But they are getting chances, and aren't being drastically out shot. That is progress. Umberger is starting to get more chances. Hopefully at some point, one will go in for him, and he can get out of this hole.

True. I still think I'd at least move umberger off that line and try raffl there with laughton and vinny. Those two might be fast enough to create space for vinny to find holes .

I'd like to see that line also. Raffl/Laughton/Lecavalier.
- MJL

didnt you spend an entire season arguing that vinny should be playing center

When they scored that second goal I was about to get mad MacDOnald backed in too much (again) and gave up the cross-ice pass. Then I realized it was Del Zotto.

But the team showed character to come back and get another two goal lead quickly.

He's getting soft

So would I.

I'm copy pasting this and sending it her. Thanks.

No problem, I hope it helps her. Like I said, it's just important that once you're on it you stay on it.

The whole sitting for a few hours for your infusions thing kinda sucks but I was able to catch up on a lot of reading so I didn't mind too much.

That was last year. Laughton wasn't on the team. The reason I'm moving Lecavalier to RW is because of Laughton. He's playing too well. Lecavalier can play RW. Can't play LW.

If no one else gets hurt between now and Raffl's return, Umberger is going to end up on the 4th line. Berube thinks Raffl is a first line player most of the time.

What goal are you talking about?

Their second goal.

Watching the replay now it started when Umberger got beat along the boards in the offensive zone.

So, how'd they look?

According to war on ice, Jake and G have the highest relative corsi in the NHL

Not surprised. They drive the train.

Their second goal.
- Feanor

I don't have a problem with Del Zotto there. That goal is all on Luke Schenn. For a second or two it looked like it would be a 2 on 1.There's a subtle mistake that he made on that play. And it's the same kind of mistake he made on the PK. This kid just doesn't want to move his feet at times, and puck watches. That shift where that goal was scored was Schenn's first 3rd period shift. It was also his last.

So, how'd they look?
- BiggE

Good. A few rough spots, but they had a solid team effort. Coburn had a great night. Giroux, Voracek and Schenn were great. Laughton looks like he's staying. Couturier line had some good chances. Mason was very solid

Couple things need shoring up, but overall a good, solid team win.

If what I hope happens and its raffl-Laughton-Vinny. Then what happens to the 4th line when white comes back? Bellemare is a lock then who fills out the other spots out of white , rj , rinaldo?

Not surprised. They drive the train.

Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds both have better Corsi numbers then Giroux or Voracek.

Meh. Don't waste your breath there will be other injuries

Rinaldo/Bellemare/Umberger

Quiet!

With guys like Raffl, Bellemare, and Laughton the Flyers are accumulating excellent secondary pieces to that top line. I love the speed, skill, and grit these guys bring.

Yep, need those kind of players. They can skate and pressure the puck. That's what the game is all about these days.

Rinaldo/Bellemare/Umberger

Could be an ok line.

Does anybody on here think we would get anything good for Luke schenn in eks latest blog from edm? Actually what would co burn even get from them? I tend to be a homer and think out of line

And build the tracks
- PhillySportsGuy

They're so much fun to watch. Schenn has been a good complimentary piece on that line.

Wow Calvin Pickard just robbed Semin.
