Will be really pathetic if he has Voracek in the doghouse, but Hartnell, Rosehill and Rinaldo continue to play after taking stupid penalty, after stupid penalty.

If this is true I will be upset.
First move Berube has made that I don't like.

My only guess is, and I believe someone mentioned it earlier, that Berube understands that you can't bench a player into being "smart" per say but you can make them work harder. It's not even to say that, hey obv Berube thinks Hall is better than Voracek. Patrick Elias gave Voracek the compliment of being the second best forward on our team, and this year I don't think he's played like it. Granted this team hasn't been all there, but Voracek has to be a top player for us offensively/and decent defensively 5v5 and a huge threat on PP. I'm willing to see if Voracek comes out with his legs motoring tonight, before I say its a move I don't like. Because if he comes out flying, he obviously pressed the right button.

Just two games ago Jake was dominant, best player on the ice for both teams.
Maybe he was a step slow against the Sabres but damn.

Don't forget the maintenance day.

Maybe he's injured, guys. Or- was.

We can't speculate what happened here. We don't know enough about it. This whole situation is kind of weird and different. But ya know what? As long as we see Jake Scoreacek instead of Jake Onlyslightlynoticeablececk, like we saw a few nights ago and most of last year, I'll be fine with it.

Maybe chief just knows which strings to pull? Who knows. As long as they keep winning I'll be happy

How has Morin looked this year defense wise? I've gathered that he isn't pumping out the points yet but how has his overall game come along?

Because it's the Flyers it's possible but I'd still say he needs much more time.
