Damn that is poor rebound control
- JAKEw1234


Nowhere near as bad as the "coverage" provided by Grossmann. The only thing he was covering on that play was the label of his undies.

I honestly would be in agreement for that with an upgrade to the blue line. I could see a Voracek/1st rounder for a quality puck moving defenseman. Maybe send Mark Streit too?

I don't know, but a puck moving defenseman and a sniper who can skate would really be beneficial

Isn't moving Streit for a puck moving dman redundant?

More of this 2 goal or less horsepoop. 21 out of 27 games now. It's getting (frank)ing old

Sure but even more so now, it's within distance and this is the poop that shows up.

I doubt the flyers are scoreboard watching. Also doubt that sliding into a tie for 3rd in the division with 60 games to play is extra incentive.

He's a 3 I think. But why move him for a better dman when you have plenty of other valuable pieces to move?

Its the Flyers fault for not imposing their will on a good team. They should have about 35 goals by now without allowing a shot on goal.
- jmatchett383


Minny plays very disciplined. They are blocking a ton of shots, getting into passing lanes and supporting the puck. That being said I font think the flyers are playing up to their capabilities.

honestly, it's a little his fault. Not totally, but he is to blame.
- JAKEw1234


I dont see how a goalie who has to come out and stop a slapshot like that can be at fault. His priority should be making the first save. He did that.

Ok sure you're right who would want to be in 3rd.

I don't think anyone would argue that their blue line needs upgrading. But Coburn is a solid 3.

Trading Coburn makes no sense.

We need a goal here...

3rd with a week to go is different than 3rd with 4 months to go. So much can/ will happen. Right now, it's 2 points just like every other non-conference game.
