Korchinski needed to take away the passing lane, or at least make it more difficult to complete. Way too easy for Johnson to make that pass.
- LAHawk

I blame Jones, that goal is his fault.

Turn out the lights
The party's over

Beauvillier making a great case to not be signed next year.

Anyone know why Mrazak was barking at Megna on the 3rd goal, think it was the 3rd. As heated as I've seen Mrazak this yr..... That said he's as shakey as he's been in a long while. Bad reads, biting on everything, floppin.

Wouldn't doubt if LR brings in Soderblom to play the 3rd and let him dig a few out.

Murray ain't diggin KK or The Kid's defense. Good to hear some objectivity.

Plus skater, better than average hands, high work rate, late 1st rd pedigree and still can't put it together. Win, lose or draw a good swing by KD on Beauvillier.

LR replaced Beauvillier with Donato on Bedard’s line.

Whole Hawk defense is playing like statues.

Good Line

Missed tonight unfortunately— assuming Jones is making his best case for the Norris trophy again tonight?

Colorado is playing their backup tonight. I expect he’ll get a shutout tonight.
- DarthKane

Good call Darth.

I think the Bedard Kurashev line has had zero goals since they took Foligno off the line. Bedard has had one PP point since then. LR split the line up after Bedard had 3? The line needs someone who can get in front of the net and dig pucks out of corners. Donato and Beaulivier aren’t the answer.

Yo LA, how dem Flyers lookin? .... Soft rebuild/retool, move Provorov and Gureaux and keep Courtier, Atkinson. I believe you like this kinda rebuild, but if not correct me.

6ish pts up into a playoff spot, Laughton and Walker UFA's after the season. You trade em for picks or reward the group for playing 20 pts ahead of where they were thought to be? Torts doin his thing.

GMing ain't easy, LA. You make the call.

Edit: Is this the mushy middle, LA?

I was wondering the same thing, Pops. Also, it seems Kurashev has been quiet the last couple games. ........ Bedard is really showing some frustration. Foligno and his structure/veteran game is a great fit for Bedard right now.

Katchouk have surgery, get traded or something? Haven't seen the guy in a month.

They trade ‘em for picks. They won’t be able to replace Hart at the TDL, I don’t think they add unless they feel the player is an add beyond this season.

What does Nashville do? Another soft rebuild launching Duchense and Johansen that is currently in a playoff position?

Yeah Katchouk got benched after missing the net on multiple breakaways. Good question. That said, I'd rather see him out there than Donato and Entwhistle is interchangeable with Katchouk in my eyes.

Rico they have Michkov on the way too. Looking up for the Flyers.

Katchook got benched because LR wasn’t happy with his attitude on the ice. He is a goner after this season.

Good Line
- 6628

You know what 66, I know LR didn't want his fragile group to get murdelized but I still thought he'd pull Mrazak to start the 3rd. ...... He was choppy and just not right all night, was barking out loud at Megna, he was pissed.

If Mrazek gets into a funk the squad is screwed. Rather lose this tilt 7-0 than chance Mrazak gettin funky. But, I guess that's what a vet goalie will give you. These kinds aren't usually fragile and can work thru stuff like this, but still, I sit him in the 3rd.

Yep, and they had a blue chipper in Gauthier until the kid decided he didn't wanna be a Flyer. And they're going with a rookie goalie and the kid is producing. ... Really nice story in PHI this yr.

Whatya do, Pops. Sell and miss the playoffs for more and better draft picks or keep the thing going, make the playoffs and who knows?...... This club is never an easy out.

What were the odds on Rado shutting the Hawks out? -240??

The mild mannered/measured coach with 1,400 NHL games has a doghouse?? ..... Yea man, I don't get it but LR never did seem to dig Katchouk this yr. The team sucks out loud, so it really doesn't matter save for who gets those valuable NHL minutes, but if I wanted to win I have Katchouk and Guttman in the lineup.
