Healthy playoff lines that probably suite your style of thinking better....

Hartnell-Roo-Read
McGinn-Briere-Jake
Rusty-Schenn-Simmonds
Talbot-Cooter-Rinaldo

Balance up and down, roll 4 lines consistantly. Only discrepencies in ice-time will be seen because of special teams.

Something about those two words and the 2012-13 Flyers seems not quite right

OK I do think they will squeak into the playoffs this year, but healthy?

time for the flyers to tank the season get a new GM and draft a goaltender. you would think after 35 years flyers ownership would have learned having a former player as the GM doesn't work and draft a goaltender and build around him. enough with taking other teams castoffs and overpaying for them.

come on devfan, you can do better then this
they have drafted goalies, so far none have worked out
and Bryz has been their mvp so far this year, all though he has slide a bit in the last 3 or 4 games

So what's the plan when Marty retires? You will simply draft another Hall of Famer right. Too easy.

Couturier, Schenn and Briere are not much better.

The way Jake is playing, I'd rather him on another line essentially anchoring it and then hope Roo gets going with Reader and Hartnell. Having two playmakers of that caliber on each line is how I'd do it. But they are all pretty interchangable.

Time for devils fans to start showing up at games so that their team doesn't get relocated.

jake is the only person so far this year giroux has really clicked with, i'd leave it alone and put hartnell and briere back together, maybe they can recapture some of their old mojo and get briere scoring again

actually the devils have sold out every home game so far this season. plus with a 20 year lease still on the prudential center, moving the team is impossible. a newowner would have to pay more for the lease than the team. and i have a question is it better to play before a half empty aena and win championships like the devils or play before sell out crowds every night and win nothing like the flyers and rangers?

Well, to be fair the last Devils championship was a decade ago. Granted, much more recent than the Flyers or Rangers. But still ten years ago. So while we understand the poop talking and moronic trolling you seem determined to bring to the table today, it's not as if the Devils are fresh off a Stanley Cup parking lot BBQ and Hoe Down.

So if I were you, I'd be praying to my Corey Booker doll that the Devils win another soon, because when Marty and Lou leave, you guys are (frank)ed harder than Jenna Jameson. Have a spectacular day, my friend.
