I think is pretty obvious since day 1 that Voracek has a much more superior skill set. That isnt even debatable.

So trolling then. Because no one is having that debate except you.

Doesn't and never has? Are you purposefully trying to make us think you are a joke and not to be taken seriously? Or are you just trolling because you have nothing better to do?

Matt Read is not a highlight reel you clown.

Read up and youll see that M. Read was compared to Voracek. Again Clown!

I don't think you see enough of the league. There are 20-25 teams that would plug him into a second line roll in a heart beat.

I'm not even a huge Read fan but give the guy some credit and don't just stare at his 3 goals in 30 games this season.

You just need to sit and think a little longer. You're crushing the guy for no good reason.
- mayorofangrytown

I just have never been impressed with him and he is a big reason this team is in the dumps. He deserves to be bashed just as much as Vinny or Umberger.

I only compared their goal totals last season not their skill set. You plugged that in.

Its a little hard not too.... I cant be the only frustrated Flyers fan out there.

No tidings of comfort and joy round these parts, eh?

Not even close. Even if he was the same guy. He is a 3rd liner. A good one. Im just arguing against the Read lovers of the world who think he is some top 6 winger.
- GOA88

He had 34 ES points in 75 games last season.

Tyler Johnson had 34 in 82.

You made it sound like Read is comparable just based on their goal totals. Thats all I was saying.

No peace in our time

He had 34 ES points in 75 games last season.

Tyler Johnson had 34 in 82.
- Feanor

But if you watch the game you can see just how much more skill Johnson has than Read. Its not even close.

anybody got an advil?

Read has been playing thru an injury, and still has as many points as both of them combined.

I'm just saying he's no slouch when it comes to putting the puck in the net and if you're looking at the top 180 forwards in the league (top 6) than he falls well above the median.

Well that isnt exactly saying much. I think we can all agree injury or not he needs to be much better than he has been.

Iunno, aren't you supposed to be the educated one?

- GOA88

That's fine. Players bring different things to the game. You should watch Johnson play across a dozen games like you do Read and THEN come back and make the comparison. You're not seeing the holes in his game. Every player has them.

sorry if this is late.

have the forward lines for tonight been posted?

I am psyched for the return of The Cavalier, he is hungry and has been digging in deep according to the chief. so who is scratched?

Well that isnt exactly saying much. I think we can all agree injury or not he needs to be much better than he has been.
- GOA88

Really?

Yeah, damn him.. he should be putting up the same production as when he's healthy!

Well he is on pace for 8 goals this season. So.... what have you done for me lately? Vinny is held to the same standard is he not?

Well better than a 8 goal pace. thats for sure.
