So what happened to Schultz? He had a very very rough preseason, and looked far from an NHL player. He's been solid so far, though.

EDM really (frank)ed with his head. Shell shock seems to be starting to wearing off.

I think the forwards don't even know what to do when they see Ghost carrying a puck into the zone.

Same 9-game threshold

So I wasn't totally wrong

neutral zone passing is pretty sloppy right now

How is that not interference???

Dustin Brown = invisible

well.. O'halloran IS one of the refs tonight.

He's a guy that's lauded around the league but just about every game I've ever seen him play he's looked average at best.

This team would be even more dangerous, even during their lulls, if they passed even a little better

Starting to look like the Wings game...

He's just...really not that good

Crims has him trapped in a well in his basement.

Then they must draft Jesper Lindgren (Modo), Rasmus Andersson (Malmo), or Gabriel Carlsson (Linkopings HC)

Ghost needs to go back down ASAP.

Prime example of why to not rush a d-man.

He won't be up for long, and he knows this. I have no problem with how they're handling this, tbh

I give the Flyers credit for this: They've been competitive as hell along the boards and in their own zone. Yeah, they've been down there a lot this period, but they've been fighting hard against a bigger opponent

Lucky to get out of this period without giving up a goal

Hopefully Kings have blown their load and don't have much left for the 3rd

He's just...really not that good

Leadership, grit, truculence. Most valuable assets. Can't find players like that.

I approve of your ellipsis usage

him and quick put that team on their shoulders on their first cup run

I do use the dots a lot in my work, if you've noticed

I respect the opinions of others because they feel like they're seeing something, but I have to admit I'm not seeing what Umberger's not doing. He's killing penalties, not taking any, backchecking

I understand the points aren't coming freely, but he's doing some good things out there

If somebody tells me "that's not $4.6 million worth," then hey, I won't dispute that salary's high.

But from what I see, he can/has helped the team -- being responsible and doing the little things at the right time goes a long way

Did Chris just ask Jean Claude Van Damme how his first goal as a Flyer felt tonight?

You're like Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters, always popping in with prospect advice

He's a guy that's lauded around the league but just about every game I've ever seen him play he's looked average at best.

I'd take him but Simmonds can do whatever he can.

Simmonds needs to be stronger on the puck and realize he's draped by someone and get it deep. Bad turnover. Need this Simmonds slump to come to an end.
- Pixote Andolini

Simmonds has struggled with the puck in this game for sure.
