Can somebody sum up the last two pre-season games? Has Mezaros looked like a stud again? Is Morin for realz?

Probably says more that he didn't look bad as opposed to he did look good.

You must have seen something you didnt like... OHHH, you couldnt watch the game so you just throw out some negative comment. Iseewhatyoudidthere.

Morin was the biggest surprise for me last night. The kid moves the puck very well, skates very well, and is VERY poised. He doesnt sit on the puck or hold it too long.. gets it moves it or shoots it. His shot isnt Chara like, but the stuff about him not having a shot is BS. The physical comparisons to Pronger are money. He looks and skates and moves like Pronger.. just needs to bulk up a bit. Hopefully this kid pays off in the long term.

More than once he skated the puck out of trouble by reversing or changing direction before making simple passes. He did show some poise, looks like he has a good slap shot.

One thing I did notice is that he needs to work on his quick release for shots from the point. A few times instead of wristing or snapping a shot he would wind up and get blocked.

He drifted out too high a few times in the defensive zone, but stuff like that is easily fixed.

I am encouraged.

And Timonen went in the 10th round, 250th overall. He wouldn't even have been drafted today.

Which (if any) of these Flyers do you think belong in the Flyers HOF (did not list players who started playing in the NHL in 07/08 or later):

Lindros
LeClair
Renberg
Gagne
Primeau
Roenick
Desjardins
Timonen
Hartnell
Knuble
Briere
Laperriere
Pronger

I think the only "locks" are Shelley, Bryzgalov, and Zherdev. Wanted to see who else you think should make it?
