Oh I agree about tonight. I know Chief had to shift things. I was just speaking in terms of as the season progresses. Should Brayden not start the game on the 1st line. I just think these guys will figure it out eventually.

I dont understand why they are so against splitting Jake and G. I think Simmonds would work on G's RW. Voracek's puck carrying and play making ability could help another line and balance things out a bit.

I thought for sure wearing our lucky shirts would've been the difference tonight.

Are we going to see a repeat of last year?

Sky falling yet?

So ghost and hagg for Saturday?
- JoeRussomanno

sure they can't be worse than our current crop of idiots

I always said that people didn't want to see this team without Coburn

Didn't need to be right on that one and definitely didn't need to see it two games in
- AllInForFlyers

Coburn is not a top 2 ....but he's their best d man....goons be a long year.

I must say the Penn State offensive line looks like the Flyers defense. Saturday night could be a rough one, but I'm hoping for 2-0!

Against Michigan? Michigan is awful. They don't have an offense

I think this is the only way you get Brayden Schenn going at all.

No, that only happens when somebody mentions David Fischer, first-round draft pick

PSU is also coming off a bye.

How did Morin get 10 minutes?

The D was the Achilles heel last year....and their best d man might as well be retired....no upgrades or changes that could make them better....they are what they are a below average, over paid group that didn't get better because of the summer vacation.
A very mediocre team last year, that really needs the young guys to take a step forward....not sure I see any improvement, but it is only two games....and at least we have a GM now that realizes that they must be patient and hold onto young assets.

I thought Del Zotto added an element on offense. He had some nice shots on net like Streit, but he really needs a better pairing to be effective. I'm sure Schenn feels the same way.

Nope! It's still ore-season, and as always they are healthy as an ox.

Delzotto has some good shifts then some real bad ones....they need him to play a bunch of minutes this year...that could be scary....

Michigan has a very solid front 7 on defense. Before Rutgers they were a top 10 defense and #1 against the run. Their O stinks though and their stud RB is out. Might need special teams or D to score. A possible student kickoff strike could help PSU at the start, but BIG night games on the road are tough.

Coburn was mistake free

Ive never liked Schenn at LW. They try this every year then move him back to center and saddle him with linemates who don't compliment him.

It's infuriating how Couts and Schenn have never been put in a position to succeed. Couts is used against the toughest competition and given the toughest zone starts. Schenn is thrown from line to line and from position to position finally settling in with the other misfit toys.
