Well if it is for poor play TK shouldn't be first in line. Wonder if some kind of dust up between coach and player?
- Striiker


I would personally argue in the last 2 games as the sample tk has been one our worst forwards. He had 0 legs or fight in him. In others I at least see them trying even when they make the wrong read or bad pass. With tk it looked like he had completely given up.

Not saying he has been great by any means. Just others to sit before him; this is how you potentially get players to turn on you.

So...

TK is scratched

Coots to the IR, therefore another 2 weeks minimum

Myers returns to the line up.

Busy day so far. Who will we see first? Radcliffe or Morin?

Agreed, I have zero issue with the benching . *As long as it’s just a game or two tops

I think TK tweaked something in the game against NJ.
- MBFlyerfan


Yeah. Message could be sent by starting him on 4 th line. No need to not have his services. And think carsen gets a shot then. Make or break for Morin.

Morin is in tonight.

Coots ir date was retro active from the time he first went out. It was a move just to free up a roster spot. He technically will be eligible to come back in like 2 days but av said yesterday he was about 2 weeks away.

Av says tk is one the flyers 3 best forwards but also said 5 on 5 play from his top guys has been bad. Tk is the one paying for it today but there will be others he implied strongly.

So the third will be operating as the fourth minuets wise I hope.

In his interview it seemed more like it couldn't get any worse by playing than healed. About pain management for him

More likely than not.

Av also seemed to imply that the defense has been better and their defensive issues are being driven by the forwards more than the defenseman. Not absolving them but pointing to their breakdowns being the leading cause and its hard to disagree with that assessment

I had the same type of injury as Coots about a year and a half ago. For a few days the pain was excruciating and I was confined to bed. eventually I was able to get along just fine. That being said, I was terrified of the slightest agitation aggravating the ribs and once again being laid up.
I can’t blame him for being cautious. My god. It was awful.

Perhaps there’s an aspect of size and snarl they want for playing the isles as well? Tk certainly didn’t do anything vs them in the playoffs.

I bet Morin drops the mitts tonight.

Hit sumbuddy!!

We miss coots like crazy but take all the time you need bud.

Keep our head above water just like we have and we’ll be fine

Step one: Beat the team that has in recent years owned you and eliminated you from the playoffs last season.

Let’s go Flyers!

I'm going to make a very strange statement. I hate that Konecny is scratched. I also love it.

I agree. Glad to see the coach setting the tone early and holding players accountable.

See if it does anything. But these forwards have long needed accountability feel like this is the first coach to do it in 10 years.

If they don’t come out hard tonight there is no hope for this team.

I’ve been in Naples for 10 years and have never turned the heat on. Not once.

Lived my whole life in Philly before moving. The difference in quality of life is night and day. The only thing I ever regretted about the move is that I didn’t do it years earlier.

Do you really expect captain Clode and Jake to do what your suggesting?

Exactly...to get to where they want to go there’s a process ...this is just part of it.
