Zak MacMillan: CBJ G4 v Buffalo Sabres — Danny Debut

Why hasn't Jiricek slotted in on the D yet ?? Our D hasn't been anywhere near unbeatable, why not give him a game. He's too young to sit for a while. He's not getting better sitting upstairs every game. If Evason thinks he's that far from playing up here, then get him to Cleveland for games this weekend.

What is the deal with Jiricek? Has he fallen out of favor? He is a guy I would love the Flyers to target in a hockey trade if he needs a change of scenery. He could slot in the top 4 and grow with new young core.

Hi men,

I understand the questions, but right now the team is playing well and dominated Buffalo last night. At the rate injuries are piling up again this season he will on the top pair in a week or two. I assume he would play this weekend.

I only watched part of the game last night, but it was a lot of fun to see a competitive team playing.

Perhaps he's at that stage where he's too good for the Ahl so he needs to somehow learn the ropes of the NHL in a controlled environment , like practice.

I truly don’t understand the logic of not using Jiricek. It’s a mistake repeating itself

I do not get the concept of scratching your best young defensive player.
