I wonder if, with the promotion of Voynov, if a defenseman is really that paramount to a Brown trade.

I think the Kings want a more proven guy for their playoff push.

I would not trade Voracek, in fact I would try to resign him as he was flying last night, he was by far the Flyers best player last night and created lots of chances by his skating alone
- Daceroni


The problem is, Voracek couldn't bury a midget with a backhoe. He's doing a lot of good hard work, but it's sort of like watching Mikeal Renberg after he returned from Tampa Bay, just not able to finish

Maybe it's just one of those things a team can go through sometimes. Vancouver and Boston went through it early on this year. I think Detroit had a bad spell to early on. Either way within the next month they need to get it together or they might not even be in the playoffs.
- JoeRussomanno


Problem is we keep saying they need to get it together for some time now. When should we expect this to happen? Their in the final stretch of games. Its now or never at this point.

Certainly possible, but They will still need more consistent production up front, too.

Yes it is fair. I was discussing this on twitter last night. Laviolette has made some questionable calls, and really hasn't made adjustments that have helped to stem the tide of mistakes on defense.
- Jsaquella

I gotta give Lavy one more full season before I turn on him. A lot of youth on this team. THE post asg nosedives that Hammarby mentioned are irritating the Seravalli out of me too. Really wished we stuck with Hitch a few more years. Heck Buffalo's been with Lindy Ruff since the mid 90's

This isn't just a little hiccup. It's a prolonged slump of inadequate play. The last 20 games have been brutal. That's 1/4 of a season.

Not liking where things are heading.

Agree, the skaters didn't compete last night. The loss wasn't Bryz's fault but he wasn't fine. He's not controlling rebounds and can't go a game without giving up a stoppable goal. At least he only gave up one; that's an inprovement.

I'm not turning on him, I'm just questioning some of the things he's done or hasn't done.

I have had questions since last season, especially in terms of making adjustments to tighten things up and to get the team out of a funk. I'm also not calling for a firing at this point. I'd just like to see him make adjustments to stem the tide a bit.

LAVY is not on the ice. Lavy is not flubbing all those shots. I think he might be ready to kill Bryz (and probably others) in his/their sleep by now. I can't say I blame him.

Well if this continues, I guess there will be another coaching change. Not sure what coaches are even available.

Why trade Brown? IMO, LAK like Brown as "player," not as enthused about Brown as captain. IMO, only matter of time til Mike Richards gets C.

That's my concern: if Lava is removed, is there even a lateral move to make at that position?

bryz's best game this year, not so much for the offence....boy they looked way out of sort.

im concerned with schenn, he seems to get alot of vital scoring chances and does not deliver, jake had some great chances also but did not capitalize...although i seem some good chemistry between the 2.

all we need is the offence to play like it did in winnepeg and bryz to play like last night at the same time and we will have a steam roller going thru teams.
