Ray Emery will get his first start tonight since he allowed 6 goals in #Flyers' 7-2 loss against his former teammates in Chi.

Just realized the Flyers have won 8 straight at home after starting only 2-7 at the WFC. I'm sure I just mushed them for Monday though

I don't like the combination of 19-10-17 anyway. Not enough diversity of abilities on that line.

Terrifying. Seriously though: did he do anything remotely well while you were watching? Because all he did with the Flyers was deliver illegal checks

he somehow managed to score a goal. but no, i would not say he does anything remotely well haha. i didnt think so when he was in the orange and black, and i dont think so now just because he changed colors. i dont care for players like that. if im being extremely generous, he has some speed i guess? still though, doesnt strike me as anything much more than a rinaldo type

I agree. I see him as a Rinaldo type but I think Rinaldo is better. Im not sure exactly why I feel this way. Id have to think more about it. I dont think its because im being a homer because I dont like Rinaldo. Maybe its that Rinaldo is usually able to draw penalties.

Clearly its Rinaldo's Amazing and Unparalleled PK work

He has speed and that's it. As maligned as Rinaldo is, he is certainly more responsible defensively than Harry Z. Harry Z would play 5 minutes every game on a good team and somehow manage to be -10 in 10 games.

obviously haha although yeah sometimes rinaldo does just annoy people to the point where they commit penalties. granted my sample size of harry z is mainly from flyers games, but i dont remember him drawing many. i feel like people just ignore him until he puts himself in the box. oh well, crosby is covering up for a big lack of offensive depth right now

TRADE
- ob18


I think the writing is on the wall for Hartnell if he doesn't step up his game. If the first and third line continue to play well, Hartnell will be bumped to the 4th line. Not sure that helps his trade value though.

Yeah Harry Z tends to do that. And Crosby always makes whoever hes playing with look like superstars. Personally I think that if you removed Kunitz and Dupuis from Crosby they would not look as good. Certainly they are solid nhlers but they just wouldnt put up the same points or be as good. What are the Pittsburgh lines looking like right now?

He never seems to have an agenda when he's on the ice. He just skates really hard following the puck.

Crosby could play with Rosehill and Rinaldo and still get 100 points. That's not even hyperbole.

yikes for the most part right now. even when healthy, the team does have some bottom depth issues.
