HOW MUCH IS REMEMBERED
- Giroux_Is_God


Got on a boat at 10:30am. I remembered the first few hours then I was back at my house at 5pm showering when I came to.

I caught my second wind at 8 and we went to The WonderBar to get drinks and dinner. I remembered the rest of the night. Nothing too crazy happened, but it was an awesome night.

Agreed. I would steer clear of Morris, unless he would sign a 1 yr deal. Nikitin is intriguing because he has shown flashes of offensive ability in his career, maybe there could be more bang for the buck. Hainsey is my first choice because of his experience, ability to play in all situations, and more importantly cost. He'll probably get a multi-year deal, but he would fit in nicely with the young kids in a role similar to what I believe Kimmo will play this year.

I want short term roles for any secondary D UFA signing, unless it's Stralman or Nikitin. I don't want to see a guy signed to fill in until Morin, Gostisbehere & Hagg are ready still here 4 years later, unless he earns a longer term commitment on the ice as a Flyer.

Flyers need to bite the bullet and get Weber
Keep Vinny as #1 center
Trade Giroux for Weber straight up

I'd only way to go 2 years or less. I'm looking at Gilbert as a stop gap, only.

I try to move Grossmann, regardless.

- Jsaquella


You know Gilbert is going to want a bit longer contract this season, but if he gets a pay raise and performs well again on a 1 year deal, his price tag could go up again next off-season. Guess we'll see what happens.

I like Gmann, but won't be surprised at all if he's moved. And what he brings is easy to replace.

Defense is not good enough, even in the short term.
May not make the playoffs with it

- puckhead17

I remember the good ol days back in October when people said this team wouldn't make the playoffs because their defense is blah blah blah

I also remember when they went out to California, among other places, for a gauntlet of games and came out with every possible point except like 3

I also remember them playing the Hawks, Kings, and Ducks and beating them all in 3 games in 4 nights (I think)

The defense is not as bad as everyone thinks. Just simply not as bad. It's not the Kings or the Hawks out there, but this d corps can get the job done.

Couts had 7 fewer goals, but only 2 fewer points, while playing in a far more difficult role, getting less PP time and facing far tougher competition.
- Jsaquella


Exactly I think he would dominate if he wasn't facing top lines all game long.

Yeah man they really got their ass handed to them in that 7 game series, eh?

You know...the same series where our starting goalie missed the first 3 games.

Love it when you talk dirty.

No strippers. We all hate strip clubs. That's pretty much the last place I'd want to spend my time.

I havent drank and smoked that much in a long time. Not since college.

9 Of us finished 4 cases in 6 hours.

Can't use that as an excuse and yes the Rangers forwards poop on the slow , old Ass flyers defense. Even Coburn , whom the Flyers should trade away. Played like absolute donkey Ass

I wonder if Hextall is looking at the end of the season Grossmann (Nik and Streit were actually a pretty steady pair in the Spring) or looking at the bad stretch he had in the Winter (when that pair was really bad), when thinking about next year and the D.

The D as is absolutely has big holes. But they can compete. I am sure Hextall would love to upgrade where he can.

Good man. I'm not about that life either. Some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, I guess. Plus, I'd honestly feel guilty going to one with a girlfriend in the picture

NICE WORK. What was on the menu?

Easy now, everything you read is just opinion, personally, replacing Grossman with Gilbert?
Coach didn't trust Schenn to play more than 15-16 minutes, Kimmo will be in a reduced role, not the same one.
Doing this beats the crap again out of Coburn & AMac, and then everyone will female dog they stink, etc, because there's not enough depth.
