The Rangers weren't a very good offensive team all season. They've scored at a pretty decent clip in this series.
- PhillySportsGuy



Yeah, they were one of the worst shooting teams in the league, and the PP was middling all year.

Their offense was on early in the series, but the PP and the shooting has really dried up.

20 goals.. not bad for a fourth line eh?

He also has more points this post season than any Leaf, ya know, because he made the playoffs.

- jak521


Relax he has 2 more points than I have in the Playoffs or any leaf way to go

20 goals for 10 million dollars

2 million a goal is not bad ???? did I miss something ?

even Clarkson wasn't that bad , only 1.5 million a goal

I think the poster has a legitimate point. The Rangers aren't playing like a quality offensive team. If the Flyers had given a lot of the quality chances to other teams that they've given the Rangers. This Series would've long been over. The Rangers have not finished well at all in this series.

And if Mason starts the first 3 games...

If, if, if.

With the chances they've gotten in this series, they should have a lot more. If the Flyers would give the same chances to Boston, it would be a 4 game sweep. Even with Mason standing on his head.
- MJL


Thats true. Thats the Rangers achilles heal though. They have a great goaltender, very strong defense and terrific two-way forwards. They don't have the consistent goal scoring though.

Yeah. I hate VL, but his deal isn't nearly as bad as Clarkson. VL can contribute on the PP with his great shot.
- PhillySportsGuy


Wow, I wouldnt say I hate him... I like Vinny a lot. I would just say he doesnt really have a place on this team. I wont be surprised if he asks to be moved over the summer.

It's $300k per goal for VL, $900k per goal for Clarkson.

Why do we care about his actual salary? The Flyers print money. All they and we care about is the cap hit.

I guess hate is strong. I really don't like him on this team. I don't hate him as a person. I hate when they use him as a top 9 player.

True. But at least were not playing him 7.8 mil a season for 4 more years like the floating turd that is Rick Nash.

I expect Vinny will be gone.

Yup. I like VL and hope he gets it going. If not, and he requests a trade, no hard feelings. Just don't score against us next season.

This is some Eugene Melnyk poop, resorting to dollar per point efficiency.

- TrentKlatt


I know. He just doesn't fit on this team. I'm not saying he won't work somewhere else.

I think the Flyers are going to need to eat some money in order to move him. It they move his entire salary without having to give up picks, I will be thrilled.
