They need to move their (frank)ing feet. Watch any other team and they are always moving.

they're moving as a five an unit... flyers are not

Who would you trade for Gardiner? Also what would be your pairings then?

They want a roster player plus, don't they? Gardiner still hasn't proven much. Who knows. Trading Talbot wouldn't upset me too much. He has value but I think we would miss him all that much with some of the other guys around now. Not sure Gardiner is who I would be moving him (plus picks) for though.

Flyers are moving like 5 Brad Marsh's (no disrespect)

Not a bad call though...heart and soul player they could be looking for

Simmonds is particularly bad in this regard. Love his energy and grit, but he still needs work...like many on the Flyers.

Here's what I don't like about last game: Simmonds has earned nothing to deserve top line minutes. Nothing. I understand no one has earned much of anything, but this one particularly bugs me. Rewarding a guy for what ?

Agreed. Of course the flip side is: who has earned anything by way of their play? B Schenn, Read, Lecavalier and Rinaldo have earned their minutes...anybody else?

Outside the goalies, who have both been stellar so far (what a role reversal for this team), what player - beyond those already mentioned - has looked inspired as opposed to flat and dull?

No doubt. Talbot is the only other. But that means play 2nd and 3rd lines and piss the current 1st line off. sit em. They've done nothing.

Yup. It will be interesting to see what Berube does with an over-paid crop of under-achieving forwards. I'd bring up Raffl and McGinn for a game or two to see what happens, and without a doubt Homer should swallow his pride and reach out to Gagne to see if he would still consider coming to Philadelphia. He's a solid 2-way forward, something severely lacking in this current lineup, and he apparently has as much offense left in the tank as anyone on this team.

PS - goodnight, man...time to crash. Catch you this weekend for the games.

Amen. Good night. No reason Gagne isn't signed. None.

Edit: Gags, Lecalvalier and Simmonds
