Nice to see Barre-Boulet get on the board. Hope the Habs give him a shot.

As fun as game 1 was, this was pretty much the exact opposite.

Brink looked good in the first, but his energy waned. No one else stood out positively, except for Makiniemi.

Was hoping to see something from Lycksell, Rizzo, Bonk... but nothing.

NHLers like Couts, Laughton, Foerster, Poehling... all looked like they just wanted to get out of the game without getting injured.

Risto and Attard were atrocious. Petersen should be sent home; waste of a roster spot, even at the ECHL level.

Unbelievable that Lane Hutson was drafted 62OA. He’d go top 5 in a 2022 re-draft (Slaf, Nemec, Cooley, Gauthier/Hutson).

Unbelievable that Lane Hutson was drafted 62OA. He’d go top 5 in a 2022 re-draft.

And his brother Cole is supposed to be as good as Lane and was only selected 43rd overall by Washington in 2024.

The Flyers have several Lane Hutson types.

Just not an actual one, the kind that’s impactful.

2022 draft is looking incredibly cursed for the Flyers right now. Could have had a high second to draft Hutson, but instead we traded it in order to dump a 3rd pairing d-man, and also traded our 5th OA pick for an oft injured player we hope develops into the 3rd piaring d-man we paid to get rid of.

I don't know anything about Hunter McDonald, but he has shown some good offensive instincts today.

Did he get replaced with a clone after I turned this thing off?

Maybe. It was a short window where he made good decisions going up ice. Outside of that, he wasn't very noticeable.

I looked him up after the second period and couldn't believe how anemic his production has been in his career.

Hutson has 2 NHL games. Drysdale has 147. Let’s wait for Hutson to match that.

All you can ask is that they learn from their mistakes. I think they have.

LOL!

5-0 ??? so cancel the cup parade then ?

Michkov didn't play so the game doesn't matter.

Why did they extend Hathaway and Seeler? This game gave you a good idea why.

When Deslauriers is one of your better looking forwards, well . . .
Lyksell and Eklind showed me nothing, Richard is fast but isn't that skillful and isn't a forechecker like Poehling. Rizzo didn't show much either.
Brink was pretty good, but not good enough to be assured a job.
Desnoyers looks quicker than last year.
Gaucher is an AHL body.
Couts looks healthy, played like a guy with a guaranteed job.

Attard can't play defense, that's why Risto is the 3RHD, the difference between the two was night and day. Same size, but Risto can skate and has a clue.
There's a reason Belpedio is in the AHL.
Bonk was MIA in the 1st period but played better as the game went along.
McDonald was pretty much MIA.
Zamula was decent.

Makineimi didn't embarrass himself, which puts him ahead of Peterson.
Kolosov would be the starter in LHV if he came over, Peterson is just here b/c they didn't want to buy him out after retaining last year and buying out Atkinson.
