I always liked him, and felt sorry for him when he had the gruesome injury.

I have no idea how I'm reacting to this all until I get there Saturday. Still a little meh. Except about G. Always excited to see G.

The broadcast was awful. Kept cutting away from the action on the ice to show JJ, Morganti & Clement gabbing or to show Lisa Hillary starting a "Pens Suck" chant or John Clark teaching a moron how to beat on the glass

If this is the case then I won't mind Laughton staying; but it will change when Briere comes back.

Yeah, if he's seeing similar minutes to what Couturier got, keep him up.

I dont know if I would waste a year on his entry level deal just for a 48 game schedule..especially if Briere deal is done after this year

I wouldn't either but if he's getting good ice time it might be a really good way to break him in but if he get's shifted to the 4th line when Briere comes back then I think it would be a waste to burn the year.

Exactly and I would rather see him get more ice time in OHL for one more year then see him wasted on fourth line with rinaldo and maybe even be a healthy scratch some nights....we shall see

If he's playing 4th line, but getting PK time that bumps him up to similar minutes as Coutruier was seeing last year, I'd be somewhat OK with it...far from ideal, but the key is minutes.

8-11 minutes in the NHL is as good as 17-20 in the OHL, so long as he's getting that regularly.

For those that want to buy out Briere...well that second line kinda sucks IMO.

Coots centering that third line...that I like.

I still think we need a scoring winger.

I would think Bryz and Briere are buyout options, but not unless you can use the money to upgrade.

When you push the envelope, you will make a few mistakes...but stuff that fans can look up online in under ten minutes should not be gotten incorrect

Forgot to mention the Titans great overtime victory in they're 11:am home game on Wednesday. They may be lacking a lot of Flyers prospects at the moment but still one of they're better games of the year (for all 100 people there).
