Pretty weak goal given up by Mason.
Possibly tipped but from that far out you would like to see your goalie make that save.

He's probably going to take the most time out of all their D prospects.

Totally. Not saying he projects to Chara at all but remember how raw Chara was as an Islander and even in Ottawa?

Gets credit for a half blocked shot

Oughta get a minus-2 for that one.

Christ that Wells Fargo commercial is beyond annoying and pitifully unoriginal.

Flyers save percentage with him on the ice was .958 before that goal. It's only going to get worse from here on out with him.

That one still needs to be stopped.

Yeah. poop happens though. I don't fault Grossmann for that goal. I just think he's been pretty lucky to be plus-10 (now 9) this season

It's never good when you're getting outplayed by Devan Dubnyk

So you see the banged up and becoming less effective Grossmann and the 37 year old Streit in the future?
- Jsaquella

Future is only 2-3 years. Grossman is a warrior and the best defensive defenseman on the team at the moment and Streit can easily play until he is 40. Kimmo was still effective, Jagr is still going, plenty of guys these days are playing longer than before. My version of the future has these Dmen until their contracts are up and then they are replaced by the younger guys. If you were to deal everyone now. You'd be left with:

AMac- MDZ
Streit - Grossman
Laurisden - Alt (Possibly let him stay in the minors)
Manning

At the end of the season, if Alt played well he gets a spot, if not you grab two UFAs short term. 2 Years later Grosmann is gone, Morin likely is ready by then maybe even before. Streit is done the year after and Ghost will be on his way up. Pronger's contract is now finally off the books. This frees up a good amount of space for any more Dmen to fill up the team if Haag, Sanheim and Pettersson are not ready.

The greatest blooper in the history of film. Except this is actually *in* the theatrical cut. In fact it's in every release except the newest Blu-Ray set.
