AMac has been playing well in my opinion.

Yeah I went there.

Sean offers value that doesn't always show up in the stats and box scores. easily do that deal.

What good players, excluding those on entry level deals, do you think are not paid accordingly?

Agreed.

He hasn't blinked once in like the last 5 minutes.

He has been playing fine for me too. But I am of the belief that Ghost is lifting him up with his own stellar 2 way play right now...and all his flaws I've seen in the past are still there. He's the same player, playing with a touch more confidence and a very good partner. In a vacuum, if he's a 5/6 guy, it isn't world ending. He's better than Schultz and Manning imo.

Dammit. I thought VDV was on a 1 year deal.
- Mononoke


Be thankful. He'd probably be getting a new 1 year deal and a raise by now if he wasn't already locked up for 16-17.

I don't. We all saw how they have been for the last three years at ES

Schenn has been more consistent, and losing Grossmann and MacDonald helped in certain ways

- AllInForFlyers


Considering his minutes mainly went to Manning that didn't help at all.

And Manning's actually gotten worse as the year has gone on. The amount of suckage he packed into 12 minutes today was almost impressive.

Eye test said everybody was getting caved in at various points today, but yeah, I did notice Manning was pretty awful

- MBFlyerfan


He looked adequate for stretches

Hey, I don't despise the guy. I always felt he was a third-pairing player and doesn't make or break them if you play him like that -- and you should try really, really hard to play him like that

MacDonald has lead the Flyers in ice time since he came back. I've never liked him being used on a shutdown pairing, even with Coburn, but he can play a lot of minutes.

Hakstol noticed, too. His ice time dropped as the game went on, only getting 5 shifts and 3:28 in the 3rd.

Flyers great goaltending is killing them now. Panthers wanted raffl but didn't wait around for the flyers. I get a feeling we might get caught with our pants down

Hudler put up like 130 points over the last two seasons. The asking price for Raffl needs to come down. Way down.

If that rumored price is true, I think it shows that they want to re-sign him and would only move him if a team bowled them over with an offer, such as 2 2nds.

The Ghost-is-fixing-AMac theory would be more plausible if MacDonald have didn't overall good possession numbers last season outside of the time he spent with Grossmann. He could be playing with Streit or Gudas right now and be doing just as well.

However, I think a Schultz-Mac pairing would be bad in much the same way Grossmann-MacDonald was bad.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like Bjork.

Also, Bob looks like Scarlett Johannson and Schneider looks like Jodi Foster.

Watching Toronto-Montreal, and Dear Lord, with no Phaneuf and JVR, the Leafs have one of the worst gameday rosters I have seen at this level, and that's even with Reilly and Gardiner in the lineup, and useful guys like Komarov and Parenteau
