Grossmann looked pretty decent prior to the penalty. Taking the body and playing positionally-sound.

Red Wings pp not quite the same without Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Franzen, let alone Lidstrom. Surprised with Franzen out that they wouldn't dress Bertuzzi, you'd think he could fill a similar role on the pp

Jsaq is going to have a field day with Grossmann making that mistake

Flyers just have no effing idea how to get out of their zone. With Detroit and every other good team its one touch passes. With us its get the pass, stop skating, look around and pray someone isnt covered

Yea the D does its job and throws the puck around the boards but either none of the wingers are in their positions or there is nobody else there for support

It was a dumb penalty, but he hasn't been bad at all tonight.

Omg, can we tell the pod people we like this Jsaq?

Yeah, I know, none of their stars are in tonight. Overall an ok period. Good PK and PP, and Mason looked better. Got hemmed in their zone for huge stretches though. Hopefully they can build off that.

If he played like this, sans penalty, everynight, I'd never complain about him.

yeah he has...he flubbed a pass that most nhl dmen would handle behind his net, keeping us hemmed in, and he took a penalty all this against an AHL squad.

Gus has been the best. Pushing the play up the ice and retrieving pucks

Nice one

I agree. Hes playing pretty well. Hopefully he can sustain it and not take anymore penalties this game

Honestly I have a hard time liking any single player on our defense. I tried... I really tried.

Each one is a decent nhl player. They are too similar or asked to do far too much to make our D strong.
And Coburn's nose? How can you not adore him?

dude not a one. how'd you like coburn standing there with the puck in front of mason, wondering how he can see around his pecker of a nose, only to get stripped and tripped up.

Looking at his whole body of work since joining the Flyers, how can you not like and respect Kimmo Timonen. He may have lost a step but he works his tail off and has the heart of a warrior.

If every guy on this team played as hard as Timonen, they'd be a lock for the playoffs!

I like his work ethic, hate the mix on defense. It's a bad group and that doesn't help. It's worse that he's with Streit.

Coatsey listens to everything you say. EVERYTHING.

Yup, pair Grossmann with a mobile, skilled partner and he would be fine.

Aye, Streit does not help him. Course he doesn't help Streit either. I'd like to see them split up.

Swedes everywhere outraged by that comparison I'm sure.
