Has Couturier scores since being made captain? Has Tippet scores since signing his extension?
- mr4tno


That's easy to check. OT has 5 points in 7 games since Jan 26th. Couturier has 0 points in 3 games since February 14th. Two very small samples.

Laughton has term so you can be a little patient with him if you don't get an offer you like. Walker or Seeler, one of the two, have to go. I wouldn't even care if they both went.

I actually think Carolina would be the best possible matchup for the Flyers. Obviously they (Canes) would be favored, but I could see that being a very tight series with lots of one goal games. They aren't loaded with firepower and their goaltending isn't gonna really scare anyone. I know they were picked by many to come out of the east at the beginning of the year, but that happens every year and they seem to disappoint.

Fair points but Carolina won't sit idle at the deadline. They'll look to improve.

Samuel Ersson earned the win in goal with 20 saves on 23 shots.


Think this needs to be corrected.

The Frost line dominated last night. Bill's talking about it on twitter right now.

There’s also video of those comments and the hosts in the pregame were talking about it last night too.

Flahr had an interview a couple days ago with Flyers Daily...said he is as advertised.

He HAS had some serious illness this year. Was out with pneumonia for some time, came back and it seemed like it was a bit early. But dude is still looking slick as poop

so funny seeing cement head follow the other innovator using 11/7.

train keeps rolling. Hope TK gets 40 + goals and drives up the price tag to re-sign him.

Do you know if they have injuries up front? Might want to check that out cause they usually do not roll with 7d.

Sounds like you're scared. I wonder what vermin you resemble.
- TobyFlenderson
Really? Always done just fine with the ladies and look 10 years younger than my age, and I'm in good shape for my age, but yes, I'm scared. I'd really love to send you a pic, but you have to send one first. LMAO!!!

ND can't even hit now. I saw several occasions where the puck carrier passed the puck and then simply stepped sideways. But boy did ND punish those walls...
- mr4tno
That's hilarious that you mention that. I saw the same thing at one point last night. I was like, did you see that heavy check that ND just threw into the boards? The guy was already 4 steps away when ND leveled the boards.

I do hate the leafs but I really like Matthews. I wish we had him. I just go back tot he stupidity of paying all the forwards that much without seeing any playoff success. It’s high time they change it up and trade marner or nylander for some defensive help. Also seems weird that they’re better without him.

Of note, we get completely inundated by the media with leafs all the time even when they are bad. It’s beyond annoying and for some reason many of their fans are quite arrogant despite a lack of success. It’s like the yankees except they don’t win championships

It would have to be a really good defenseman to trade MItch Marner. Like Cale Makar level good.

He'll probably still have some trade value down the road if they eat 50%. He's basically the next Luke Schenn/Bogosian/Jack Johnson. From unlimited upside to toolsy role-player.
- Tomahawk


He's completely lacking in hockey sense.

Do you think any team is giving up a Makar level dman for Marner? As you like to say.

Imagine thinking Mitch Marner would fetch you the best Dman in the league. Talk about delusional

Good points.

IMO Mario was the best ever. Guy could just score at will in a hundred different ways. And he was putting up 50-70 goals in the trap era, which is nuts. Pavel did too.... what a shame neither of them had OV's longevity and health.

The great one said if Mario stayed healthy, he would have broken his records.

I think it’d be a top dman but think that’s a stretch for marner. A very good young top ten dman should fetch you marner and maybe a pick stud dmen are harder to find than an elite scorer Marner is good but I’d explore trading him for sure. Him or nylander. They simply can’t find success with just these nice forwards.

Without a doubt.

Didn't love him when he was active b/c Penguins, but in retrospect what an absolutely perfect hockey player.

Y'all sleeping on my boy Mitch. Not only one of the top playmaking forwards in the league but also pretty darned good defensively and also an elite PKer.

I dunno about Makar but you could definitely get one of the best dmen in the league for him 1 for 1. Even at his cap hit he provides tremendous value.

The only problem is that he's UFA bound soon.

Name a top Dman that he would get 1 for 1, far cry from makar. You can get Noah Hannifan 1 for 1. Drafted 1 spot apart.

Exactly. Yep problems there. What we gave up to get him and what we signed him for. Probably the worst move by fletch once he’s done the contract he could be a decent bottom 6 guy for like 1 mil a year.
- Hextall271

Personally I think the coaching staff could squeeze more out of Risto. We haven’t had a net front presence on the PP all season and I think he has the best point shot on the team. When DeAngelo got bought out, I was hoping we’d use Risto on the power play.

I wouldn’t even think of trading Mitch Marner. If Matthews is 1A, I believe Marner is 1B
