As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before. On Wednesday (Dec. 4), Philadelphia Flyers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers/] defenseman Travis Sanheim was named to Team Canada's roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off [https://thehockeynews.com/news/4-nations-face-off-five-surprises-with-canada-and-the-usas-rosters]. He will represent Canada with fellow Flyers star Travis Konency. Sanheim undoubtedly earned this opportunity, as he has had an excellent season with the Flyers. In 25 games, the 6-foot-4 defender has five goals, 15 points, and a plus-2 rating. However, with so many excellent Canadian players, there has naturally been some debate about their selections. Sanheim is one player creating debate, as he received criticism from JFresh, a very popular hockey analytics account with 122.7K followers on X. JFresh argued that while Sanheim has had a good year, he is not "an amazing defender" and isn't very physical. Shortly after the post, Flyers forward Joel Farabee stood up for Sanheim and told JFresh to simply "watch a game." Clearly, Farabee disagreed strongly with JFresh's opinion on Sanheim, and he made sure to stand up for his teammate because of it. That should earn him more respect in the room.
