Yeah, maybe. But Foster certainly wasn't among the dmen who played the poorest the first two games.
- PLindbergh31

agreed. but i dunno how comfortable they'd be sitting down timonen or coburn

maybe meszy (b/c of the whole injury thing) but he's looked pretty damn good

EDIT: how long before everyone hates grossmann and he's traded to a team with a 2nd for a 5th?

On a side note.. eks updates once a day are pathetic.. hockey is back and he disappears.

I think Meszaros has been the best D-man so far. Which is a pleasant surprise 5+ months removed from achilles surgery.

He's checking out tablet technology today. No time for hockey.

That's odd because I thought he looked pretty decent over the weekend.
- NickTheKid87

It was only two games, but initial impressions, I wasn't impressed. I don't think the Coaches were either. But that is a very small sample. And the 2nd PP unit didn't exactly try and funnel the puck to his point to use his biggest strength.

Agreed... coulda used him on 4th line
- Flyersgod

Modest 900K cap hit as well. I'm pretty surprised no one claimed him.

The pieces gonna fall on you!

I think maybe they want Meszaros playing and skating, work his way back to 100% after the long recovery.

Talbot is on 4th line, mistakenly typed 27 instead of 25

more than just the players are rusty i see

bump:


have we fired stevens and traded carter yet?

Jesus man...we haven't even had sheet cake or rearranged locker stalls yet...have some patience.

By the way...anyone need an almost 4 year old? Mine said something about liking the Penguins while he was watching the game with me on Saturday...he was wearing his Flyers hat, but still... []
-lexingtonflyer

i have all the patience in the world. i've been a fan of this team since 1980. an 0-2 start is nothing. just felt like getting into mid-season form.

do you want a 3 year old and a 20 month old? they're both making me insane.

I have a 10 year old and a -5 month old. They're like bookends.

I'd hate him. Cant deny his amazing ability to score goals.
- Flyersgod

He's a good goal scorer, no doubt. I'd certainly take him on Flyers, depending on the cost. That said, I think that a lot of people look at his Cherry Hill roots more than the cost/benefit ratio.

For instance, people never get giddy over Patrick Marleau. Yet Marleau has scored 28 more goals than Ryan over the past 4 years.

Wait, what? Are you parenting Benjamin Button up in here?

i would agree. IF they just want to get gervais a look in the lineup, foster would be the obvious choice to sit down imo

No doubt to replace Colaiacovo. I'm shocked he's injured. Guy is made of granite. Was pretty funny people wanted the Flyers to sign this pretzel.

Tune in next week, when I make a Robert Hazard and the Heroes reference.

Mercy river!

Wayne Fish says Foster had a maintenance day. He's not one usually given to hyperbole

Ryan is young and still devolping though..

I see what youre saying. And I think there is nothing wrong with wanting a flyer fan to play for us

Nope, just finally past the point where we're "in the clear" and "the relatives have been told."

- FlyerMike18

I figured that sixth spot would be shared when they came into the season with Gervais, Foster, and Lilja (despite being sent down).

Loving this today.

I just hope he doesn't bring up Tommy Conwell & the Young Rumblers....I don;t know any of their stuff

Amazing is a little overboard. Stamkos has an amazing ability to score goals.

I agree that we can survive short term, but I definitely don't agree getting Giroux a winger is tantamount.
- BulliesPhan87

Clarke, Lindros, Forsberg and Roenick in my mind were all great players but they had help. Scott Hartnell isn't exactly John LeClair. If you can upgrade to help Giroux, you should.

No, he's a Penguin.
