Why even play with fire here? The Flyers already have tried & true pkers in Umberger, Read, Raffl & Couturier.

Zac goes in one if those 4 took the penalty?

Laughton would be better than Rinaldo if he makes the team.

No idea.

Let's face it, even in Rinaldo's "good" season, all he really did any better than the season before was to draw more penalties than he did in his other seasons. He's still a non entity offensively, he's not good defensively, he's not a good possession player, because he lacks skill with the puck, he's prone to running around and taking dumb penalties and he's got a rep with the refs, so he gets called for stuff other guys get away with.

Yes, he has sucked, too. Just like the rest of the offense.

Also super easy to muscle off the puck as he's really a small guy.

He has been cut along with many others in tonight's lineup. In preseason teams can dress minor leaguers who have already been cut in order to fill out lineups. Only way to manage the jam-packed game schedules.

Me neither. I love his energy and that he seems to be a hard worker, but I just don't think he is all there between the ears.
- MBFlyerfan


He lacks skill. He is undisciplined, not only in the aspect of taking penalties, but it terms of staying in a system and being an effective defender.

He can't control himself

You really appreciate this place when you see some of the lunatics who reply to Bill on twitter.

Raffl got the night off and some guy asked if its because the Flyers realized he sucks. What kind of bizarro world must you live in to hold that opinion.

Lesean McCoy is a serial killer. He has killed my fantasy team 4 weeks in a row.

10 rushes for 17 yards. That is pathetic.
