2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[bennysflyers16]

Head of Flyers medical staff ?

Please tell me some know what this is from !

 

[Tripod]

Don't worry guys, games in Oct and Nov don’t count.

 

[Rebels57]

I don’t defend them as I think their general tough hockey guy brand & general inability to evaluate what’s going on out on the ice pushes players to want to play through injury while they’re oblivious to negative impact it’s having short & long term.

But I don’t really think they’re necessarily at fault here.

I don't know... Joel hasn't played in nearly 2 months. I've been going through disc issues since late February and knew within 3 weeks if surgery was required or not. Thankfully not required for me.. but i'm still going to physical therapy for it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

A lot of the Flyers doctor’s (same with most of the sports teams here) are based out UPenn which like one of the best hospital systems in the country. So I’m inclined to think it’s not them but rather the people they give the information/recommendations to. You can only lead a horse to water…

It would be interesting to see their response for sure though.

Absolutely...it's always been on the Flyers end for the medical issues...not the unaffliated area Doctors.

This is the same organization that poisoned it's medical personnel with toxic zamboni fumes, so we should definitely not be surprised lol

What bothers me more so though is that I’m still not convinced they see this as another obvious sign to probably not go all in this summer. Even outside people either here, on Twitter, or wherever else are perplexed with that this organization thinks it has pieces to go all in for next year.

 

[deadhead]

The decision to have surgery is ultimately the player - you can't force a player to get cut.
I'm sure Farabee wanted to explore all options before going under the knife.

[Magua]

This could really put a dent into the Flyers contending.

It’s like trying to evade 5 stars on GTA with a beat up car on nothing but rims.

 

[Magua]

Love Mad Libs.

"Like fans/management expect them to be competitive by OH LOOK, GRITTY and probably will be past their peak by NEVER."

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

WELP.

So it begins

 

[bobbythebrain]

Couldnt of had this surgery 6 weeks ago ???

Pulling an Ellis

 

[freakydallas13]

Don't worry guys, games in Oct and Nov don’t count.

Unless you start the season on a hot streak, then you can use it to justify decisions years later.

 

[flyerslducks]

Let the tank commence

 

[scumpup]

Farabee's neck injury is perhaps the best thing that couldve happened to the flyers this offseason. Commit to the tank please. Give torts a 3 year contract idc just please collect more picks for 2023.

 

[renberg]

I mean, ofc a chance that say Couturier especially could come in at same level as before... but usually with any injury takes some time to be back at 100%.

It’s the nature of the sport for guys to get seriously dinged. Check the Bruins injured list-Marchand, McAvoy and others. The Caps have Backstrom, Wilson and Oshie . It’s a rare club that doesn’t have significant players with major injuries at the end of the year.

Yeah but I don’t think Boston or Washington’s management really have as much delusions as to where their teams currently are compared to the Flyers’. Mind you both teams have been considerably more successful than the Flyers over the last decade or so & have cups to show for it in that time span. They’re on the backend of guys like Ovechkin, Backstrom, Bergeron, etc. remaining years & both teams very well might not be that great next year anyway.

 

[TheKingPin]

So, we have back surgery for Couturier, Pelvic surgery for both Ellis and Hayes, and now spinal surgery for our "young" semi-star, Farabee. Why the HELL are we not blowing up this mess?!

Oh no no. Ellis never had surgery. He’s going to rehab an injury that took him out for the year. But Hayes had enough surgeries for the whole team alone.

Make no mistake , this team is tanking next year.

 

[FlyerNutter]

He’s finally perfected that downward dog, and toppling tree.

Hips as flexible as a baby.

Yeah, Alex has gone gung ho on blaming the front office for all of the Flyers injuries & it’s rather embarrassing.

that looks like chucks "ideal" roster on opening nite..

hahaaa....

"nothing to see here move along...."

Their approach towards injuries has caused injuries.

They are at fault for what they caused. Pointing out they are at fault for the thing they are at fault for isn't embarrassing.

Well in the 70s they just drank beer and played through injuries bc they were real men...thats the Flyers way. Youre telling me that same philosophy shouldnt be used in 2022?

Not like the game has changed at all or anything.

Or that retirement age was lower as a result.
