Honestly, if Timonen comes back and plays well, and is willing to accept a trade to a contender, he would probably be the Flyers best trade chip.

That's a dispassionate take on it.... if he's able to come back, I'd hope he retires on his own terms in O&B.

Art Ross is coming! Put him with Coots and Read, sit Rinaldo.

Did he get called up?

I was recovering from watching this mess play in person on Thursday night and may have missed something.

Per Facebook this is the wrong move. Rinaldo, Rosehill and Stortini should be on the 4th line.

We will play just poorly enough to finish outside the McEichel Sweepstakes.

I'm fine with Hanafin, Kylington or Crouse. If we finish outside that territory I'll be pissed.

Nothing dispassionate about it, unless you want to ignore the part where I said if he is willing to accept a trade, which means it was his choice to end his career with a contender. It is also not dispassionate to hope that Timonen could possibly achieve one of his career goals as an NHL player of winning the Stanley Cup. I personally would love to see Timonen skate with the Cup, because I think he deserves it. Rather see it with the Flyers but we know that isn't happening. So if you want to label that dispassionate, have at it.

Gotta take advantage here. A loss would be huge.

It would be. I think the timing of the schedule and having Buffalo tonight, might keep the Flyers from going on another tailspin.

More like a 2 bottles of scotch game.

Thankfully I have a gig tonight and won't be forced to watch this mess.

- BiggE


No gig tonight for me, but dinner at a BYOB locally with some good friends, 5 blocks from home.

Have hope, Mason could be out again and again, and Girouxs cut could get infected.

Did anyone else notice Giroux was having trouble staying on his skates the other night-maybe against the Caps??? He seemed to be falling forward a lot in open ice, that speaks volumes

I didn't see any issues with Giroux's skating.

I am really surprised that they haven't benched Rinaldo, and someone else, and brought up at least Jones, and White.

- OrangeAndBlack1


Have you not watched any of the last 15 games where he has been benched and only played last game because Laughton got hurt?

They should just so we could watch Berube tell them to not respond to anyone and then I could combust like your fancy gif above.

Kimmo's lungs have cleared, legs have not; doesn't sound good as far as returning. #Flyers

I'm guessing it's as likely Kimmo returns as the team making the playoffs.
