PrintThe two players left in Philadelphia Flyers training camp as invitees are no longer invited. The Flyers announced Sunday morning that they've cut Adam Mair and Michael Nylander from their professional tryouts, thus sending them home without jobs and trimming the camp roster to 36 players.
Nylander was attempting to make an NHL comeback after a tumultuous few years as property of the Washington Capitals. His huge contract saw his demotion to the AHL, and there, in game with Rochester early last season, he broke his neck and didn't see the ice for the rest of the year.
He had an injury issue in camp as well this year and didn't get into any preseason action, and that likely diminished his chances of a return to the NHL with the Flyers.
Mair also had little chance of actually making the roster, and he only got into one preseason game during his time with the Flyers. He'll be looking for a job now as well.

I'm just glad these two guys were brought in, since they really pushed Schenn and Betts to perform better.
Nobody's job was safe this camp. That's the beauty this year.
I take pleasure in gloating that other people’s gag-inducing articles are so easily mocked so quickly after being posted.

I hate this time of year so very much. This is how I deal with it.

lol. If Blair Betts’ job wasn’t safe then I have lost all faith in humanity.

Well, a certain writer for a large Philadelphia newspaper known to inquire about certain events still thinks Sean Couturier is putting his job in jeopardy.

And we come back around to the reasons why I refuse to follow him on Twitter. I can’t take anymore than what I see when you guys reply to him, so I ignore everything in between.

I don’t follow him on twitter. Refuse to give him an extra follower.
But he’s still in the BSH Flyers list.

Ha, Detweiler. What writer could that be, I wonder? Shall forever be a mystery, I suppose.
But about Nylander and Mair… if any of you claim that this comes as a surprise to you, you are a liar.
Just reading about this myself:
Hartnell visiting cardiologist Tuesday

Sarauj, Latvija!
Whoa, that’s a bit scary.
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!

Whoa, no kidding.
And if the Flyers think that because Hartnell is young there is no real problem, I say “Hank Gathers.” (RIP) (Not saying he is like Gathers, just saying that elevated heart rate AND arm twitching in combination is not necessarly a minor matter).
Hunter Pence will not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither does Carlos Beltran.
