What did Rinaldo do? NHL.com has a long list of penalties for him.

Either way Nichuskin isn't making a difference on this team... People put way too much into the draft, when it takes about 10 years to really grade a team's given draft.

Not at all. He's a rookie. You mean to tell me he would ha e this season single handedly turned around?

Think maybe read should get a shot up on the too line with giroux and voracek?
- JoeRussomanno



As nuts as this sounds, I'd think about putting G's line out there vs that line... hopefully get them playing more in their own zone.

He came on for a shift dropped his gloves and started pounding Roussell, got a shot in in him when he was down in the ice and Roussell kept his gloves on.

2, 5, 10, and a game

This team was likely taking a defenseman no matter where they landed, draftwise.

And, right or wrong, I especially doubt they would have taken a Russian in the first round.

Maybe..Im just annoyed I forgot to dress Seguin on one of my fantasy teams.

Also gets Coots' line out against a lesser foe, hopefully they can generate some O.

With all of the off ice stories about Seguin, it's easy to forget how talented he is.

It got touched on just a second ago, but I agree with the sentiment: As much as I hate line juggling, the lines we typically have aren't going to get us back in this game.

I don't know what Chief's going to do, but moving a couple of guys around might help some, at least for the rest of the afternoon. The Benn line is just not containable by Couts' usual line, and we've got to get that under control if we want to pretend like we can steal a point

Nah
The D needs to be reworked
I think he is an impact player and going to be great.
Even Getting Seth Jones wouldn't have saved this season

I think berube should have some earl grey delivered to mason while he watches the rest of the game. ...
Another superb performance from the goalie wasted this year.

Make up your mind. Would Nichushkin make a difference or turn the season around? Two quite different things.

He absolutely would make a difference.

As he matures yea he'll be a great player it looks like. For now no an 18 year old kid isn't doing much for this mess.

Look I'm not watching the game because I'm studying for finals unfortunately, but come on guys.

"__player X__ wouldn't have saved the season?"

Save the season? What do we need to save at this point?

Fresh off a rousing comeback against the Wings, they were holding a playoff spot for a short while, AFTER starting the season 1-7. Don't give me the "Eastern Conference sucks!!!" bullpoop either because it doesn't matter how bad your conference sucks- a 1-7 start should not get you in to the playoffs unless a team does something remarkable. Which is what the Flyers are doing. Berube getting this team to hover around .500 is something I never thought would happen, but here we are. Right in the middle of the fight in the Eastern Conference.

But we have to save the disastrous season.
