Jesus, this is awful

Just saw the news report on that a few minutes ago. What a terrible tragedy.

Add in G needs to shoot, best one timer on the team, he is just known for the assists
- wcorvette

He seems to be shooting more this season, he has 31 goals.

They did a good job of keeping the puck out of their zone, even gudas and manning

Sure seems that way and that should only help open up lanes to pass

Real sad, can’t lie, seen it flash on my phone and thought of the Flyers prospects

I agree on G, man fans were pilling on. Other boards like csn and Philly.com it was real bad. What doesn’t get said is that G is an iron man, yeah people mention he was hurt but the guy plays through ever everything and in his worse season still carried the team.

I shared the same thoughts on Read, under 1 mil sign him, unless a rookie blows your doors off or there is a can’t miss deal out there. 3C, we discussed that yesterday, unless a vorboyev overwhelms in camp, they need to see what is out there. I love simmer and I hope he is the 1st star today and had a great playoff. On the other hand with Patrick and the prospects on the wing, plus 10 more picks, if you can package him up for a good 3 C, you look at it, real hard.
- wcorvette

I have to admit i didnt see G doing this well.I thought he would be a 60-75 pt guy going forward.Putting him on the wing has opened things up for him.Especially with the goals.If he stays healthy i think he can have another good season next yr.

They will, and it will be Giroux to lead them. I truly believe that. Talent will overcome incompetence.

If Hakstol is incompetent, you have nothing to worry about. He'll be fired. I suspect in the end, where the real incompetence lies in that statement will be apparent just as it is now.

At least we don't have to win a shootout this time. We just need to get there

Not sure he was referring to Hak or just the Suspect players

Yes, and because its The Flyers... that is almost certainly what will happen.

I have 3 ranger fans on my team. I think I will skip my game if the flyers lose

It's ok. You can remind them that they squandered a 1st ballot hall of fame goalie's entire career.

Good call, I’m playing

Best case scenario today is flyers win,jersey wins,Columbus lose,stlouis lose
- flyeredup85

I don't believe the Flyers can pass Columbus but they can pass NJ so Flyers win and NJ loses. St Louis loses for draft pick purposes of course.

As long as the Flyers don’t squander the career season by Giroux, Gost, Couturier etc by missing the playoffs.

Know what else? I think they can easily be better next year, even if Giroux (likely) regresses to between 65-80 points

They could lowball Read if they chose and keep him -- maybe 850K on a one-year, take it or leave it -- and use those savings to get a real roster player to push Weise down to the AHL, which gives you what almost has to be a better fourth line of Read-Laughton-Effective Player

Then you let Flip walk and use that money to get a younger, faster, grinding legit 3C in here, which makes that third line better, whether you keep Simmonds or not

Then you use the savings from Read/Flip, plus what you get from burying Weise or Lehtera in the minors, to bring in a legitimate defenseman who is better than Manning or even Gudas -- that kind of player is out there. Rumblings in STL are that a guy like Jay Bouuwmeester might get bought out, and while he isn't the player he once was, a guy like that on the third pair is certainly an upgrade

I cannot believe, as well, that Neuvirth or Mrazek are going to be the No. 2 next year. And while backup goaltending is always a dicey proposition, I think we all can agree that the Flyers could get a bit more out of that slot

I just think they are gonna be even better next year, even if Giroux slides -- and people should be a little more forgiving when that happens as opposed to the last couple of years
- AllInForFlyers

They will not bring Flip back will they. There has to be better options out there for that position for the money

- nastyflyergirl

Flyer can end up in 3rd in metro and pass CLB and NJ by winning their game and CLB and NJ both losing.
So if that happens they get Pitt.
