"ManDog" would do a better job manning El Chapo's prison cell than the point on the PP...

Just use 4 forwards if he's going to be out there as 1 of the d men.

I don't get that. Why not use Del Zotto?

Flyers came out cautious in that period. Del Zotto in particular was a deer in headlights.

He's not much better but I would rather have him. I'd rather just have Laughton in there

Del Zotto has never been a very good PP point man, but some of the plays that Manning made on that were just really poor.

RJ is skating like Hakstol told him he's going to flush his pet goldfish down the drain if he doesn't do well. He has some zip, to his credit. He has 5 min ice time. If he were with VDHakstol and PEB, getting his 8-10 min ice time, fine. I still don't get why Laughton has to be married to him. Play Umby on the 4th line with the proper 4th liners.

He dumps it in every damn time. Pet peeve of mine in the pp. He also has never met a poopty shot he has passed up. Just very low hockey IQ. MDZ and Med were a pairing when Streit was out. It is strange Manning now goes in for MDZ. As I said, I think 4 forwards would be better with Laughton in. Chief used Laughton at times and he has a good skill set for it with a snipe shot and quick feet. I don't get why not.

i hear you, Laughton can play get umberger off his line. To umbergers credit he has looked quick tonight, but the guy couldn't bury a gift from God himself.

Top line and pairing getting pummeled. PP time and a rare good depth game is why they're hanging in it. What an amazing concept: proper depth gives your best players margin of error.

Del Zotto has not been very good tonight. Gostisbehere, despite the bad choice of an outlet on the first Cap goal, has been very good.

Gagner had a good chance around the net in the 2nd. Think the Flyers would be in better position had Weal played?

I agree. I thought Weal was far better in his limited time

Stating "amazing how Umberger dominates the subject matter" is not discussing a poster. It's commenting on what's being said.

Gotta think the top line is getting tired. Since the Couturier injury, they've been ridden pretty hard

Chances they've figured out how to close out a (frank)ing game?
