I think I like these lines better:

Hartnell - Giroux - Voracek
Schenn - Couturier - Simmonds
Gagne - Briere - Knuble
Fedotenko - Talbot - Rinaldo
- flyersfan51

Need to switch Couturier and Briere, due to matchup and situation hockey issues.

I think Barkann did block me.
- Jsaquella

How do you know if your blocked? is their a message that tells you?

Well, at least you didn't get a twitter ban like a certain authority figure here
- BulliesPhan87

Yeah, can't believe Bo said all those things about a branding iron and Barkann's ass.

'Bout time, slacker

- flyersfan51

man I just cannot stand Fedotenko. I know he does a nice job on the PK and that is important but I just cannot stand him. Maybe its more that I can't stand him AND Knuble in the lineup at the same time. I want to see youth and speed in the lineup

It'll seem as if you're trying to access a deleted/non-existent tweet, or it'll tell you 'no way dog, can't read this'.

Didn't Briere and Gagne enjoy some chemistry when Briere first got here?

Or am I misremembering that?
- johndewar

I think you're right on target.

Sick as a back lane hooker and pinched nerve in my lower back.

Flyers curse

yeah but you got the line combinations wrong...
- phi1671

That's hardly fair. The McGinn news broke 5 minutes after!

I think you're right on target.

- nastyflyergirl

I agree on Fedotenko, but, I like Knuble because he forechecks and he's hard to knock off the puck in the corners. When McGinn comes back, I'd definitely sit Fedotenko and I guess we'd have to sit Knuble when Read comes back.

I'm shocked I didn't get banned by Barkan and over the years by Tim considering how often I rip him. Could be because I'm friends with a co-worker

yeah havent been blocked by either....

I don't think Tim blocks anyone. He's used to the criticism.

Yeah, can't believe Bo said all those things about a branding iron and Barkann's ass.
- Jsaquella

I wasn't so shocked until she mentioned a 'blood sacrifice'.

I don't think Tim blocks anyone. He's used to the criticism.
- Jsaquella

I actually think Tim enjoys the give and take.

As much as I enjoy listening to Doc, as he is 1000 times better than Jim Jackson and probably the best commentator in all sports, and I don't have to be annoyed by Steve Coates, I despise Pierre Maguire and Eddie Olcyzk. Those guys constantly kiss the rear end of certain players like Sidney Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and every other supposed superstar that doesn't wear Orange and Black!
- aantny88

That is not entirely true, Maquire has a serious love on for Giroux. Everytime he is out on the ice and makes a play it is the best play by a great heads up player!

Question:
Does anyone think Briere would wave his no trade at the deadline, if the acquiring team was willing to guarantee him a buyout at the end of the season.

If the Flyers are not one of the top 8 seeds by the deadline, there is no point keeping Briere, especially if they plan on buying him out at the end of the year, plus I'm pretty sure Boston or any contender with cap space would love to have him for a playoff run.

The other interesting thing would be if he is traded and then bought out, the Flyers then could resign him for a much lower cap hit next year.

Thoughts?

Briere says his heart's in Philly and he doesn't anticipate playing anywhere else.

Now I'm waiting fro Bo to ask us what the Hell we're talking about

I like Briere and like what he can bring when he's on his game and with the right linemates.

I just don't like Briere at his current cap hit. I'd be fine with trading him if the Flyers were out of the race and having him back at a reduced rate.

Adrian Dater was the guy who called Claude Giroux a "role player" during the 2010 Playoff run, I believe. Even if Giroux wasn't a prime time player at that time, he should have known Giroux's standing in the org was better than that of a role player given Giroux's draft position and junior hockey pedigree.

And Randy Miller is a baseball writer who is kind of playing at being a hockey writer.

I don't think you're losing much here.
- johndewar

I believe the term AD used for Giroux during the 2010 Finals was "no-name plugger".

Randy absolutely knows his hockey. I ride with him to practice in Voorhees frequently, and he knows his stuff about the sport. He's a lifelong Penguins fan, but he follows the entire league.

Randy is also quite the sports collector and has put together something very cool that's Flyers related: a huge binder filled with one hockey card of every player who has ever played for the Flyers. It's arranged alphabetically. In cases where a card wasn't available of a certain player, he'd find a photo and MAKE a hockey card to stand in.

I consider Randy a friend and he's always been in my corner professionally. But he does have a bit of a quick temper.

I think that scenario would make a trade more likely. I think he gets buyout regardless so if it's by another team at least he has a chance at playing for the Flyers again.
