Here is a tough question.

Who scores first moving forward. Rinaldo or Hamburglar?

I will say Rinaldo even though he gets less ice and NO PP time

- 3flyerkids


Probably Umberger. Esecially if Couturier & Read start producing. He almost had one last night

I am curious to see white play. He can skate and plays more physical then VDV. Also I think he has more skill than Rinaldo
- J35Bacher


He's better than Chris Van deVelde, but so are most NHL players. He's nothing special, more of an Adam Hall type.

If White enters the lineup, it will likely be at the expense of Vandevelde. Now they just need two more players to replace Rinaldo, and Umberger.

Well they could dress 7 dmen and sit Rinaldo but we all know that won't happen.

Umberger just got a goal on the West Coast trip. Rinaldo couldn't score in a whorehouse with a fist full of hundreds.

It's imperative Rinaldo plays! He brings physicality to the team.

No Sir. MacDonalds contract is an albatross.

If you could make one of Umberger, VLC, or Amac a CBO, who would it be?

Depends whether or not Vinny is seriously going to retire. If not, I'd go:
1. Vinny
2. Amac
3. Zombie

There is something strange about it for sure. He has no right to be there. I would try Raffl or Bellemare...at least they can move
- 3flyerkids


I would honestly prefer VLC on the 2nd pp over Umby any day of the week and would rather give Bellemare more ice time than playing Umburger in any situation

Agreed. Superstars like Giroux and Shea Weber are only available as top-5 picks.
- jmatchett383


I hope you are just being sarcastic seeing as Giroux was a 22nd overall pick and Shea Weber was the 49th overall pick...

Umberger is a player that has had success in the past as a net front presence on the PP. Lecavalier is a more of a shooter that sits on his off wing for one timers on the PP. Two different kinds of players in two different roles on the PP.

Nonsense. Every knows that Giroux and Shea Weber were taken in the top-5. How could any good player ever drop that far? You're ridiculous.

Hitler also had success in the past. Are you saying you want Hitler on the Flyers PP?

Hitler had success playing Hockey, didn't know that about him.

I'm not telling you what I want, I'm stating why I think Umberger plays on the PP.

Well, no. Maybe he'd be a better coach or commissioner. I can't speak to his ability to play hockey. But much like Putin, I think he'd have had some good success in the past if he'd played during his reign.

Also: Jokes.

Anything is possible. I would play that Mandela guy on the PP against the Leafs.
