I'd put him back in. Sit someone from the Gagner, Cousins, Read line, I think the team will survive.

Line didn't do well last game but they really have been playing terrific. Having a third line that is skilled, forechecks hard, and is respectable 2 way has really changed the dynamic of the this team down the stretch. It's one of the reasons we are talking about "playoffs" imo. I would sit VDV for Laughton, who is essentially a better VDV at this point and capable of 4th line play...but that just isn't happening lol.

I'm looking forward to Medvedev's assist on Simmer's 30 goal tonight. (tomorrow...thanks jak521 )

And I really hope the last game was Jake finally breaking out of the funk he's been in since returning from injury. Anybody else not all that crazy about the Raffl, Couts, Jake line? I liked Raffl, Couts, Schenn prior to Cout's injury...tough line to play against.

Maybe this MJL phenomenon is a fluke. Let's do an experiment. How about you go away and let's see what happens.

Sure would be nice if the Phantoms were going to be in the playoffs. That would give guys like Lindblom, Willcox, Sanheim, Fazleev and NAK even more of a chance to get AHL experience.

Hextall must be looking hard at the coaching staff in Allentown, just like he looked hard at Berube after the Flyers missed the playoffs last season.

have you seen the lineup for a good portion of the season? and losing the top 2 goalies for the end of the season when they were playing well didn't help.

I think Hak is going to be hesitant to make changes with the team having played well down the stretch.

I would be in favour of putting Jake on the top line but doubt it happens. Couturier and Brayden seemed to have a little chemistry.

Really? Guess I don't see that tough forecheck as much as you do. And they are all on the smallish side of things. But they do have talent - hands, skating and good shots, plus Cousins' sandpaper.

Yeah, VDV seems like the guy to sit. But then do we have a hole on the PK?

Yup. Seemed like a hardworking 2nd line that put up some points.
