I think Read's age hurt him. Not important really, Flyers got a heck of a player in Read.

It's why the Flyers give picks away like candy

not like it's completely out of nowhere. he's a legit prospect and he's only 22.
- OrangeBlack27

Exactly my point. Next year when he's swiss cheese nobody will be talking about him.

He could be good one day, though.

Not gonna lie.. the helmet is pretty fierce.

He spent all his money on the helmet and couldnt afford a logo on his jersey

Nah, just messing around. Bored at work. You guys are a fun board, our board is just as bunch of guys whining about the same 5 topics over and over

So what's the difference?

Well with Holmgren dealing draft picks like they are Tim Horton's gift cards, Flyers have to sign college free agents and hope to find a player here and there.

So what's te difference?

It would be nice to see an actual hockey game played tonight. A win wouldn't hurt either

I'm seeing a 1-0 game won in double OT.

Shanahan has already set up a meeting with that skate

Couturier, as a guest of Comcast SportsNet's "Daily News Live" on Wednesday evening, said he was "knocked out" and "unconscious" after Neal's suspension-worthy hit late in the third period.

When asked for a clarification by the Daily News, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said it was the first he was hearing of Couturier possibly losing consciousness.

Couturier said he received a baseline concussion test after the game. When asked to further clarify his comments, Couturier admitted that he did say he lost consciousness on "Daily News Live'' but that he misspoke. Couturier said the correct phrase would be that he was "seeing stars.''

I did not expect Matt Read to win the Calder Trophy but had outside hope he'd at least be in the top three of the balloting. Finalists are Landeskog, Henrique, and Nugent-Hopkins. In all honesty, the right choices.

With the time RNH missed, I think Landeskog won the ballot. But we'll see.
- bmeltzer

I think this is just wrong. RNH and Landeskog do have more points, but thier teams missed the playoffs. Really if you look at which rookie had the biggest role, and contributed the most to the team it would have to be Henrique or Read... And because Read kills penalities and is better defensively with the offensive skills, I would have given it to him...

Kevlar neckguard anyone?

The defense is in absolute tatters. Going to have to probably score at least 4 goals to win, and maybe more.
