I’m visiting family in Detroit. Didn’t realize Ghost was with the Redwings. 18 points in 19 games.

Ghost was never the problem here.

Flyers’ Noah Cates out 6-8 weeks with lower-body injury

The Philadelphia Flyers be down by one centerman for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

Finally get to see Brink and Frost at the same time. I wonder who goes to 4th line center? Poehling or Laughton.

Haven't heard much from Laughton this season. Maybe a sit down wakes him up a little.

I saw that Samu Tuomaala could get called up sometime this year. He is apparently fast and has a good shot. Hopefully!

I bought the NHL package through my cable so by principal i dont want to pay more for what i should already be getting, so if i miss a game or two so be it. Screw the networks, streaming services and cable companies.

The fact he has been bumped to the 4 the line speaks volumes, he's a good player but his biggest knock with me has been his ability to go AWOL.

Why not, gotta see what you've got in the wings to figure out your direction.

Not really Torts' MO though. He'd probably rather call up 37 yr old Cal O'Reilly because he has 145 games of NHL experience and will set a good example for the kids in the lineup. All 3 of them.

Yep 100% on the nose, it's a shame too, the only thing a kid would gain from that is Cal is 37 and only has 145 games of NHL experience!

Laughton is more built to be a 4th liner than Frost i. it will be nice to have Frost and Brink on the same line tonight

In this case that's not the case as Tuomaala is a RW and we already have TK ,Atkinson, Brink and Hathaway playing RW. Not to mention Lycksell has more goals and more points than Tuomaala and is another RW.

Just meant in generalities. He did the same with Mette and Belpedio instead of Andrae, Attard, or Grans. And it's the same as keeping Poehling, Deslauries, and Hathaway in the lineup instead of getting guys like Brink and Frost in the lineup together. And Zamula getting scratched so Staal and Risto can be in the lineup.

There's a balance between making players earn their time. I get that. And holding people accountable etc. And creating a winning culture. But at some point you have to have young guys in the lineup to balance out the seesaw. Their average age tonight is 27.7 years old. There's no balance, they're just not playing the young guys.

IMO, the Flyers roster management this season looks exactly like it has for 10 years. We'll see what happens at the deadline, but I'd be shocked to see them actually sell and do anything to hurt their chances at making the playoffs. Maybe this is all part of the plan. Up until the deadline they dress a veteran heavy lineup to show the kids what it takes. Then sell at the deadline with the expectation that the kids will step in and play the same style/level. But Flyers and Torts history shows otherwise.

0 comeback wins this season

I watched parts of each period last night. Definitely a different team than in years past, but unfortunately the same result. The team speed is night and day from the past as is the overall effort. Down 2 -1 for most of the 3rd and pressing, but could not get another goal. I thought the 3rd Hart gave up was on the weak side. Obviously a team without a star player.

I remember one of the announcers summed it up best, he said, the Flyers came out with a strategy in the first of moving the puck up quickly through the neutral zone and it worked until the Canes caught on and adjusted their defense, problem he said is Philly never changed their offense. He was a 100% correct.
