game for the most part but here is my fear about the road trip and the first game back at home.

Ducks (W)
Kings (W)
Sharks (L)
Yokes (W)
Yokes (W)

Within our next this road and and first home game, we play bad teams outside of San Jose. We should go 4-1. I fear this will save Hakstol’s job. These would be fake victories. Only the kind that would do this team damage down the road by staying the course. Hakstol has been the same guy since he’s been here and his system isn’t working.

Keep in mind, we always struggle against the Yokes for some reason but right now, I could see us getting the job done at a time we probably shouldn’t...

1) Please use the correct term "frogurt."
2) I agree with your premise, but disagree with you overall because of #1.

Record vs West
2-4

Record vs East
3-3

I'm not so worried how this trip goes as it's against the West. Make hay in the games against the East and they'll be fine.

Patrick with a timely game winning goal.
Of course protecting a 1 goal lead late, the PK does what it does.

hmmm...despite being a generic "dessert" it seems a little too fancy with the blondie stuff mixed in

That's how they got back in it last year.

The problem with Weal is that he's got all the fancies in the world that indicate he's playing well, which when watching him you can see. He's getting chances for both him and his teammates but the chances are not being converted.

I think Weal with another gifted offensive player would result in more finished opportunities.

so who all is a part of #TheBoycott?
