Have to think Gus, when healthy, get a good look to be no. 6.

Foster played 14 minutes?

I must've been dozing on and off during the play.

He had one bad moment I recall, fumbled the puck and took an unnecessary hit, but otherwise he played fine.

Kimmo Timonen had a rough day, but that's rust.

Yeah Coburn struggled with the puck a bit, too...he also had to be fighting rust.

He's going to make the decision hard, that much is obvious. Played a good, smart game.

Very good in the puck battles he had. Agree if that continues this will be a tough call.

So did the NHL make it up to you tonight? Pretty entertaining game out of the gates.

2 things from the Panthers game-

It didn't take huberdeau long to get on the board.
Peter Mueller has crazy hair going on.

Kind of expected the D-men who didn't play during LO to struggle.

typical game where refs give the penguins the game
- 2Real


You clearly can't be talking about the game today? If so explain to me how the refs gave the game to them..

Maybe it was the fact that the Flyers , other than Bryz, didn't show up in the first period?

Huberdeau is a beast...goal and an assist...not a bad NHL debut....and he's got two periods left

I was happy with the game. Sloppy early. Bryz kept it close.
Impressed with L Schenn's game tonight. Maybe him and Kimmo can be a pretty darn good pairing.
Laughton held his own for sure, real active in the o zone with the stick.
Wasnt happy with Couturier, his skating looks much the same as last year and he wound up on the ice a lot. He needs to get stronger.
Some serious size on D this year. I like it. Foster looked good
