Hartnell 3 points +/- 0
Schenn 3 points +/- -2

Coburn had a TERRIBLE series. So bad that i really would trade him. If a team can't complete a pass, is that on the coach or the players alone?
- Flyersgod

Coburn was fine. He was getting tasked with too much down the stretch, mainly because Timonen wasnt Timonen anymore.

When I was watching Dallas this playoffs I wondered what Giroux would be able to do with Jamie Benn...

Coots line was pretty useless.
- Flyersgod

That's why the only goal tonight was scored by them

he looked pretty bad on the phantoms 2 games and a -2
- watsonnostaw

you watched?

I thought Streit was the best dman in this series, and really the best dman all year long. Its going to be an interesting summer
- Just5

Yeah he may have been.

Coburn was terrible this series. And honestly, who pays their top pairing dman 4.5mil a year to not put up points? Or play powerplay?

Coburn had such a rocket of a shot when he first got here. Then he was turned into Derian Hatcher.

That's why the only goal tonight was scored by them

And Read and Cooter on the PK were dominant. 21 straight kills or whatever.

More than Crosby.

Curse you and your facts

We lost tonight though.... so.....

Meh, Richards and St.Louis each had 2G 4A same as Giroux. Nash less than that.

If you don't want Giroux, who do you want? Thornton? Marleau? can't have a Toews on every team. Giroux is closer to Toews than he is to 3/4 of the other captains in the league.

+1

most of the time he and coburn were being pinned down in their zone.
- the deaninator

Yeah, maybe not the best pairing anymore. Although have had their fair share of good moments in the past. I'm not gonna rag on either of them.

All those guys have another top player on their team that takes pressure off the other. Voracek is nice, but you're talking about Thornton/Marleau, Crosby/Malkin, Toews/Kane, Benn/Seguin, etc... Jake would be the weakest link there.

Does Brayden get a pass on this series? 0G, 3A. That's not good enough from your 2nd line center is it?
- rockychocbill

not at all. he should have been better.

i liked this series bc the rangers really uncovered the stink on this team.

Well I will be rooting for the rags over the pens. Just can't get past Crysby, Malikin, Neal, and bat face, oh and flower. Man I hate that team.

Uh dude... B. Schenn

Giroux for trevor daley, valeri nichushkin and 2 firsts

Funny he outplayed Giroux.

Ghost is gonna bring it. I'm very excited about him
- eayost

ghost is a flyer next year on merit book it

Uh dude... B. Schenn
- Flyersgod

Is B Schenn the 2nd best forward not he team?

not at all. he should have been better.

- Just5

I wanted them to win, but i really feared if they won they'd think they deserved it and not change anything. Winning this series would have set us back.

Turns out losing this series exposed way too many flaws then i was ready to deal with.

- Just5

nope, handful games but mainly a phantom

Very we'll put. And very true

Is B Schenn the 2nd best forward not he team?
- eayost

Won't matter. Unless he signs for cheap i think he's as good as gone.

This series couldn't have helped him at all in negotiations.

We lost tonight though.... so.....
- Flyersgod

Did Crosby step up in the last penguins game? No. Malkin did, in fact he scored a hatty, and they still almost blew that game.

Giroux created 3 awesome chances out of nothing, in the third period alone. Sometimes you need secondary scoring to show up. They didn't do a good enough job of getting 2nd chance opportunities, there were rebounds galore all series long.

But you're right, they lost and he's useless and logic and observations are (frank)ing pointless.

I'm starting to worry that because Couturier is constantly matched up against other teams top lines, and the fact he's asked to be the teams top PK forward it's going to stunt his offense.

He had zero points in the series.
- PLindbergh31

He's a 21 year old 40 point scorer who's doing nothing but growing. I wouldn't worry about it.

They went 7 games against the best goalie in the league, with the offense sputtering. There was no "exposing". If they took this series in 7, they would've moved on to their favorable matchup, the Pens.

The only thing an early exit does is inspires Snider to force Homer's hand in FA. Look for the Flyers to target a power forward and overpay. Winning wouldn't have stunted anything with this org...
