Look how big the Flyers look. Must be 15 ft tall minimum. That's the size this team needs.

Also, this looks like a satanic ritual.

There is no way I could be an NHL GM because I would want to use logic when discussing rule changes

Now that you can't use a TO after an icing, when the hell are coaches going to use timeouts? They'll just save it for a challenge because that's the only time they really use one.

It's a hell of a defensive strategy too. However, if the Russians break at the right time, it could lead to an ill-advised 2 or 3 on 1.

Also, where is the goalie? Why pull him with a 3 goal lead? Freakin Hasktol.

When you go down 3-0 in the first period of Game 7, obviously.

Now that I think about it, that image really does define Flyers hockey. Only competent in the NZ, might as well play without a goalie and only with 4 skaters, we corral Russian players, and never possess the puck or score because apparently there isn't a puck -- and you can't make a costly turnover with the puck if you never play with a puck, as Hak always says!

Yes, but the Russians are only icing 4 players as well.

But I am glad to see they went back to Manning/Provorov as a pair and have Konecny playing up with Raffl for a nice O/D compliment.

I saw FlyersGrace's profile and it reminded me of that "The Flyer" superhero thing, and then it went downhill, fast.

"Should I save my timeout to call a challenge later in the game?..........or use it now to give a pep talk that I could give at any of the 3 minute long TV timeouts?"

Also byes will possibly be 15 teams one week and 16 teams another week. First two games after the bye against teams that did the same bye week.

And Sweden wants prospects kept in Sweden not the AHL.

Game Observations:

- Liked Weals game. I know he doesn't seem like a top 6 or top line guy but to me he is reminding me of Conor Sheary. Maybe he's not but he seems to be fitting and looks comfortable in the top 6 right now.

- Good to see Giroux score.

- Couturier line played well. For all the talk of Couturier only being a 3rd line center, recently no mater who he is playing with they seem to be a consistent line.

- Gudas with a huge game.

- Nice to see Konecny score and getting his legs back. With things moving along right now, not sure I move him yet. If they do I wouldn't mind it be on Couturier line with Read. Cousins has played well but I think Cousins can play with the 4th line too and still be a pest. I think Konecny needs to be in the top 9 to get the most of his skills.

- Mason wasn't at fault for goals but he did seem off. Little sloppy with rebounds and puck control but nothing super bad. Just looked a little off.
- J35Bacher

I like the Filppula trade because he takes a lot pressure off both Giroux and Couturier. I think Filppula should be apart of that PK mix.

I'm annoyed that Weal and Cousins have seen more PP time this season alone than Raffl in his entire time spent here

- SuperSchennBros

I don't think this is correct. Raffl had over 100 minutes of PP time last season. Cousins and Weise have 70 and 60 minutes this year, respectively.

they'd probably prefer to be rid of both.
