Yup. Right after Timonen and Coburn.

You could probably remove Timonen from there.

Stone Mason

Please with Timonen

You're joking right?

I think if we acquire an upgrade for LS or Gross (Think Girardi or Vlasic types), I could live with Streit, Gus, and Mez as our 3 offensive Dmen.

MVP is Mase so far

You're joking right?
- PhillySportsGuy

He is not.

I mean even though Kimmo's level has come down this season he's still better in his own zone than Streit imo. Which is rather sad.

He matches up against the top lines and is the only + defenseman on the roster. (Other than Gus)

Simmonds is flying tonight, he's everywhere

The only thing Streit does better than Timonen is shoot. That's, literally, it.

He's awesome. He spills his guts every single game. He's the only one.

Streit has surpassed him as far as his play in both ends of the ice. I no longer worry with him in his own end.

Ha, I'm not an avid pickle fan so that took me awhile to get

Agreed, their skating leaves a lot to be desired, which is why they both get beat like rented mules pretty often, still Streit seems kinda soft in his own end at times.

Are you serious? Streit isn't even close to Timonen in his own end.

Simmer should've passed that to Vinny on that play.

Fun fact: Kimmo has 5 even strength points this year.

Edit: The only Flyers dman with less points ES is Hal Gill with 0.

I didn't say that. Just saying I'm taking Streit over Timonen if you want me to pick one right now

Yes. Because points determine a defenseman's entire contribution.

Simmonds is just going beast mode right now and great pass by vinny.

Ugh, need that 2nd goal.

Never said that. Streit is just miles better offensively than him this year, though.

Its very short sighted. Kimmo misses a couple of wins and streit scores a goal and all of the sudden Streit is better than Kimmo.
