They probably should pick up a vet forward on the cheap. They're kind of running out of options until some of these guys start coming back. Lindblom out all year. No real timetable for TK and Patrick. Seems enough to warrant some sort of move for me. Add Raffl, Laughton and Pitlick to the equation and you're asking a lot from your AHL call ups imo.

For most of these folks here I think they enjoy the bad times and it's the successes that upset them.

worse hits don't even get a minor call. I can't believe this kid has a roll in the NHL a 6 foot 164 pound wrecking machine just running around head hunting. Can't believe it was a game misconduct....simple embarrassing. Consistently inconsistent. While i am not mad at the boro to konecny hit. there was head contact. While a second...1 whole second late full/high speed after two strides farabee the wall lays the smack down. Yeah two minutes fro interference should've been the call.
- Peter Richards


Its not the same. Konecny hit was a little late but ot was a hockey play. Farabee to a run at Perrault who had not touched the puck for a good while before getting leveled. An injury occurered and the decision was made at the tefs discretion. The correct call was made.

I wasn't able to see the game but I did see the replay of the penalty. I agree a call should've been made there. Doesn't excuse Farabee as you said. I think this is just an overflow of frustration for Farabee. I think he's finding adjusting to the NHL frustrating that he's not scoring as much as he would like. Some more AHL time would help him but not really an option right now.
- MJL


I conveniently turned the game on right before this whole sequence happened

Its unfortunate and you can for sure sense the frustration from Farabee. I'm sure seeing a teammate/friend diagnosed with cancer is another frustration he's experiencing too

I thought a lot of the callups did fairly well. NAK, Vorobyev looked good. I think they will be fine. Raffl should be back soon and i wouldnt expect Laughton to miss much time. Maybe week or two

Only worrisome part with Laughton is groin injuries can linger.

Yup. It's unfortunate that Perrault got hurt as I don't believe that Farabee acted with intent to injure. But he made a stupid play, something bad happened, and now he, and the Flyers, are going to pay the price.

This is the normal ebb and flow of a team like the Flyers. Probably (?) a playoff team but not a legit cup contender.

It is what it is. Hard to get excited about and hard to be disappointed.

I think the Flyers need to make a push to fix their lineup. For me it's more than just calling up more kids from the farm. Before it's too late and they're back to not quite good enough for the playoffs and not quite good enough for a generational talent pick.

it was a second after he passes the puck (maybe 1.5 who knows. watch the seconds on the clock from when he passes to when he was hit.) I also do not considered getting up, taking two strides to be taking a run at a player. I mentioned the konecny hit bc others brought it up. there was an injury on that play as well. I said it at the time i was fine with the konecny hit. What i was pointing out is, i have witnessed many other hits to be more dangerous, later, boarding and or charging that are never even called.

It was still a stupid, selfish play. If he doesn't do it, then there's nothing to be consider.

And waive Stewart. He cannot play at the NHL level, and injuries have unsurprisingly forced the "13th forward" into an every night role.

Probably because the Farabee his is substantially later than the TK hit and the TK hit was more of an in the flow of the game type hit while the Farebee hit was more targetted.




- opeth_pa


Yes, the Farabee hit was much later.

Yup. A brain dead easy move to make, but it won’t happen. Inside baseball.

The only head contact was their two heads colliding when Boro hit him in the chest.

Farabee's hit was very late and very dangerous because the player had no expectation of being hit that long after moving the puck. We will be lucky if Perreault doesn't have a concussion. Yes, you don't have to be hit in the head to get one.

It was like the Neal hit on Coots in 2012 without the jumping.

I wanted Neal to get 5 playoff games, so I can't complain if Farabee gets 1 or 2.

I was thinking the same thing, actually.

I wonder if this will make all Winnipeg fans say they will never want Farabee on their team because of 1 hit.

similar yes, but neal's hit was two or three seconds late with more of a run. IMO
