How bad is meszaros now?

Not sure how to quantify it, but he's one slot ahead of Hal Gill by a slight margin.

I've been to 6 Flyers games and haven't seen a loss.. I'm pretty lucky myself.

I was at game 4 in the boston series, Alex daigle's first goal as Flyer, and Roo's first goal this year... I win.

I've been to two Flyers games. Flyers vs. Penguins in 2000 and Roddy Brindamour's retirement ceremony.

Mez hasn't played amazingly well this season even though he's healthy.
I had hopes that he could put it all back together after 2 season of injury woes. The few games he has seen that hasn't been the case.
He's a 6 or 7 depth guy at this point. Good enough with limited minutes to stay in the NHL, but not a top 4.
That's my opinion of course.

Is he playing like a fourth liner? Or do you think he should be on the third line? Because just from watching him last year I can tell that he's massively talented.

And one more thing about the Sens that I've been thinking about, was Spezza the right choice for captain?

Mez looks like a guy whose game is a tangled mess and the Flyers don't have the luxury of having him untangle it in game action because of their terrible, awful, no-good start.

If Nick Grossmann were to get hurt, I'm not sure Mez would play over Gill in that scenario.

Maybe he would, but would you be surprised if they put Gill in Grossmann's spot instead?

It's kind of like how it is with Gus, he's and OFD, and Mez plays an OFD role A LOT better than Gill can. So it's like Mez is Gus's backup and Gill is Grossman's.

I would think replacing Daniel Alfredsson would have been difficult regardless of who they named captain.

He was there for so damned long.

...aaaaaaaaaaand there's your goal scorer, Tomahawk

Lehner's confirmed in net... it's going to be 1-0... coin flip on which team pots the lucky goal.

Coots was the 8th overall pick. But Couturier and Skinner have two different styles of play.
