Lines in a blender again. Fun times.

Andrae - From not good enough to play in the opening west coast trip to suddenly 1LD.

Michkov - Best talent we have had in 25 years playing with two absolute plugs after two healthy scratches.

Fire Tortorella.

Benching him for 2 consecutive games, then putting him back in 3rd line with AHLers is absolute garbage; unless Torts is 100% convinced MM is such a fighter that this will only anger him = yield better results in longer run. Having said that, MM in 3rd line vs SJS makes my eyes hurt even if the above is true.

Poehling over Frost is something.

At least we get Erik Johnson back so it’s not all bad news!
Poehling is 26, Frost is 25.
Poehling xGFrel -1.37, HDCFrel -0.20, PP/60: 2.34
Frost xGFrek -7.49, HDCFrel -10.88, PP/60: 0.79

In what universe is Frost outplaying Poehling so far this season?

Drysdale should be scratched he plays like a chicken without a head most games.
He needs to slow it down and just play HIS GAME.....he needs to watch guys like Hughes(Van), Fox(NYR) and Makar(COL) and relax and just play hockey.....frustrating :facepalm:

Lol @ Frost being scratched. It's just comical at this point. Franchise is a joke
Frost has been invisible.

It may well be that Drysdale needs a stint in the AHL to work on his game. However the way that Tortorella jacks around young players is enough to confuse any person and crush their confidence.
IDK who the ass was that decided that Tortorella would be a good coach to develop young players deserves to be permanently placed in Byberry.

Unless it’s a conditioning stint Drysdale can’t go back down to the minors without passing through waivers.

Granted I think he just sucks & that has always been the case but even applying the Flyers logic here where you did still believe in him this is part of the problem. You have to play him in the NHL while still hoping he can develop.
