well sharks shut out in back to back games and the kings can't score lately either. Ducks tonight their coming off a loss will the flyers be their elixir or will flyers take it to them? I expect the flyers to play well actually in these games

Didn't you hear? They're bringing in Ben Scrivens for a one-night only showing.

Amazing. All the problems the Oilers had, they just needed Scrivens and now everything is just fine.

Not to be picky but can we please stop listing pronger under the " potential scratches"? We all know he's done. It's just plain out depressing to see every game projected line ups. Thank you

How does a team give up 59 shots, and over 100 attempts? Even after watching the Flyers all year, it's still mind-boggling.

PP on the road is pretty darn good, maybe they win on the special team play

He'll score. Don't worry.

Is there any active future HOF player that does not have ridiculous numbers against the Flyers.

- PhillySportsGuy


Their fourth line has combined 58 pts. (not sure how often these guys are paired)

Flyers combined 21 pts.

Have you seen the Oilers defense try and exit a zone. They make the Flyers look like the Blackhawks

I think they use Selanne as a pinch hitter. They know they can't use him all game, but they bump him up into the top 6 for certain shifts. He gets PP as well.

Lars Eller was right, they do play like a junior team.

They are such a cluster(frank). Their defense is atrocious, their goaltending is below average and their forwards don't help the defense at all.

They're entire top 6 is made up of the same exact types of players. No veteran leadership. The sad thing is if they miss out on Ekblad, they will either have to reach on a defenseman, trade down or trade the pick outright.

apparently it really is OK to have a skill player on the 4th line. Ducks seem to be doing OK this year.

but no, let's force B Schenn or Vinnie out of their natural center position to wing, so our 4th line can have energy guys and enforcers


- Marc D


Agreed, Rosehill and Hall should be in the top 9

I get the feeling Teemu is more likely to be contributing in 5 years than Vinny
- PhillySportsGuy


I don't own jerseys or t-shirts or anything for athletes that don't play for Philly teams, but I'd consider a Teemu jersey.

Old school Winnipeg Jets jersey, of course.

Always been a Teemu fan.

Their 4th line RW is Teemu Selanne and ours is Zac Rinaldo.

Different philosophy, different results.

I'm kind of curious how close the Flyers are to the cap ceiling. I know they've used Pronger's LTIR. I bet they have very little wiggle room.

The Machine gun goal celebration is top 5 in any sport for me.

Even more so than the carefully scripted "hot stick" by Ovechkin?
