Even Torts recognized Frost’s game tonight. Gave him 3 shifts, and double shifted him at end of 3v3. At least Torts is paying attention, unlike AV last year.
And man, you know I love Frost, but even him on the half wall doesn’t fix shit on that pp. it’s so f***ing stagnant, 20 games it’s been and they refuse to add any movement. It’s like they circle with the puck at the top waiting for something to open, and after 15 seconds just try to fire it on net. So dumb.
Haha JJ and Jones are talking about how so so so so so bad they feel for MacEwen for his stick breaking late, he deserves everything with his usage, he’s so important blah blah. Why haven’t I changed the channel?
Bellows is more invisible than Chevy Chase in a John Carpenter film.On a serious note though.. why hasn’t Bellows been waived yet? He’s the worst player to dress in a Flyers uniform this season.
God, I hope they do not waive him. If he is claimed, then AA gets a contractOn a serious note though.. why hasn’t Bellows been waived yet? He’s the worst player to dress in a Flyers uniform this season.
Very pleased with his defense, think that’s a very underrated part of his game. He does make his mistakes but he will learn from them for sure as does any young player.Tippett had a phenomenal game, one of his best, but you have an agenda if you say Frost wasn’t too too far behind, in a more subtle way. Efficient zone exits, touch passes, the breakaway, defense, playing with pace, even the shootout. Surprise, he looked confident with players his skill level and not plugs!
I’d say Farabee-Frost-Tippett is a pretty normal young middle 6 line that any not brain dead team would want to give run in a lost season……well, after half the team gets injured first and you’re dead last in goals/game. There’s chemistry there with those 3, and everything up to this point has been a pointless waste. Now, if we could get Frost into Hayes’ spot on the PP…..
Farabee-frost-tkFrost with Laczynski looked competent and promising. Frost with Farabee looked downright good.
Weird how replacing the total dead weight with a third NHL player yields even better results.
And to get ahead of it, no, MacEwen doesn't count. That guy has a head filled with mush.
Good by what standard? Good for the player he is? Yeah. Good compared to the role hes being put in? Not even close.MacEwen had another good game. Anyone beating on him is doing so on reputation, not play.
Sucks they lost, but it was a fun game to watch.
"cant you just enjoy the wins...."They lose again? I thought this was a playoff bound Tortorella team and not some team Hart was propping up with his amazing play.
Seriously though if a team goes up 2-0 in the first 3 minutes of the game, they probably shouldn't lose that game. Not so tough to play against are they
You do realize they aren’t exactly replete with options at RW without Konecny, Atkinson, Allison?Good by what standard? Good for the player he is? Yeah. Good compared to the role hes being put in? Not even close.
MacEwen is a fringe 4th liner at best. Its great he gives his all on every shift...but hes not a top 9 player...let alone a 1st liner. If he is in your top 6 youre not going to win... plain n simple. Thats not a knock on him...its just reality.
Him being out in the final minute and in OT is just laughable. RW was the teams deepest position at the start of the season. Him being #1 on the depth chart now is a real bad look for torts and even more so fletxher.
And who's responsible for that? That's right, your uncle Schmuck Felcher, who you defend to no extent. He's been here for four years and while Atkinson for Voracek is a wash, the only real addition he's made is MacEwan. That's a huge failure on Uncle Chuck.You do realize they aren’t exactly replete with options at RW without Konecny, Atkinson, Allison?
Yes actually... them and I think Cates, Provy and TDAOnly watched the tying goal highlight on my phone. Did our genius coach have MacEwan and Brown on in the last minute against their best players? And how much does Caufield’s talent burn up Chuckles? LOL!
I am way more impressed with Mac's puck skills this year vs his board work tbh. He's got decent bottom 6 skills. He scored 52points in the AHL a few seasons ago, 18 points on the pp. Pretty respectable totals. He is scoring at a decent clip right now, and the underlying metrics are pretty stable, but I do wonder if he sustains his scoring touch.You do realize they aren’t exactly replete with options at RW without Konecny, Atkinson, Allison?
Also short a man with Laughton leaving the game.
MacEwen was winning pucks tonight & has for most of the season. But I guess you’d rather get someone from the stands.

Just stop, dude. You aren't being realistic. Any team is going to struggle with RW depth if it loses its top three RWs to injury.And who's responsible for that?
