Only if he plays in 10 or more playoff games.

If he plays 10 games we should be in the Conference Finals.

I'm ready to rejoice, so long as Akeson isn't the guy who comes out for him.

I read somewhere that he won't play in Game 4, which I think is good...let the guys that got you here try and play their way out of it (plus, he may not even be here in time). They can beat the Rangers, dammit.

If they get down in the series 3-1, do they give Vinny a break and see what the kid can do? Perhaps.

I think the reason would be that he won't even get in 1 practice before game 4 more than anything else.

Scott Laughton, considered the Flyers top forward prospect, will join the team in the next day or so after finishing his season in the OHL Wednesday.

This is what I know of his itinerary.

If they plop him in the lineup for Rinaldo, fine. We know the kid's not afraid to mix it up, as long as he keeps his stick down.

Non-stop flight is like 1.5 hours from Toronto.

(plus a few hours to drive from North Bay to GTA)

He's here right now I'm sure. He might have even practiced today? I would expect he draws in game 5. We'll see

I haven't been on here, but what I gather is that Laughton has "joined the team."

What does this mean exactly? Has he "joined the team" like the other Black Aces, or is he in the lineup? If it's the latter, do we have any solid information to go on?

Zac Rinaldo made his NHL debut in the playoffs, so why not Laughton?
- johndewar


Because Laughton has already made his NHL debut.
