Oh, ok. I have a hard time remembering who "there" is who "here."

Sure...I'm not sure that there's enough AHL players ready for more than spot duty, though.

not talking long term, just to say to the NHL regulars get it together.

True...but Grossmann has not. Hartnell really hasn't, at least not to my eye.
- Jsaquella


I would agree. Hartnell was benched last season by Lavy, at least for a period or so. Nothing this year so far that I recall.

As for the d-men, Bill also addressed that issue too. If you take minutes away from Kimmo, Grossman, Coburn, or whoever else you may think is playing poorly, to whom to you give those minutes? There aren't enough d-men playing well to ice 6 of them. Gus hasn't played well either so far, and Gill is....Gill.

No, I agree with that, it's not as if there's a ton of options...but it does seem some guys get a lot more rope than others.

Is it just me or is the camera guy not showing the left side point when the Flyers are in the offensive zone?

ok seriously you have two forwards crashing the net......why not just shoot that and go for a rebound instead of trying a little touch pass.

Who in the hell was it that turned the puck over to result in that 3-1?

bring Sami back he was game enough to play D when they needed him to. Now that's a team player. Hitch tells him to play D and he steps right in.

That whole sequence, I believe starts with Giroux just blindly throwing the puck away in the offensive zone.

How many times do you have to be told to keep politics out of here? Plenty of right wing message boards that will let you get all this off your chest. Don't bring it in here.
