They wouldn't stand a chance in Overtown or Liberty City.

No you obviously don't know that but they are clearly a better 5 on 5 line with Bellmare at C which usually results in better +/-. That said I would still put Vinny back on line 2. If the Flyers are to have any shot at trading his contract he is going to have to produce and he has a much better shot of doing that on the 2nd line then the 4th

I don't know that to be the case. Scoring more goals also can result in a better +/-. I think Bellemare is a better skater, and better away from the puck. But Lecavalier is better with the puck, and a better offensive producer. I would play Lecavalier on the 2nd line. And would use Bellemare situationally. Late in games with the lead, Bellemare would get some shifts centering that line.

Using Vinny on the 4th line really doesn't help in any way. Even if the team is struggling you need him to be in a place to succeed so you even have half a chance to move him at the TDL. He has no value as a 4th line center. Best case is he and his line produce and give another line to worry about.

Manning played OK last night, less jittery then Ghost.
I think the coach trusts Manning a little more at this point.

And this game has a bit of a trap feel to it for me.
Everyone assuming Florida will be easy, I don't see it.

If the Flyers play and skate and back check they should win.

If they coast they will lose.

- Marc D


I'm fine with Manning playing, my first preference was to recall him or Alt over Gostisbehere. Just glad Ghost will be headed where he will get to play.

The officiating against the Flyers was absolutely horrendous and it played a part in the Flyers loss. The Flyers played well.... Thats all I have to comment on last nights loss.

Speaking of spiders...

http://www.wired.com/2014...ding/?mbid=social_twitter

The scientists described their estimate of 35,176 spiders/m³ as “markedly conservative” and “representing a minimum volume” of spiders

Perfect timing. It mirrors Colaiacovo's shelf life exactly.

At Friday's practice, Lecavalier centered a line with R.J. Umberger and Wayne Simmonds, while Brayden Schenn dropped down to a line with Sean Couturier and Matt Read.

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who had been centering the second line in Lecavalier's absence, dropped down to the fourth unit with Zac Rinaldo and Chris VandeVelde.

I like BSchenn with Coots and Read.

I like that Berube respected my #Keep10and40apart hashtag.

I like that PEB will be getting the 4th line going again.

I do not like that VdV is playing ahead of Akeson.

Vinnie and Umby had good chemistry the first couple of games. Of course waffles was playing with them. But I endorse these lines. I like the idea of Couts between Read and Schenn. That line looks like it could have some offense and shut down capability.

Hey, Bellemare, Schenn and Simmonds were great the last few weeks...let's see what happens when I split them up completely.
