That puck clearly didn't go in. I protest! And why does doing things have to be so hard?

So would anyone be really upset with this team next season?

Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
Schenn-Lecavalier-Simmonds
Raffl-Couturier-Read
Wellwood-Laughton-Rinaldo

Niskanen-Schenn
MacDonald-Coburn
Streit-Morin

Nope.

Crosby
Toews
Getzlaf

- PhillySportsGuy


But Giroux puts the team on his back. Without G this team would be lost. Crosby has the best chance because of all of the injuries, but there is still a Malkin behind him. But without toews, chicago still has kane and Sharp and Hossa. Anaheim has Perry to back up Getzlaf.

I think that Giroux carries this team and is truly the largest part of his team than any of those other guys. I know that is considered in the voting, not just who the best all around player was.

Morin will not play next year. If the Flyers rush him into the NHL I will be SERIOUSLY upset.

Morin is Pronger 3.0
- PhillySportsGuy


Pronger really spread his seed in all the hockey towns of Canada and the United States, and likely wherever else he was.

Although he just me them, the one woman already looks pregnant. Pronger works fast, and another hockey great will be born.

They don't exist because the flyers never really put together a true second line with a designated LW C and RW.

He has always been stuck with aging players to hold him back and he is still producing and it does not seem like his confidence has gone down the drain yet, so that is a positive about the guy at least.

- FlyersSteve118


I would argue about the producing part. He is putting up numbers but not very consistently.

He has gone long stretches without producing anything from the start of the season until yesterday.

8 straight without a goal in Oct- Nov
16 straight in late Nov through December (which happens to coincide with VLC being out)
3 goals in his last 15 games.Including goal less streaks of 6 and 7 games.

What I am saying is that there is no correlation between whether or not he was at center or wing. He is a good player and my own personal opinion is that his skill set is better suited to playing wing. He is not that great defensively and I think he is better suited to playing a wing. The Flyers and Berube disagree. And hey they know more than I do, I'm just a fan.

And in that disagreement they seem to be hurting VLC's game while not really seeing any difference in Schenn's game on way or the other.

So I see it as possibly improving VLC's game while probably not affecting BSchenns production ether positively or negatively, and possibly more positively because he will benefit from a more productive Lecavalier.

It's just when I watch schenn's game on the wing. It bothers me. I feel like he makes so many mistakes. When he is playing center, I either don't notice him or he seems to be playing well. It's just a feeling that I get when I watch him play. I haven't really found a way to look up stats with him playing center vs playing wing. Is there a site that keeps track of stuff like that?

Ahh, the tried and true Pronger mating dance. Very rare, and never captured on video before that very moment...

And notice once again, the female becomes impregnated almost immediately.

Im sure there is but I haven't found it yet. So I just tried to see how he produced over the course of the season. IIRC Vinny was the center until he got hurt. But that is all I could really base any of this on......

I just found it interesting that Schenn went goal less the entire time VLC was out.

We're going to need him going down this stretch, might as well throw him right in the deep end and hope he swims instead of sinks.

I think Morin is Physically ready. If AHL were an option I would send him down there. But the guy is WAY to big to keep playing agaisnt these Kids in juniors. Its frustrating him now, and will continue to do so.

I think 3rd pairing minutes would be fine for him to learn.
