GDT: Preseason #6 | Flyers at Bruins | Tuesday, October 1, 2024 | 7:00 PM | Flyers.com?, 97.5 FM, ESPN+

Ersson looked really good, like last season before he played 31 of the last 36 games.

Bonk and Luchanko aren't NHL ready, playing against a real team, that was painfully obvious.
No big deal, we're talking 18 and 19 year old. Back to the CHL, then win jobs next September.

McDonald showed the size and mobility to be an interesting player, check back after a year in the AHL.

Richard showed his good and bad, he got speed, can make things happen but lacks the skill to finish consistently.

Drysdale will be a work in progress all season, they know he has a long way to go, example of a player who'd have benefited from a full season in the AHL.

Not really worried about this showing, a week of practice with the "real" team, then a West Coast road trip. We'll have a better idea what this team looks like in 2-3 weeks.

welcome to hell...

That's as sad as I looked when he left the show.

Ron Niedermayer maybe.

More likely this Niedermayer

Whole team invisible save for one play that got them a goal Defense had a particularly bad night. Kinda sobering to see how bad an actual nhl line up makes the Flyers look

I think that all that comes out of this one is the question of how long until Ersson burns out again?

Is this an actual quote?

Sure, but he hasn't really looked good at any point in the NHL so hard to give him the benefit of the doubt in preseason when the intensity isn't as high and gameplans and structure aren't all the way implemented. Talent should show itself.

The only thing we’ve seen are glimpses in Anaheim, true. But to already judge him off 2-3 games in preseason is a little much. Here’s hoping he progresses, lord knows we need it

It wasn't just an actual NHL team, but one of the best one. Of course they looked great in front of their public. The same will be in the regular, Flyers are just not good enough to look good vs teams like Boston.
