Why would people wait for Farnham to make him do something dumb? He's been doing dumb stuff without any help at all from Farnham for years and years!
- Doc_Sarcasm

They figured he and Farnham could have a dumboff.

You absolutely, positively have to be Zac Rinaldo dumb. Which, by the way.. he is.

If Hextall had the slightest doubt about canning Berube after this season, that last period should have taken care of it.

Coaching was definitely the issue in that period.

Im pissed Lauridsen isn't in there. i was looking forward to him scrapping tonight

it was a dirty hit. and not one that i like being in the game.

but it wasnt worse than some of the poop the league only gives out a game or two for.
- stayinthefnnet

you can take some comfort in the fact that when your team responds w/ an equally dirty hit there will be no call despite the ref having what appears to be perfect position to see it

their getting outshot 17-3, but i like the way their playing

Who takes Rinaldos roster spot. Akeson... Or maybe just maybe Rosehill

If he can make it here in time.

I don't think he has any doubts at all ... he just figures why bother now? Dump him after the season and then go after Babcock if he's available.

They will have Akeson and White drive up together then send Akeson back to LHV

When Zac Rinaldo is getting more ice time than the NHL's leading scorer, yeah thats coaching brilliance

thats brilliant! image saved.

Isn't Manning a scrapper? He has racked up the pim's in AHL

Spit out my drink, thanks for the laugh.

There is no way VLC should ever be taking a draw against Crosby at home.

Too much skill in the lineup... need moar grits.

Greiss's save pct. is... less than good.

surprised he's not ... if there's one glaring weakness of this team, besides the lack of balanced scoring, it's the lack of physicality. Especially on D.

- PhillySportsGuy

So they will have Akeson drop White off

My money's still on Emery

I questioned it a few days ago, and brought up that they had been outscored. Guess you missed that
- Jsaquella

Well normally I do hang on your ever word...

Still question why he was even given an extension
- ob18

You know, I admire the kid for how hard he works. I mean that. Sixth-rounder, fights his way to the league -- 300 PIMs, a lot by brawling, is a tough way to make a living.

But you cannot play him. I didn't want to say anything because I was hoping he would play those extended minutes and prove me wrong, prove everybody wrong.

But every single time you try to expand his minutes, this is what happens. Every single time.

He's not smart enough to play this game, and the Flyers need to use his roster spot to bring in an actual hockey player who is

Flyers always role lines in the first period, especially on the 2nd night of a back to back. Shift totals were pretty even through all the lines at ES. As the game goes on, the Flyers would shorten the bench.

- MBFlyerfan

Look at the ice time. Rinaldo had more TOI, despite a minor and major, than Simmonds and Voracek. Brandon Manning had 7:22 of ice time, 3 minutes more than Mark Streit.

The players got outplayed, but Jesus, Berube sure as Hell didn't use his best players as much as he could have

My money's still on Emery
- BiggE

Yeah but that could be with someone on his own team for letting him be a shooting gallery
