Some time in the offensive zone would be nice...
- wolfhounds

Just tuned in at start or 3rd. Kinda looks like they are laying back. Gas pedal needs to be hit. Did Z get ejected?

SCORE HERE YOU MUST

Bobby Ryan isn't overrated .

No guarantee that Gardiner will be a 25 minute a night top pair guy, either. I mean, right now, he's in the AHL.

Couturier is playing in the NHL and putting up some near elite level defensive play. Just looking at his zone start/end numbers is staggering-starts around 40% of his shifts in the defensive end and ends 60%+ in the other team's zone. That's elite level work.

No you're right it's not but Leafs fans are queasy very high on him. He's only in the AHL right now to rehab his concussion. Not to mention he's been ready to one back for 2 weeks now but once he's back up hes 4 games away from losing waiver exemptions so Toronto is naturally being cautious with so many extra D.

Also their going to have to lose a Dman to waivers to call him up. He played nearly 25 min a night last season.

Well, in a way he is. People think he will come here and somehow become a 50 goal scorer playing with Giroux.

Time to pick up the pace...and the flyers are going on the peeeecoooo powerplay!!

2nd pp unit is so bad

Kind of interesting last year under Burke he was considered untouchable. I think he has potential, but "potential" for any player is such a dangerous word.

I'm high on him, too. Got a lot of potential. I didn't realize it was a rehab stint, though. He's the kind of defenseman every team wants, for sure.

As for waiving, there's a rumor out there that Komisarek has asked for a deal or submitted a list of teams he'd agree to go to, and it has like 27 cities listed

- Lexington Flyer

Yup. Big open-ice hit. Almost certainly going to be suspended. Left his feet - just barely - before the hit.

Too many rebounds given out front by Breeze.

You pitched your trade, asked our opinion, we gave it, so might as well drop it.

rinaldo is so valuable to this team

Rinaldo is becoming a fantastic agitator in front of our eyes

Briere can't win any board battles. Gagne, however, looks good, creating some nice scoring chances.

Rinaldo is playing so well

Is briere playing tonight?
- Philly1980

Been all over the ice.

Two nice stops by Bishop

If they blow 2 straight PP opportunities this has a bad ending written all over it.

Hes been useless for the last two years, trade him or buy him out simple. Tell him we have a trade in place for you, accept it. Or we will buy you out at the end of the year.

Rinaldo again...

looks like a 3-2 shootout loss to me
