Right now I think Bunnaman is contributing more than Patrick or Lindblom.

Wow, Patrick whole not great had a couple good plays. Lindblom with some nice passing none of them were overly noticeable, maybe lindblom

The game was a snooze. I see no reason to not to have Myers in tomorrow. Hagg really doesn’t have the hockey sense and Gus is marsh mellow man. Braun did well for first game back

Yeah for first game back but to say Bunnaman, I guess I was watching a different game. But it was a snooze

I mean, Oskar did hit Laughton with a nice cross-ice pass that set Scott in for the 3rd goal.

So who comes out when Konecny returns?

You would guess Bunnamon.

Does Patrick go back to 3c at that point?

- MBFlyerfan

Maybe. I think Raffl can also play center.

huh? Patrick played 14 minutes, 0 points, 0 shots on goal. What, your going to tell me he won some puck battles and was in the play more? When TK comes back, I don't see how you sit anyone else but Patrick at this point.

Yes, Lindblom made a few nice passes to Laughton today. But overall he had 1 shot on goal, so its not like he is lighting it up.

So why keep bunnaman in over Patrick? Even if he is the 4th line center Patrick is better defensively.

Nice to see the roster mostly back from protocol, make the balance of the offense and it’s depth show. Braun did look good. Defense and PK better as well. And the team kept up the shooting from last game.

Laughton is a really valuable key player for the Flyers. Laughton is an excellent and versatile bottom six scoring forward. Folks need to leave their issues with draft placement and skewed expectations in the past where they belong. It really sounds ignorant to hear bench him every time he makes a mistake or his game results aren’t there. It is also shortsighted to hear the seemingly constant call to trade him. No, they shouldn’t be looking to trade him. He is also more valuable to the Flyers than he would be in trade.

Okay, happy win. Rant over.

Says who?? What evidence do you have the Patrick is better defensively than Bunnaman? Bunnaman's 4th line has at times been the best line on this team, sadly enough. They have good continuity and I wouldn't mess with it right now.

Honestly, the way I feel about Hayes right now, I would sit him for a game or two once TK comes back.

Well for one, Bunnaman is an even player, and Patrick is a -4 +/-. But beyond the numbers, my eyes don't see Patrick being any better defensively than Bunnaman.

Bunnaman's basically top forward on the team in preventing shot attempts, scoring chances, expected goals and goals per 60.

Patrick is middle of the pack.

Patty against tougher match ups. Hard to argue against the stats. Guess he’s as good as coots then.

Laughton has got to one time that top shelf, he settled the puck first which killed his angle and allowed the goalie to react.
- jd250


The pass was in tight a little and the puck on edge. Extremely difficult to one time that top shelf.

I would sit Lindblom and keep Patrick at wing. And if Patrick does not do more I would sit him and put Lindblom back in. Bunnaman is a good 4th line center.
- jd250


Lindblom had one of his best games of the season today. Not the time to sit him.
