He's played several games in a row too. He was due for a night off anyway. I give him credit for battling and he played a good first period. I just don't understand why he's playing.

Well, the head coach and Rinaldo must be on the outs, because he's enjoyed the amenities in the Cote Suite for quite a little stretch here.

Maybe Rinaldo doesn't cuddle enough?

I guess people aren't getting what I meant.

opeth said if Berube had Tom Wilson on his team, he would bench him for playing too aggressive.

What I meant to say was that's stupid, because he played Rinaldo consistently when all he did was play aggressively, stupidly. He's only sat him when chemistry with Vinny and the 4th line took place.

Dingoburnaby wasn't so annoying.

You keep setting me up and I'll keep knocking them down.

It was back spasms initially confirmed no? Then rumors of a knee?

At this point he could be pregnant for all we know.
- flyer_nutter

He had back spasms around Christmas. He felt discomfort yesterday at practice, rumored to be his knee, had an MRI that showed nothing. Said he felt OK today, but sure seems to be struggling a bit with something, just the way he's moving, and flexing during the lulls

Yeah, I don't think going with Ray tonight would have been the worst idea. I guess the idea is to go with the hot hand. If it weren't for the undisclosed tweak yesterday, It'd be a no brainer to go Mase after his game vs Ottawa
- Jsaquella

Something is clearly bothering him. Every player is going to say he's ok. The coach and management need to do whats best for the player in this situation.

Could be gas. Maybe he just had to fart real bad.

I wasnt going for Rinaldo as much as I was the fact that the Flyers dont play a physical game at all.

It was an attempt at making fun of the Corpsebergers that Berubue has turned this team into.

The player also has to be honest. If medical tests don't show anything, then feedback from the player is all they can go on. If he aggravated something there in the period, then he needs to sit out.

yea like what does a goalie do if a monster poop comes on? can't exactly wait for a line change

Yeah, even if he felt good today, it's very possible he tweaked it. I'd be very cautious with him the rest of the way tonight.

He is " unscratchable" in Berube's book but unplayable in every other coaches book

Butt plugs or depends briefs.

- opeth_pa

I guess what I'm saying is the way he played Rinaldo until he couldn't, he seems to have a soft spot for guys like that who are useless except for "aggressive play." I don't think he's turned this team into soft players, I think they just have a poopty mix of playing styles in general.

I mistook your point. My bad.

Didn't Luongo have that problem against Dallas in double overtime right after the 05 lockout? It was the playoffs, too. Just didn't come out of the lockerroom until half way through the period.

Is Grossmann back for this period?

Apparently Couturier's face isn't as cute as Ov's Butt, right?
