Last night I saw a glimpse of the future.

The Flyers got exceptional goaltending, played a strong PK and by not forcing the game and using their skating in all three zones, wore down a team that was on the 2nd night of a back to back. They played with discipline. They played like Giroux on all four lines...well, the Giroux who doesn't take shifts off, but he seems to have resurfaced.

I am not confident that this will be the night in, night out for the remainder of the season. It is enough to make the team more fun to watch...and to really feel there is hope for the future.

Totally agree I'd prefer them to show some promise than shit the bed. Obviously room for improvement but that can happen over the summer with a few tweaks. AMac has to go and someone better needs to be found that would help the D. Younger guys should improve as well.

I think they were planning on keeping Simmer and adding JVR to get them over the hump this year but the young guys weren't ready especially on D. The goalie situation would screw up most teams but I was never confident with the injury prone guys and we all knew that Hart would eventually be the key. It's a scrubbed season but let the kids play to get something out of it...

Thanks for the update i was watching on DVR and mid way through the first period my DVR erased the whole game. I missed my second game of the season and of course we have to play one of the best games of the year.

OHL ‘On the Run’ Player of the Week: Morgan Frost – Ontario Hockey League

OHL ‘On the Run’ Player of the Week: Morgan Frost – Ontario Hockey League

Really interested to see how he does when making the jump. The knock on him is that he doesn't play with pace. Does a lot of gliding when he has the puck, which lets him create and do what he wants when he wants. In the OHL, the defense isn't tight enough and he can get away with it, prospect writers say he won't be able to get away with that at the NHL or even AHL level. So it will be interesting to see what happens. The good thing is, he has the ability to skate, he's probably one of the fastest skaters in the OHL, but can he make the same plays at that speed?

He's definitely got a lot of potential. I think he's the only guy in the system with truly high end potential, we'll just have to see if he can reach it.

The Carter Hart era is upon us, but is it too soon for our savior?

Its not too soon for me!

I hope he reaches his max potential as we need the next level player for the future of this team. I hope he packs on some weight because players lose about 10-15 during a season and at 185 i think he needs to get heavier. He is only 19 and if he can make a huge impact by 22 that would be ideal.

Are Flyers starting to convince Fletcher? Yes, in one way

He's bigger than Gaudreau by 3 inches and 20 pounds. if he can produce like Johnny Hockey, I'd be thrilled

I compare him more to Alix D'Brincat since they are both coming from the OHL with similar stats and Frost is a little bigger which is good for us. If he fills out that 6'0 frame id say 75 points per year wouldn't be out of the question but hopefully we could get more than that considering his potential.

Hey sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't, that wasn't the gamed decider IMO anyways.

This makes sense i hope we can get something decent for him.

Considering he passed through waivers where he could've been had for free, I wouldn't get your hopes up. If/when he gets moved, I expect the Flyers will retain salary and get either a late round pick or a minor leaguer for him. The benefit the Flyers will get is a portion of his cap hit in savings and a roster spot.

This sounds about right. He passed through waivers where he could've been had for free so the team that will be trading for him didn't have to pay the full salary. Id rather get a late round pick or a minor league than lose him for nothing.
