Kolyachonok is getting all the Sully treatment for himself.

For sure. Me too. His ice time has been minimal for several games.

WHY do players on this team take sharp angle shots, but refuse to shoot the puck from between the circles?????

It makes me crazy watching that! :face:

That felt like a pre season game first period.

Not much intensity or tempo at all that 1st Period.

Graves cannot be on this team in September. Whether it’s buyout, retention or waivers, this has to end. I can’t see him getting straightened out this summer.

Looked like Geno was hooked in front as well.

Would a bottom 6 line of Poulin-Ponomarev-Puustinen be any worse than what we have seen the last couple years? This team can get real young real fast if they would just stop signing old garbage.

It’s comical at how much worse Graves is than Jack Johnson was at any point when we signed him.

Graves plays the game and moves in the slow motion. Might be the softest player on the puck I’ve ever seen lol

Really hope KD doesn’t take on more vets to get draft picks this summer. Hopefully he can move Heinen, Hayes and Acciari.

Must be what Sully wants. 3 different GMs. An old fart, a kid and a Flyer saboteur. The 3 don't have much in common.

You can tell McG has “it.” He’s a smart player. Always in good position and around the puck. Definitely has a high hockey IQ.

Just need to get up to NHL speed on his reactions which is already so much better than it was in October.

Yep, his progression is very, very noticeable.
