I have cough medicine with codeine, I will fear no evil

Time for some Nyquil too. That puts me in a coma.

Your PIgMs are workin hard right now. Be sure to thank them.

Gill is a better fill in for Grossmann than Mez. Similar style of play and he can pick up some of the PK minutes.

Does anyone know why Grossmann is scratched?
- BiggE

I guess you're right. They don't want to use Gus, Streit or Mez on the PK very often.

I didn't say he had the Irish Flu

Grossmann has the Flu
- Jsaquella

As long as he doesn't cough on Giroux or Voracek we should be alright. The Flyers need another huge game from the 1st line tonight and Emery is going need to bring his "A" game as well.

hmmmmm

The kid thinks the game really well and thats something that is both hard to teach and rare to find in a young player. Couturier is an even better example of this.

When it comes to scouting forwards, I have to give the Flyers a ton of credit. They do it as well as any team in the league. Hopefully Morin, Hagg and Ghost will improve their grade on scouting dmen; I'm still trying to recover from Jeff Woywitka, Kevin Marshall and Ryan Parent!
- BiggE

It is freakish, how well those guys can spot forwards -- they do it as well as anybody in the league. Actually, I think the Flyers spot forwards, from top to bottom, better than anyone in the league.

But yeah, our luck with defensemen...I don't know WTF happens there. By all reports, Marshall and Parent were physical specimens who played hard and were tough enough, good leaders.

But...wow. Clearly, neither of them were all that good at thinking the game and actually playing it.

I wouldn't want to use Streit or Mez on the PK at all!

Raffl remind anyone else of Read?

honestly, he reminds me of gagne sometimes. it's probably just the #.

I think you may quickly see some changes on lines 2 and 3.

I think it's harder to scout defensive defenseman.

Yeah...they don't want Vinny taking faceoffs.

Tonight would be a very good night for Line 2 to really have a good game, being physical and grinding on the Blue Jackets in the offensive zone.

Grossmann out. Hal Gill in
- Jsaquella

now that's a surprise. wtf is going on over there?

It's the number. Gagne at 22 years old had more offensive skill on his pinky than Raffl had from his whole body.

Flu.

Grossmann has the Flu

the columbus flu, eh? bah.

you're probably right, but i can't remember back that far.

well lets look at the bright side, Gill is at least well rested!

Sometimes...it's been borderline ridiculous how unlucky we've been with that.

We've drafted them, traded for them, signed them. Very few have been worth the effort.

The guys they've missed on have all been defensive defenseman. That's what scares me about Morin.

Mez is right where he belongs

Kings win again. Goals by Carter and J. Williams. WHY CAN'T WE GET GUYS LIKE THAT!?
