Yes, but short schedule or not, this is not a playoff caliber team defensively. I don't have much faith that a player like Gervais will continue to play over his head and the forwards' newfound commitment to two-way play will last.

Reality check from Bill.

If Grossmann can get back, the D will look better.
OHL needs more seasoning in the AHL.

it's always let's find something negative to talk about versus hey they won...

think of your workplace...it's easier to complain then promote a positive work enviroment.

Wait, wait, wait. How is being on Hockeybuzz all day while at work NOT promoting a positive work place environment!?!

Freaking guy has played what 20 games in a row now due to this organeyezations ineptness to find a decent backup. I will be pissed if bryz gets bought out this summer

I doubt it will be this summer, but since they just gave Mason a 1 year deal for next year, it might be next summer depending on how he's playing.

If Briere gets past his concussion problems, I think he's a goner sooner rather than later.

The last three games, the Flyers actually had a big presence in the neutral zone.
It did not resemble the typical 6 lane expressway into the Flyers D zone as it has so much this year.

Also on Gervais, another reason I think he is benefitting also is from playing with Kimmo.

Yep a teanwide commitment to defense. This prov doesn't happen without these injuries. Huskins actually moves around back there nicely. Far from a pylon. Good positioning, very much surprised

thoughts on torn rotator cuff?

Wait what
for Couts???

Huskins is playing like he wants to be re signed.

agreed. he's a good addition. looked pretty solid since he's been here.

Think we were discussing Mez at the time. Keep up... Or we get you a leash. Drag you around like a 2 yr old...

JVR and Lupey with 2 goals each tonight?

Interesting. I missed the Sun game as we were driving back from Easter dinner and barely heard his name at all on the radio. And all I can say is that I didn't notice him particularly last night. Which usually means he did a decent job. I'll have to watch for him tonight.

He's skating around now of course that were past the deadline. I don't want him anywhere near a game situation. I can't see the flyers feeling that way

Per Sam Carchidi on twitter......Mason signing a 1 year deal with the Flyers....

And what are the $s please?

Ugh I hope not. Anyone know how JVR has been playing recently?

2 mill ?

I'm thinking Coots with 2 and Rosehill with 1.

Just for that, the fur comes OFF the handcuffs for you...

2 mill ?

2 much

the guy's living out a dream...don't get why someone would begrudge him for that.
- isaiah520

Exactly! If I got to play on the Flyers (especially for a win) I'd be dancing like a doofus too!

Ugh I hope not. Anyone know how JVR has been playing recently?

scoreless in 10 games

2 much

Homer likes to pay top dollar

He's skating around now of course that were past the deadline. I don't want him anywhere near a game situation. I can't see the flyers feeling that way
- Just5

Hard to say. You want him playing so we can say "see he's fine" and hopefully trade him for something. But at the same time keeping him healthy is also paramount cuz without his #'s off the cap hit Holmgren is tied down, underwater, upside down, unconscious.

I'm thinking Coots with 2 assists and Rosehill with 1 fight.

I'd imagine it's not a two year old you're dragging around on a leash young lady.
