Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/18/14 vs. FLA

Jimmy Hayes
22 games, 13 points, +2

Thanks Bill. Will someone please send Coby to the Pens dressing room? I hear that the big head disease is going around. Maybe then, our PK will improve. Sorry, I don't mean to wish anyone ill will, but if they keep playing this guy.... I think that Coby is the new Matt Carle; easy to pick on, but everyone will miss him once he is gone. How we have short term memories, and feel that the grass is greener on the other side...lol. But, I will stick to my guns, and vote Coby off the island.

The Panthers tight defense as a team is the kind of thing that has been the Flyers downfall over the last few seasons. We saw it in the first game against Florida this year. Let's hope tonight's game is more like the second game they played against the Panthers.

Coburn has definitely struggled. It seems like whenever he is the main guy on defense, he falls apart. We saw it when Pronger went down and Timonen was hampered by age. Maybe it's a mental thing with Coburn. We know he can be a good defenseman and is a definitely a valuable player. Maybe he's got a lingering injury. Who knows? Coburn probably.

Thank you

my work for the day is done

Any prospects on the ducks that are appealing?

The Flyers will need to get ahead early, I think, to have a good chance tonight. Force Florida to open it up, and maybe get away from their game.

The trouble is, they have some kids who have the skill to hurt you if you do force them to play a more aggressive offensive style.

Are you serious... MDZ a healthy scratch again?! WTF!!!


...because, you know.. this D lineup on the ice is doing fantastic. MDZ sucks, and they're all Norris caliber defensemen who aren't making mistakes. WTF Berube... Seriously...

He said it yesterday, when discussing Vinny. MDZ remains a scratch.

Outside of Carolina, beating anyone isn't easy for this team.

What is Chief really thinking he is going to,get out of Vinny sandwiching him between those 2? Vinny will get 8-9 minutes and do F-all. It will also be interesting to see if Vinny gets Zombies PP minutes.
Let Vinny play first line and put it to rest!
I really have to believe Ron ( lottery) Hextall had a dream all year to be in top 5...lottery that is
