I can’t say I agree with scratching Frost. But I can say I disagree with scratching Frost.
Torts decision making 101: *Did Frost have a point?* Yes – play him again. No – healthy scratch.
Does Torts just have Brink and Frost play rock-paper-scissors to see who sits?
we’re going to lose :'(
I think we should play Frost and sit Foerster despite his first goal last game.
Well, upcan, Brink is back in. I assume you’re satisfied and have no complaints
Fuck off Torts you fucking clown. Why don’t you scratch your bum 4th liner for someone who actually contributes to winning games and not “mad hitz brahhh”.
Due to recent play I’d say it should be Cates sitting. Poehling has played very in his elevated role.
Oh come tf on.
I sort of understand the reasoning behind the Frost benching.
He made some noticeably bad plays that game, at least one turnover led directly to a goal at the other end.
On the other hand, why does he only get one bad game and he is benched versus Cates/Foerster etc. who are seemingly allowed multiple “average” performances in a row and are still not benched.
There must be something that Frost has been asked to work on from the coaches in his game that he is not doing.
At least we know for a fact now that:
1) Frost is not getting scratched because of production issues (He has 4 points in his last 5 games)
2) It is false to claim that Tortorella wants to keep the lineup together while we are winning
The Tortorella defenders were telling me weeks ago that Frost was getting scratched because “He has zero points in 6 games” and “You can’t change the lineup while we are winning!”
The discourse continues
God just trade him for a bag of pucks already so I can stop seeing these threads.
Tortorella is not a coach you rebuild with. Frost, Brink, Foerster, and Zamula should be playing every game.
Frost should be asking for a trade tonight. What a joke.
These guys will get more playing time when the vets get traded at the deadline
How about a world where we get *both*
Torts sucks and is not and never was the right coach for this rebuild.
lmfao, called it

I’d be pretty bummed if I was Frost.
You are basically the lone standout in preseaon and then play two games at the beginning of the season and don’t do much, but then again, who did that early on in the season? And for your efforts, you get benched.
Then you make it back into the lineup and start picking up assists and goals to go along with breaking up plays and creating offense with the forecheck.
At that point, you have to wonder why you’re getting scratched. Again.
If Torts was honest in his evaluation, Cates and Atkinson have been pretty piss poor. Atkinson has made some horrendous passes and bone headed plays that have led to goals or extended time in the Flyers end.
Combine that with the fact that Scotty Laughton has almost zero offensive talent. He has no shot, and his passing is ass at best. There’s zero chance Frost sits in my book.
Maybe he is banged up and needed a night off. If so, then no worries. If not, I know I’d start to sour on my coach.
As a side note, if you really watch the game, Frost makes psses in the defensive and offensive zone that are so subtle and advanced that his teammates aren’t even ready for them.
