Flyers Daily: Philly Stars Benched; Kessel to Tie Ironman Record; Trade Rumors
So what was more surprising — that it only took new Philadelphia Flyers coach Tortorella until the season’s sixth game before he benched two of his best players? Or that he declined commenting on his decision after the Flyers’ 3-0 loss Sunday to San Jose?
Nashville, which lost to the Flyers the previous night, was also in the news as it got good medical news on defenseman Mark Borowiecki, who left the ice on a stretcher Saturday against Philly.
Meanwhile, Phil Kessel on Monday will tie Keith Yandle’s ironman streak, and the rumor mill is churning on Jacob Chychrun.

Tyson Foerster injured on scary hit into end boards
Jacob Chychrun is great when he plays. He’s never healthy. Perfect addition to Ellis. I heard Fletcher is on the phone now. No need for medical records.
Philly ‘Stars’…on this team? Where?
Very glad that Torts is holding the players playing without a pulse accountable..
I see a trend…around 10 games into the season, and we already have 5 player injuries.
Did the Medical/Training/Conditioning department take the summer off?
The Summer off? This medical staff in Philly has been awful for years. Lindros, Primeau, Forsberg, Pronger, Laperriere, Patrick, Ellis, Morin, etc… Can’t figure ways to help these players.
could the Flyers obtain Kessel so they can bench him before he gets the record?
Hah!
I like what Coach Tortorella has done so far; trying to elevate the overall attitude of the Team. But lets face it: Until the Flyers get some top shelf talent infused into the line up; and can actually stay healthy; they’re going to be around mediocre for the forseeable future. They have the Goalie and Coach that they’ll need to reach the next level. Now all they need is a New GM and Medical Staff. Cause the ones they have Truly Suck.
Agreed
