PP with 5 forwards and 4th line with 6 minutes even strengths
Rather unusual game |

Looking like JvR is finally recovered from his surgery. |

These idiots can’t do anything right |

Was there actual surgery done or did you just mean injury? |

Great win! A fun game to watch as well. With such long odds on making the playoffs and only 36 games to go, I remembered a little Flyers history. 1979-80 Flyers Longest Unbeaten Streak in NHL history. 25 wins and 10 ties. The streak was ended by the Minnesota North Stars. Can this Flyers team start a streak coming off a win over another Minnesota team? It would take a nearly record breaking stretch like the one back then to do the unthinkable. Of course, it doesn’t really matter what we think. Does the team believe? If so, I can’t wait for the next game. Keep ‘em coming. Let’s go Flyers!

At least Simmonds gave his trade value a boost last night.
All kidding aside, it was nice to see JVR finally earning his paycheck and even better to see Hart shake of a slow start to play really well in the latter part of the game and, best of all, Nolan Patrick stepping up with a great game. |

I love how JVR's game has changed. Seems like he was trying to do too much and be an outlet for other players. Gordon sat him down and said "This is what you do best, do that and nothing else", and bam this happens. For those of you that don't think coaching makes a difference....
and that time out..... |

Direct Quotes... per Bill
van Riemsyk has been on a tear since a brief partial-game demotion to the fourth line and a talk with interim head coach Scott Gordon about getting his game back on track. JVR said that his previous relationship in Toronto with Gordon built a strong line of communication between the two of them.
"I think he’s getting more volume. It’s one thing to get there two or three times a night but on a power play I think that was the area I felt he could be better in and I think he was trying to be an outlet in areas that didn’t provide him opportunities," Gordon said.
"I think for me the only thing that made it easier is the fact that I knew what he was capable of so I could fall back to our experience in Toronto. What I saw there and wasn’t seeing here so it was a good conversation. It wasn’t anything about being a poor player it was just about how to be better and be yourself." |

NHL network was saying it would take an Ottawa Hamburgular run of a few years ago for them to make it. Hmmmmm rookie goalie???? Could it happen? |

I don’t want to trade Ghost and I know he was great for us 5V5 last year, but say this 5 forward PP unit gets it going and actually sticks. Does this decrease Ghost’s value / impact for our team? When you take him away from the PP does he become more expendable for a trade? Again, I don’t want to trade Ghost, just curious and having a lil discussion. |

Combination of the coach, coaching the player, and the player, executing. It's not one or the other, it's both.
Hak tried it with Jake earlier and Jake pretty much said (frank) it. |

Do you think the next coach will use the 5 forward PP unit or will he try to sit down with Ghost and fix try to him? |

Anyone see Sam's tweet last night about a possible deal repoted by TSN but I guess was somehow a fake that was removed.
Simmonds to Edmonton for Puljujarvi and Talbot.
Just for fun.
YES or NO? |

No because I think he'll eventually be back there. I think the 5 forwards is just something to get a new look for now.
Gostisbehere's shot is such a weapon. He'll eventually be back there. |
