2nd pp unit definitely looked shaky all game

you gotta think that having danny or jagr out there would've made a difference

Not bad but he is indeed slow.

It will be interesting how him and the D core hold up against a pretty fast Sabre team today.

I noticed the gap between the forwards and the D yesterday was smaller than it has been in a while. Maybe thats something Lava "adjusted". To me it did seem that the forwards werent able to get up to speed too much. We will see whether it was just the fact that it was the first game in such a long time or if everyone is trying to be more aware of helping out the D.

The Flyers really do need a more mobile guy on the back end.

If that gap was bigger so would the goal differential have been. I'm wondering if it was a biproduct of the team's rust or the fact that the dmen aren't as quick footed.

C'mon double G with the flyers chant, gotta game today! I even let my dose of Benadryl pull me back to sleep so I'm ready!

Thats what I was saying.

We will see in time. Every team I watched yesterday looked rusty as hell.

Flu? Seems like everyone is sick this year.

Agree. Simmonds looked very good. I was disappointed in Coots and Jake. Hopefully it was just first game jitters. Jake looked slow. Speaking of slow...our D looked soooo slow. Where did Coburn's speed go? Seems like the Flyers went a little overboard gathering big defensive dmen to protect Bryz.

coburn just has to get his legs back. we have an obvious need for a puck mover w/ wheels. expect gusty to get every chance to get a regular spot.

It will be interesting to see. They already have 7 D men on the roster, and 11 D men counting against the Cap currently.

if we had the contract space, would you have looked at redden?

And their puck handling was still better than your spellcheck!

Back off
still learning how to type with this thing

- isaiah520

What did he get $850,000 for one year in St. Louis?

Thats less than Shelley.

Me either..I think both he and Gomez were looking west for a new start.

But did you ever really think he was close to scoring?

I guess my expectations are a little higher for him. In my mind yesterday he should have looked like the 5th or 6th best player on the ice (counting both teams) and he's not there yet.

Voracek did rip one off the post... We just didn't get the luck

benadryl? who takes that ancient remedy? zyrtec, claritin or allegra, my friend

My allergies usually are a non issue in the winter. So I grabbed some Benadryl the other day. If this don't stop by the time I'm out of Benadryl ill breakdown and have my license recorded in the government data banks.

I just don't get it. I also don't really get the point of Fedotenko.

Thats what I was saying.

I wonder too if Lavy will apply different amounts of jam to different teams. I definitely think that "up tempo" style would have blown up in their faces yesterday.

Get out of that east coast Limelight. Surprised Gomez didn't go for the comfort of Jersey

Wtf happened to her?
- Flyersgod

Don't tell me you guys would kick her outta bed? That's how a woman should look.

Well they might be out of the limelight, but welcome to a crazy amount of travel..

Adds some defensive awareness and grit to the forward corps.

I Was thinking that as well. But hey, It Sure beats riding a bus in the A. than you new CBA

We will see. But it's not bold. The Flyers gave up 2 goals to a team that is much better then the Sabres, and a much faster team. If the Flyers play well they can handle and beat the Sabres.
- MJL

I dont know, I watched the whole game and the Flyers did not impress me nearly as much the Pens.

I think some of you are way over rating your Flyers, but I guess we will see today.

I am not sure what to expect from the Sabres. They have Miller, they have a lot of talent and they got team tough.

I think I am where many Sabres are, not sure what to expect but with Miller anything is possible.
We are all excited to watch Grigorenko today as well.

Good luck.
