Oh yeah.

Flyers would have won that game last night if Giroux was in the line up BUT HE WASN'T BECAUSE HE HAS AN ELBOW INDENTATION ON HIS FACE

SUBBAN WAS PROTECTING HIMSELF

nah I think we played better without giroux last night and it's proof we can trade him and be fine
- 2Real

all I know is Giroux was out and still Umberger didn't draw into the game. thank (frank)ing god

2 goals or less in 33 out of 59 games. Absolutely absurd.

Where is the goal scoring coming from next year?
- PLindbergh31

Everyone knows the Flyers were simply unable to score early this season. Well how about lately?

that makes sense. i'm glad this was addressed
- funmaster18

glad i could share our well calculated conclusion with you sir

You want the Flyers to sign him? O.o
- Tomahawk

I actually do.

Unlike others he is young and can be part of the future. He is a legit sniper. I know the money will hurt next year if the cap is stagnate. I understand all that. If you can keep guys like Cousins and Laughton and add Leier, Bardreau, Provorov, Alt, Konecny to the lineup you can save money and still fill depth.

If you can move a guy like Read to clear some cap. And if they do find a taker in Streit I think it would be worth it.

I know it's not a popular opinion. Just one I would think about. If Stamkos was older I wouldn't be up for it. But when do players like him ever reach FA?

yeah right he was probably whispering taunting insults into his ear

They should send Simmonds after him.

Been chasing a slew of rumors, but I was just told by a very reliable source that Ilya Kovalchuk may be leaving Russia and signing with an NHL team before Monday's traded deadline which would make him eligible for the post season...

The source contacted me just as news broke in Russia that Kovalchuk will NOT play Games 3 or 4 in his playoff series versus Lokomotiv fro SKA and has been stripped of his captaincy.

The two teams Kovalchuk would most likely be signing with are NJ and Toronto from all indications.

If he wants to play in the playoffs why would he go to those teams?

I'm interested enough to explore this option if he does hit FA. If he was used as center for his natural posotion, our depth at center would be remarkable. And if he was on the top line with Jake and G at wing

the first data point was comparing hakstol to alain

So Stamkos, G and Jake... who gets to be Lebron?

Like us when Vinny and Pronger were still on the team back in June 2014.

Vinny and Pronger were likely coming off the books after next season no matter what

I thought NJ still owns his rights wouldn't the other owners have to approve if he goes to Toronto? Also, this guy is unreliable as (frank) why would you want him?

Giroux is clearly still trying to draw the penalty. Another 4-5 games should sell it well enough.

HE DIDN'T GET FULL EXTENSION, IT PRETTY MUCH NEVER HAPPENED

Maybe they should of.

But look now with all the cap questions for next year. Lots of people stated we should have held onto him until this year and tried to move him.

Maybe Hextall was smart to get out in front of it before the cap didn't go where people thought.
- J35Bacher

I never said they should have kept him. I'm arguing that Hexy sold low on him. That's my belief.

I was thinking they could be more like Duncan, Parker and Leonard.

I like the Spurs.

- Doc_Sarcasm

lol

To be fair, I don't think Eklund is implying that one of those teams is playoff bound, rather he was just pointing out that were he to sign by Monday he would be eligible.

From there I was stating my own wonderings.
