Well that question is answered...


Sam Carchidi
@BroadStBull
Emery will start; Mason shooting for Tues.


Rob Parent
@ReluctantSE
Mason admits Something wrong at end of practice. Looked tired but it was something more.

Frank Seravalli
@DNFlyers
Mason said this is not a setback, but "all part of the process." He didn't look right on the ice during practice today.

It doesn't matter
- Just5



Agreed because goaltending wasn't the issue in game 1.

VL would have never been signed
- puckhead17


No they would have still signed him. Having 9 more centers than you need is just the Flyers style. Force them to move to the wing even if they struggle.

We could have 9 Centers in the top 3 lines.

And we would still sign VL again.

Yeah, remember in the summer when he was signed?

He was brought in, (his words), to hope to get some right wing time with Giroux.

It's a mute point to now I guess.

Careful, the lines on that guys forehead in your new avatar are very similar to horizontal cleavage.

I would try and rekindle a spark with the lines


Raffl-giroux-voracek
Harts-schenn-Simmonds


Tell that 2nd line to get the puck in deep and get it to the (frank)ibg net. They had success earlier in the year. Raffl also showed some things on the top line.

just find it funny people complain about a young player that we got among other things from the richards trade, nothing much more
- 2Real


The trade itself was great, as was the Carter trade. I liked both Richards and Carter, was bummed to see them go, but I also liked the returns for both, a lot.

Good for Emery. Everyone and the Rangers included know that if you get him moving side to side that's the weakness.

I believe in Ray, and no sense in having Mason come in at less than 100%. Goaltending was the last problem in game 1.

Defenseman Ryan Pulock, the New York Islanders' first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft assisted on Halmo's game-tying goal.

Somewhere, Jmatch is pissed.

Played decent last night, even with the main focus on Ghost

Fair enough. I hated the Richards trade at the time, I don't mind it so much now.

Although Having Giroux/Richards/Coots/Laughton would be pretty nice I think...

- Flyersgod

i doubt carter would have been traded if richards wasn't

I've seen both.

Sucks to hear about Mason...the Flyers are a better team with him back there. But Rayray wasn't the problem, and I have no doubts they can beat the Rags with him in net on Sunday.

Ok now FOR REAL. Edgar Allan Poe time, once again.
