In tomorrow's rookie game, Morin will play with Gostisbehere. Laughton will center Taylor Leier and Aube-Kubel.

@DNFlyers

we should get back to rookie camp or the PP units

Their 5 on 3 was strangely not effective last season, especially considering how good their first PP unit was.

I want to blame VL but that seems too easy.

It's probably Rinaldo's fault, and that's why he got the extension, because...things. Maybe it was Pronger's injury, too. Probably played a part.

I don't remember Sanheim's partner (didn't really stand out) but the other 2 were the D pairings they used on Saturday. Ghost and Morin make for quite the contrasting pair.

I'd love to see Pitbull jack some dude up. The Caps have any Ruskies on their rookie squad?

I would love to watch this game.
Last one I saw was when JvR dominated the game.
A man among boys.
I bet ghost is going to tear it up tomorrow.

Yup
Matt Carle probably shares in the blame somehow too.

Too much time passing once the had the 5-3...what made them good on the 5-4 was the cycle down low behind the net and digging the puck out and getting the D out of position...on the 5-3 they got fancy passing but could never get the D out of position so it would be pass, pass, pass, shot and then puck was out of the zone...they need keep the urgency on in the 5-3..just felt that they had so much talent on the PP they changed too much...the entire line was guilty of it...

Festival peche or something like that.
Damn good effort.

Good analysis

I think teams will really try to take away Giroux's time and space on the PP this year

That was the ranger's strategy in the playoffs which was somewhat successful

If that means leaving Jake wide open to shoot and didtribute, I'm okay with it. I think he's becoming one of the most underrated players in the league. Our best player in the playoffs last year.

Every Flyers fan remembers where they were when they found out the Flyers traded for Luke Schenn.

Interesting that Pierre-Edouard Bellemare can play all three F positions, but Berube intends to use him at center. At least to start.

Yeah, because the Flyers have such a huge hole at center

I was at home, in my computer room, possibly looking at pornography.

Okay, LIKELY looking at pornography.

Berube obviously doesn't read our posts, and has no clue about what he is doing.

Probably the 4th line. Laughton in all likelihood will be given big AHL minutes as opposed to garbage minutes with the big club.

It'll give Vinny a chance to redeem his value as well.
