Wouldn't improved condoms hinder 'The Next Generation'?

This defense is much better than when they are healthy. Sometimes its not about how it looks on paper but how they perform on the ice.

Ive also seen the forwards play quite a bit better in their own end.

Good back-checking. Or better if nothing else.

The kid is probably being acquired as an emergency warm body in case of another injury. I doubt they immediately plan on playing him otherwise they just fork over the 7th.

It's a 7th people. Calm down. Its like a bunch of unimpressed grandmothers in here.

An emergency for what? The more they suck the better

I don't believe that at all. They are playing exactly the same way. Lavi doesnt make adjustments.

Good shift there, but the entire time not one Flyer went to the front of the net.

But seriously, it seems the last three game they have been keeping the third forward higher. They just still don't execute well enough.

Mid way through, pretty impressive performance, especially for a depleted team.

So far Lauridson doesn't look like he can't handle at least a six spot. No worse than the garbage we have had playing here this year.

Let me get a wide open lane and just wait until a Bruin gets between me and the net......shooot now!

This defense isnt that bad. I would look to move some players. Lavi changing up his style. Great coach.

I like the coach a lot. I hope he gets another chance next year with a re-tooled roster and a full camp.

It's not so much about always keeping the 3rd forward higher, as it is about knowing when to be aggressive and when it is aggressive stupidity.

Wow reader did that hit both posts?

EDIT: off of Rasks stick and crossbar

matt read will get us at least a 1st

Was that one post or two on reads last shot?

Looks like it hit the knob of Rask's stick first.

Yep, just under the knob it looked, then right off the bar.

Settled down after his first shift.

Best Couturier has looked all year. That's a good sign.

Well, I was being simplistic....

I am currently at the Flyers game and will have more later....including some really interesting stuff from Ed Snider on the Flyers..
