Is moving those games a Comcast move or an NHL move?

Good question, but didn't Snyder work hard and long to create a broadcast hub at the Wells Fargo station, for the express purpose of having broadcast rights ? Who owns the broadcast, and who benefits from moving the games to ESPN+ ?
The other purpose was to make Comcast Spectacor/SportsNet/NBC more valuable, in having exclusive rights.

I'm thinking it's an NHL decision. All I know is I pay an extra fee to Comcast for the sports package just to watch the Flyers. Now more games are blocked. Do I get a partial refund?

It's worth searching out Lycksell's goal from Saturday.

He would be a better wing option than Bellows or Deslauriers or Willman.

I am reading that that idiot jack edwards is at it again.. made fun of Maroon's weight on last night's broadcast. Apparently maroon responded by making a donation to a tampa charity in support of those who face bullying etc in that clown's name .. well done..

Took me 5 minutes just to find the game on Hulu. This is not benefiting them the way they think it does.

I guess he was serious about getting Deslauriers more minutes. Not sure what he's done to deserve them though

cutter over point per game, leads team in points, they really need Cutter to hit his ceiling.

Kinda wild that Hayes is our leading scorer with over a ppg pace so far....

If we can flip him to a desperate team, with some salary retention, for a 1st or even 2nd i say take it. Cap dump and an asset! He may be one of the few players with value. At least one that I'd be okay letting go of.

Not a TK or farabee. Those are the core we currently have

We really really really need several of our picks to hit their ceiling. Cutter may be the best case scenario, atm. I hope he excels ans continues to grow his game, particularly as a C. We need immediate help there

Even though the NHL team sucks it seems like some of our better prospects are having good seasons so far.
Andrae, TyFo, and Avon have been solid while Cutter is playing exceptionally well in his new position.

Let's hope these kids hitbtheir ceiling or maybe even rise above it (at least until they get to the NHL and we ruin their development)

Probably in my best interest not to post this but I haven’t been banned in years and I’m a little sick of the inconsistencies that come from using this site.

While I agree with you, TK/Farabee will be Hayes age by the time they are relevant. Therefore, you trade them now where you can get significant assets. This is why it is so hard for the Flyers to say "rebuild"; it takes some gum shun which they have none of.
