Bill just made my day. I love everything about this article, but I smiled so hard at this line that sunbeams shot out my nose.

“Konecny's speed backs off opposing defense and he is fast emerging as one of the better young snipers around the league.“

If he hits 40 that makes him a bonafide sniper in this current version of the league.

If TK gets 40-50 goals in a season then I think the team will be damn happy with that.

I haven’t seen your sniper rankings yet so we can compare at the end of the season.

If your team needs a fight to get going you've already lost.

I read that a bit ago. Was (frank)ing around earlier said TK has more goals and assists than Kane. Gotta be a SNIPER. Here a few hours later Bill confirmed it.

I'm still going with Mike Bossy. 9 straight 50 goal season and several with 60 +. The only season he didn't hit 50 was his tenth. Hurt his back and missed games. Retired that year..

I assume you’re talking about this, which is really cool if it should happen.

interesting that he gave himself no chance at beating the record. but yes what i was referring to. it will be fun to watch him try.

and again arguable. if he beats the record he will be, just bc he will own the record.

Hagg hasn't been on the ice for a single goal against.

Net positive in both raw possession, chances and expected goals.

People citing the stats from last year need to recognize that he's been a lot better lately. Will it hold, especially if he ends up split up from Ghost? Not sure. But they need to ride this good streak out.

- Tomahawk


Hagg's 5on5 on-ice SV% is 100. That's not going to last.

Obvious reason is he is a young , cap friendly , legit low 5 or 6 dman.

Nah, Flyersbuyzz GM's know he sucks more then actual GM's.

Djoos went unclaimed and he's better than Hagg.

Just watch, Stewie gets us the extra point in a shoot out or defends a key player after a dirty play
- NC Flyers Fan


Not much of a defense if the dirty play has already happened.

How much cap space would the Flyers have accrued if they LTIR'd NoPa on the opening day of the season?
- mickel25


You don't accrue any cap space when you are using LTIR.

You’re right, the best defense is a good offense. However, if they’re stupid enough to do it, pay it forward. Guys are less likely to be stupid again. #old time hockey
