If the Flyers win tomorrow, are they a ".500 team" or an "above .500 team"?

Need everyone's opinion ASAP.

My opinion is real and it is spectacular.

If they win tomorrow they'll be at .600.

I like Akeson, but I think y'all overestimate him by a good margin.

I think he's capable of being a solid third liner, who can put up points and help drive play a bit. I'd prefer seeing him with Couturier & Read than Umberger

i will miss tomorrow's game as i will be in an early evening partner meeting. of all the games to miss, an away game in TB may be the one. though i may channel my inner Cynthia Gibb and wear headphones during the meeting.

Numbers are not the only thing that can be overestimated

i dont disagree with any of this. i understand the rationale for sure. im just saying, in as little of a robotic tone as possible, they are logical and if used properly can do a lot of good for both parties.

Call me crazy and/or sexist, but I think a prenup between 2 guys would have a much better chance of being warmly received than between a man and a woman.

I think the point though is that Berube really seems to not like Akeson at all (at least at the moment). Which is odd, based on how he used him effectively during the playoffs.

And maybe this is just based what sound bites the media filters, but there always seems to be pretty harsh criticism from Berube about Akeson even when he has what I viewed as a very solid game. And while I agree that Rinaldo has been a much better and smarter player so far this year, we rarely heard any harsh criticisms of dumb things Rinaldo did on the ice last year, from what I recall.

Just doesn't seem very fair to me.

You'd think Akeson wouldn't perform well with Umberger?

This is my feeling as well. I would rather have Umberger play the fourth line with Rinaldo and Bellemare once VL comes back, which I think could potentially free up some of the defensive responsibility from Coots' line.

The only thing he brings to the ice is his offense, and he brings a lot of risky plays with that. If he had more speed or was good defensively, Berube would be more willing to risk it.
