(anon only! I don't want to cause tension on the flyers fanbase. I'm glad our Pens kicked their asses. Disclosure: I'm only following them because of this one player.) It won't be surprising if Brass goes off on the Flyers medical staff at the end of this season. He is day to day again with his lingering hip issue, and this is apparently the second time this happened to him where he plays and gets re-injured this season. He's doubtful for the Sharks game, and we don't know when he'll play again. I'm sad because all we wanted is for him to cherish what could be his penultimate season then this happens. 😔

To quote their coach Yeo, he had no choice but to rush him given the Flyers' rash of COVID issues and injuries to their top players. Coots played through a lingering injury for months before finally being placed on IR just this week. Hayes is obviously not 100% yet and nobody knows what is going on with Ellis, who just played 4 games this season due to a hip/groin injury and is now out indefinitely. But the fact that they rushed a lot of players while they were clearly not ready and needed conditioning...that is not a good look on their medical staff. Somebody, even a retired player, needs to spill the tea on what's going on with the Flyers medical staff because holy shit this sounds like another layer of incompetence at all areas. I kinda blame the coaching staff too, look they're short-handed right now, but don't fucking force a player to return even if you go by "we want him to see him practice before playing if the world is perfect" bullshit.

The Flyers season is unraveling fast anyway, and it really hurts to see not just for their players but also the fans. It will never sit well with me that Yeo and their medical staff practically forced Brass to play even when he was still rehabbing with his hip + COVID. He is turning 35 in September and we may be seeing the final four months of his NHL career (assuming his team misses playoffs). I'm going to be real sad if his hip costs him his career. I already expect that if his hip doesn't get better he'll get surgery. I don't want him to end up like other players who had to use painkillers to get through lingering injuries. For his sake I hope he makes a sound decision about his health in the long term. I cannot bear to see him struggling to skate on ice when he's clearly hurt, it's happened to so many players this season.

If this injury saga with the fucking Flyers leads him to open up on what went really behind the scenes in the org (especially the medical staff) or land him a better off-ice opportunity where he does not have to deal with the daily stress and physicality of the game, fine. But all things aside I really hope his situation doesn't make him lose his passion for hockey again, like that time he played for three teams in a single season. I think he earned the right to be frustrated at him being treated like a hot potato by the Flyers if ever.

All I want for him to stay healthy even after his career is over.

Hi! Im pretty sure this is my normal 'Brass Anon' so i am sorry that I've posted this rather than respond separately but I do think you've said a lot that should be heard injury wise on the team.

Imagine my shock yesterday when I realized Brass was playing even though he was "ruled out as fit-to-play". All I want out off all of these teams is for the players to be able to get healthy as needed and I'm absolutely tired of players continuing to play while hurt or getting rushed back early. I wouldn't be surprised if Brass is done after this season and I will be even less surprised if players do start coming forward about mistreatment by medical staff in the next 5 or so years. He deserves the time to heal, and to be in places where he is able to do his job properly without pressure on his long term health.

I won't speak for Flyers fans, and I certainly don't know a lot about their internal issues, but from what I know it's absolutely a top down issue.

If any flyers fans have issues with what's been said here I would absolutely love to talk about it. I would love to have a conversation about what you think is happening and or just give you a space to vent. I have a soft spot for your players and you guys aren't bad when we aren't playing eachother

Yeah like I’d love to see her getting challenged with the amount of shots she’s get from the usa given they’ll be the semi or final match up in the Olympics. She was able to stay hot with little shots on net.

I root for a mix so its like I’m not too bothered by loses but also when they do make the final (like the Habs) I’m just happy they got there .

😂Ik I wish gb qualified that would be so boss if they did. And yeah with womens I’m gonna say Canada usa Finland on the podium and with mens Canada Finland Russia (maybe swap usa with Finland but I’d have them in like 3/4th in the Olympics (in the world championships I’d have them 4/5th).

Yeah I get u on that but sometimes playing as the team who shouldn’t be there is pain bc u just keep getting big losses and that is pain, but I think it improves you cause gb did way better this years championship than last years. And GB women almost made the qualification round for the Olympics but missed out by a goal. :(

Yeah I’m a pain tbf but I’m not like ever out to hurt anyone or like purposely go at them. 😂 I’m a clean player but just like annoying them 😂🤷‍♀️

Ah that’s good go T6!!! Getting all them goals!

And yeah penalties suck 😬😬😬 T6 stop getting them bro.🏒

Yeah for sure I agree, I really want to see how she does but we’ll have to wait until tonight to see if she plays

I always say I don’t expect anything but as soon as my teams start to do well I’m like THEYRE THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD THEYRE WINNING EVERYTHING and then I get disappointed 😂

I don’t know much about men’s hockey but I will believe you on that 😂 imagine if Canada won gold for both the men and women though I’d lose my mind

Oof that sucks to miss out by a goal that would really suck

You 🤝 me

Annoying the other team

They didn’t listen and still got pens 😔 they’re doing really well, still undefeated but they’ve only played 3 games, I’m not looking forward to them playing the pride I still have bad memories from last season
