After watching the Flyers video, it looks like they're skating on the "Phantoms" side of the Voorhees Skate Zone. IIRC, the "Flyers" is the side that is being renovated.

Also, it is great seeing Nicklas Grossmann out there. I hope he has a stellar season paired with Coburn.

While that seems to make the most sense, Lavy has an affinity for Gross and Coburn playing together so it wouldn't surprise me if they keep them together.

Also could see something like

Kimmo/Coburn
Schenn/Streit
Gross/Gus

So there isn't a player anyone has been impressed by seeing play live?

I have a good feeling about Gustafsson going into this season. I really hope we find the right partner for him this year.

Who can tell me who he was paired with when he played so well down the stretch last season?

I like this OK.

Although I think the 1st PK pair might be Coburn/G-SS-NN

I think your guess is a pretty safe bet. I don't think Streit will touch the PK and Gustafsson will only be on it if one of Timonen, Schenn, Grossmann or Coburn go to the box.

Kimmo/Schenn
Coburn/Mez
Gross/Streit

There is no doubt in my mind that, if healthy, Mez is a lock for a spot.

good to see morin is playing tough. hope he keeps it up early to let people know his name and create fear/respect then really focus on making progress on puck moving and offence.

answering this makes me feel OLD so let me go with the recents. Easy is Lindros and Forsberg up front, Mark Howe on defense and in net Pelle and Hexy. assuming you as asking for just Flyers.

I like those combos. If Mez is traded, slide Gus into his spot. I Don't want Coburn with Streit. Coburn needs a more all around partner. Grossman is better suited to play with Streit IMO.

He was picked in the first round of the draft. Everyone knows who he is. Just play the game and get better. No need to run around looking to get even.

No way G-NN makes it to December. Streit as a new Flyer is doomed as well.
