I'm sure PEB will sit. Because, ya know, he's clearly the reason the 4th line has struggled
- PhillySportsGuy


I got nothing against Rino, but I sit him and Umberger if Vinny is being brought back to play center. That being said, I fully expect Umberger to be on the 2nd pp unit again tomorrow night because... Pickles.

There's a sure way to lock up McDavid or Eichel

I would really like to know how many goals the 4th line has produced. I'm not expecting them to score 30 goals but it would be nice if they could chip in a goal once every 4 or 5 games

I bet it won't.

I bet he goes :

12-28-93
10-40-17
49/18-14-24
36-49/78-18/76

Really? That will put me firmly in the Fire Berube camp....Well, the moving Laughton to the 4th line part anyway.

He's going to play center on a skill line, per Brooby's comments.

Just say Vinny centers Schenn and Simmonds then i hope Laughton plays wing with Couturier and Read. I don't want him cetering the 4th line just to stay a center. The fourth line could be Umberger-PEB- Rinaldo/White

That's my hope, that Laughton plays LW with either Vinny & Simmonds or Couts & Read. Wouldn't mind seeing Schenn with Couturier

Well the following 7 players have combined for 8 goals;

Rinaldo 0
VDV 1
Akeson 0
PEB 3
VLC 2
Umberger 2
Jones 0

I believe all of these players have spent time on the 4th line. When they scored their goals what line they were on I can't remember.

I think there is a chance the 4th line has scored 1 goal this year. When Rinaldo assisted on the VDV goal. Absolutely (frank)ing pathetic.

With the exception of PEB, none of those came on the 4th line. Umberger and VDV scored with G and Jake. Another Umberger goal was on the PP. I think two of PEBs came on the 4th line. So that's 2 goals from your 4th line

Is Vinny really that bad these days that he can barely even crack the lineup? He has to still be at least a decent PP player, no?

Im interested to see what kind of pride VLC exhibits from here on out.

Do you remember Major League? Roger Dorn, the aging superstar who was dogging it, gets called out by his team mates and his manager and starts throwing himself in front of ground balls and doing the hard things to win and stay in the lineup? That is what I want to see from VLC.

- MBFlyerfan


Here's what I expect from him:

Games 1-4: He comes out playing like an 18-year-old working to make the team to stay in the lineup, and plays an adequate all-around game chipping in some points.

Game 5-7: Returns to disinterested Vinny and is threatened to be returned to the Cote suite.

Game 8: In an effort to remain in the lineup, he comes out and plays the best game of his Flyers' career, potting 2 goals and 2 assists. Late in the game, he blocks a shot (something he took up in Game 2 of his return to help keep him in the lineup) and shatters his foot into 17 pieces.

Bettman, with a smile, declares that VLC is fit to play and Flyers may not use LTIR allowance.
