The eye test. He is falling all over the place and always 2 strides behind..."Really good for missing 2 years" is not exactly a glowing endorsement. And he will not get better if Tortorella keeps running him into the ground

I would see an eye doctor if I was you. Couturier is an extremely effective player still and there is zero issue with his skating. You misunderstand the comment. It's not that Couturier is really good for a player that missed two years. It's he's a really good player still despite missing almost two full seasons. Who is only going to get stronger.

I'm shocked Coots hasn't missed any games with Tom Wilson falling on the back of his leg. Guy is tough as nails.

Can we take pressure off Torts for the Jack Adams and shed light on Couturier for the Selke?

Why do you have to be here 24/7 to document and support your statements with some facts. It doesn't take 24/7 to use google. What are you talking about? You sound like a fool! Yes, it is fantasy. Go back and look at pre-season predictions. See how accurate they are. For anything! Do you know how many of these people that you claim know a hell of a lot more about hockey than me, picked Edmonton or NJ to win the cup? LOL. Could still happen but both are in a fight to just make the playoffs.

Yes, you do need to explain why that would make me sweat. Again, you're acting like a fool.

If we look at some of those pre-season predictions. Washington, Arizona and Vancouver along with the Flyers were all predicted to be in the bottom 10 in the league. So much for their expertise. Again, I'll ask why at this point in time, is Tortorella a favorite for the Jack Adams over those other coaches? Vancouver is 1st overall in the league! Tocchet is the obvious favorite for the Jack Adams at this point in time. Why do I need to explain that to you?

Nah you are on here 24/7. It's cringe and embarrassing. Please do get a life

He should be a Finalist for the Selke, no doubt.

Say what? What you talkin bout Willis?? Edmonton was picked by a bunch of Canadian pundits and I would still consider Jersey a Cup favorite once they get their act together. The Tocchet hype will die down quick. He's a blockhead that just likes to scream and threaten folks. The Caps will crash and burn, and no one cares about the Desert Dogs that play in a 5,000 seat arena. You got that? Thanks! Torts for Jack Adams or bust!!!

All Detroit so far

Nice to see the 1st period pickup where the 3rd ended from last night.

The flyers don’t look good so far.

Atkinson loses his check again. He really needs to take a seat!

need to see more York on the rush

That's what I thought. You have no answer. Both you and jd250 living in fantasy land.

Looks like it’s going to be an ugly night

I understand it's the 2nd of a back to back but sheesh


Of course as I type Brink scores.

What a whiff lol

Brink and Farabee should never be split up. They play so well together.

What a whiff lol

Anyone else find that the Detroit coach looks like dr evil?

I am at the game *wink* *wink*

Brinks goal really woke us up. We looked very passive.

Konecny WTF you thinking?!

Jesus, the entire 4th line went to the box

Edit, no Laughton is just handing out laundry

Looks like it’s going to be an ugly night

Flyers have stabilized in the latter half of the period.

It’s not even half way through the season….Tocchet has done a great job in VCR…I like the Job Torts has done. Both the caps and Yotes are much like the Flyers and are playing better then the so called experts were expecting…the Jack Adams is wide open….just like every other December.

I was thinking Gru from those Minion movies

Hathaway got his money's worth on the roighing call, throwing punches on 2 players.

Brink and Farabee should never be split up. They play so well together.

They do have some nice chemistry.
