would morin really be worse than having manning up here? seriously
- JoeRussomanno


The only thing about big players like Morin, I feel, is that they really do need repetitions at professional pace. I want to get a look, but I do probably think he needs more time, and his transition might not be seamless

I'm talking about recently, not the entire season.


VDV played more than Voracek last game and almost as much the game prior.

- Nucker101


What I just posted was about the current game. That's pretty recent. Vandevelde has 45 more seconds in the Ranger game. They're playing on the same line, and if PP time and PK time is pretty equal, their icetime is going to be similar. I don't like the line, and I want it changed like everyone else, but the team is winning.

The team might be winning, but I'd argue that it's more due to the natural ups and downs of a season for a mediocre team more so than emoting Voracek and overplaying VDV.

They're winning because they're playing better hockey overall, and are starting to do more of what it takes to score. Players like Bellemare and Vandevelde are normally on the 4th line, but with some injuries and changes in the lineup, they've become 3rd liners playing with Voracek.

Question of the night: who will have more wins in December: 6rs or Birds?!

Agree to disagree.



Also, calling up Ghost has been huge as well.

On the Hoffman goal, Del Zotto did step up and try to break up the play at the line, and the puck got by him, but he got zero support from his teammates. All 3 forwards were up ice on the same side of the ice, and there was a complete breakdown in structure, leaving the other side of the ice wide open.

What are we disagreeing on? That the Flyers are starting to score more? Or that Bellemare and Vandevelde along with Voracek are the 3rd line now?

Not sure, but I'm guessing the over/under for both is 1

That Voracek should never under any circumstance being playing wth those 2 and VDV should never be playing as much as Jake in any single game.

And benching Medvedev in favour of Manning is idiotic.

I don't like the line, and I want Voracek put back with Giroux. As long as Voracek is playing with those two, their icetime is going to be similar, unless special teams in terms of PK and PP time are significantly different.

There's more to it than just choosing Manning over Medvedev.
