yeah, i know. who cares. it was the type of play that could have just as easily not been called on a little scrum after the whistle. and our top pairing looked like clueless turnstyles on the ensuing pk, failing to track and get to any rebounds, let alone block any shots.

he and ghost were the best unit by far. not even close.

Gostisbehere has been good in every game he's played. If we were trying to be careful with development, Gostisbehere realistically should be with the Flyers over Shultz.

Just looking at the stats and I see Jones fought McDonaugh. Who won? Also curious anybody's opinion on who makes the team on the fourth line? Laughton,bellamare,akeson,Jones. Sounds like rinaldo is a lock so 2 decent players are headed to LV I guess

I also would love for Zepp to be the backup over emery. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Jones won, but it wasn;t much of a scrap.

My gut feeling is Akeson and Jones stick to start, if only due to waivers.

. I love the fact he fought McDonough none the less.
I live in Canada so I havnt seen a game yet. So Jones is playing like a regular NHL player I take it? Is he an upgrade on Adam hall in your opinion?

Jones looking like he's got a stranglehold on 4C or 4LW right now.

He doesn't skate with his back completely vertical.

Better offensively, not sure defense-wise. Jones has been really solid, may stick, may not. They could keep Laughton or Leier as well, both have been really effective

Maybe Jones won't miss as many breakaways as hall did. It amazes me how many hall got last year and no matter what I knew he wouldn't score on any of them

How has del zotto looked? Good enough for 3rd pairing at least?

He looked solid in first game, in London. Has looked progressively worse in each game since. Not comfortable with him, Schenn or Schultz as the 7th guy right now

Both Jones and Leier have stood out, and at least are making the decision a hard one.

Well I was hoping for him to be more impressive. I can't wait till this season starts cause im getting sick of the canadian highlights showing 11 seconds of flyers games until my center ice package kicks in. The only thing I am not looking forward to on my centre ice is the fact that all nyr , nyi , nj , and buff games are in low definition. Is it like that in the states?
