If the Flyers finish with the 5th worst amount of points in the NHL, how does this draft lottery work? Are they assured of picking no worst than 5th, with a chance at moving up?
- PLindbergh31


Why should the end up this way ( 5th worst ).
They still believe that they are able to make the Play Offs.
Even if most fans ( me included) do not think it is possible.
11 point out now and 1 point out at the end of regular season is better then
looking at draft

So CSN did a segment on whether or not we should trade for Brodeur.

Like that seriously just happened.

Well, I would be more mouth agape depending on who they said should be traded?

ALS is probably my favorite zeppelin song. the 3 separate - what i'm calling "drum/cymbal fills" - from bonham are just epic.

Bonzo kills it for 10+ minutes on that track! Dude was a "god" of drumming!

Depends on who they put there. They could go with a two headed monster. I think that line could produce more goals, but worse possession if they put Lecavalier there. If they put Bellemare there, less goals, but better possesion. They could alternate based on matchups, game situations, etc.

Why not put B. Schenn back at his natural position at center and put Raffl back on the top line? Add Rino back on the fourth line and move up Bellemare or VDV to the other lines?

The Flyers do not think his future is at center. That's the only reason I can think of.

I'm guessing the CSN Production team does their story meetings at one of the XFinity Live bars at 2am.

Yes, it's literally all over the place. Unfortunately for every good one there's a bad one.

Really great Italian food can be expensive around here for sure. Dinner for four at my favourite place comes in around 175-225. Needless to say it's a once or twice a year thing.

I would like the name of your favorite, moat.

We had really great greek food in Radnor last time I was out there. Estia or something like that.

That kind of logic will take Chief 2 weeks worth of games to reach

It eventually happens but it takes a bit

kudos for playing Zepp last night, I thought that was a great call by Berube

I would have to agree with you on that one. He is playing well and our 3 centres are strong with G, Couturier, and Laughton

On the goal last night (I was watching the NBC feed) I thought the clearing attempt crossed the blue line out of the zone and Niskanen moved it back in before he shot it.

Never did see a clean replay of it, but no one complained on the ice so I guess it was OK, but I was yelling at the TV for a bit.

need a big bounce back game tonight....yes they deserved a better fate last night, but you are going to lose games during the season that you outplay they other team.....Problem is they have had too, too many 35 minute efforts to offset games like last night...
thought Niskanan hit was clean...but would really like to see someone come to a "rookies" defense....I really do not like lack of response.....I watched Mcquad from Boston beat the tar out of Nick Schultz for less...didn't like it but respected it.

I think Schenn will be moved and his new team will play him at center.

He is keeping him at wing because the organization wants him as a winger long term. Yes he might spot duty at center on games when someone is injured but they want him on the wing. I know Berube controls the lineup but this is more of an organiztional descision

I'd rather them not take a 7-minute penalty in a 1-0 game for a clean hit.
