Any update on who is in tonight?

Any idea if the rookies practicing in Voorhees tomorrow? If yes what times are they practicing?
I’m thinking about taking my grandson to a practice for the first time. I can’t seem to find the info on the Flyers site.
Thanks

Yes. Practice at 11:30 AM tomorrow.

Not too impressed by any of the Flyers prospects in that period. I noticed Foerster a few times. Ciernik has pretty good wheels. Grans is tall.

Grans is playing? I don’t have a stream. I’ve settled for Flyers/Rangers 27/7 episode 2

Yea, even for a untrained eye. Nobody is breaking the sound barrier.

Connor Bedard had a hat trick in his first prospects game. Fantilli too.

If things go a certain direction, that could be us next year.

I want to see bedard play against nhl players, these rookie games mean nothing.

I thought Grans had a good game overall on both ends. Brink still looks extremely awkward to me out there, and I noted Foerster twice in 2 games took needless penalties while the Flyers were on the PP. He has a great shot but he still does not get open enough to use it. I expected Foerster to dominate a lot more in these two rookie games. I loved Desnoyers overall, I think he will be a Flyer very soon. I was so happy to see Matt Brown playing well, and undersized forward who I have watched play for UMass Lowell and then Boston University these past 4 seasons. He is a smart hockey player and I really hope he can carve out a career on the Phantoms at least. The Flyers were wise to sign him to a PTO.

Well, hold on. They mean something, in this case they are more proof that Bedard and Fantilli are ready for the NHL right now. Which Flyers rookie or young player dominated against the Rangers rookies? That would be no Flyer player! Foerster should have dominated in these games given his experience and size, but he really didn't. So to me anyway, it does mean something.

Morgan Frost for Shane Pinto. Discuss.

Sean Couturier, Travis Sanheim and Carter Hart. Beyond those three, there are no players in the entire organization that will be here after the Flyers are forced to fire the current management regime in 2-3 years for lack of results.

If anyone mentions the Russian we just drafted, I’ll just mention that the corrupt Russian government killed his father for suggesting he could come to the NHL soon. While another Russian goalie prospect was literally sent to Siberia for trying to come and play in North America. After another Russian former player made a big deal of wearing a practice skate jersey he didn’t like. No more Russians in the organization please.

IDK, I think it shows the difference between real top talent and everyone else.
