I like Raffl too but really signing him for that long is a stretch, unless of course he wants to sign for minimum wage.
- flyerdude17


It's a gamble. If you can get him to sign a 4-5 year deal for like 2 million a year I think in a year or 2 he is a 4-5 million a year type of player.

Cautious optimism. Enjoy the win but don't expect the cup just yet.

I think raffl is about due for a huge game. He keeps impressing. If I'm flyers I try and get him signed to a 4-5 year deal before he really breaks out. This kid has home run written all over him. Playing as well as he does as a first year player.

- SchennBros

That's another thing that annoys me. Does being optimistic and/or thinking this team is above average mean I/anyone else expects a cup?

Yeah no.

They were great today. So who's going to come out of the woodwork now?

This is a good team. Period. Anyone who doesn't believe that is a cockroach.

Cock-roach hey

Wondering if anyone could give a quick re-cap of the game, how they played, before Bill does tomorrow. Went out snowmobiling.

Obviously missed the game, but nice to see Mason get a shutout. Having him bounce back, and hopefully go on a bit of a hot streak would be very helpful.

Sad I wasnt there to predict it in the 2nd.

Morin not in the lineup today serving another suspension (1 game) asked around it is believe it was for a knee on knee hit (on Grigorenko last night)

It does however mean that if someone dares to point out an area they could improve, we want to tar Snider, and send Giroux off to Ukraine on Air Malaysia.

Interesting how that works.

I thought Biron had a shutout in pitt in game 5 of the 2009 first round series. Maybe they meant in the reg season.

The Flyers beat the Pens 2-0 in the season finale of the 2007-08 regular season. However, Sidney Crosby did not dress

Good win today by the boys, but lets be honest the Pens are decimated. Really need to bring home 4 pts keep up the pressure tommorow.

You have been consistently optimistic but today you jumped from "good" team to "great" team.

I'm just saying this team is decent. A playoff team that might be capable of making some upsets given the right conditions. But they are far from a great team.

That was a good 60 minutes effort. Always great when the Flyers beat the Pens, but even better when it's a shut out. Round 2 tomorrow, more of the same.

He's been fine since Mac became his partner.

He was fine with Gus, too. Mac is a better player than Gus, though.

L. Schenn had a great game, the pass to Vinny was perfect. He has been much better since MacDonald come over. Read and Couts have been awesome. Couts in particular has been really good this season and just seems to be getting better.

You should reread my post. I did not jump from calling them good to great.

I said they were great TODAY. Immediately after that, I said they were a good team, speaking of the big picture at that point
