Interesting...Dave Isaac appears to be wondering if Hal Gill might be in tonight, though no one has announced anything.

Gill probably in for L. Schenn. Mobility upgrade.

Flyers trending on Facebook

Yes in a secondary scoring role he's amazing.
- JoeRussomanno

In the 11/12 NHL Season, Giroux scored 93 points in the regular Season. And 12 points in 11 playoff games. Was he in a secondary scoring role that Season?

That's another Ayer they waited 8 years too long to get.

I guess Dan Carrillo should be in the hall too I mean he was on altar team and win the cup a couple years later with Chicago

Really?

Future first ballot hall of fame and one of the top dmen to ever play, was 34 and coming off a 48 point season.

Anyone with any common sense makes that trade every day of the week.

Yes cause everyone needs their ltir quota filled with overage players.

i said we should have claimed ellerby
- 2Real

and you were definitely right about that.

Really he played 48 playoff games?
- JoeRussomanno

My bad..when 2Real asked how many last year I thought he meant last season.
Because you know the playoffs hinge on one player.

As always, Holmgren has won a trade. He's a genius!

As I said, laughing stocks of the NHL

The Flyers current record this Season, has zero to do with Downie and the post you made.

That trade was a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

- JoeRussomanno

he'll play 48 this season after we trade him to colorado for landeskog

uh this is the 13/14 season bro
- 2Real

Good point..12 games is way more indicative of the quality of a player then 3-4 seasons are.

He quietly put up meaningless points... I don't mean to be brash but it is what it is. When they signed him last offseason I said he wouldn't live up to that contract... An 8th of the way into the season and so far he has a stupid injury and no goals.. He's over rated.

Whose fault is it that Pronger took a stick to the eye, and suffered a career ending injury?

ok danny heatley

he'll play 48 this season after we trade him to colorado for landeskog
- 2Real

Landeskog and Talbot and Im on board!!!

He wasn't still in his prime. That trade burnt us
- JoeRussomanno

that was absolutely a great trade for the Flyers at the time ... although obviously Pronger being hurt changes the perspective. But at the time he was exactly what the Flyers needed.

It's too bad that Luke Schenn has to clear waivers to be sent down.

Before anybody takes my head off, I'm not saying "I hate Luke Schenn" or "I think he's an AHL player" or "He can never help us."

He's just a player right now who looks like he could use a couple of weeks down there playing massive minutes, while working with Terry Murray -- who is one of the best teachers of defensemen I think the Flyers have ever had -- so he can get his game in order.

You can't do that at the NHL level, and in this case, what Schenn needs, to me, is to play a huge amount of minutes and then get some strong technical instruction.

Pronger brain might beg to differ.

Another good point..
32 year old Danny Heatley
compared to
25 year old Claude Giroux.

- JoeRussomanno

and you base his 55 playoff points as meaningless on what?
You base is regular season points as meaningless on what?
