They weren't doing much, but yeah, that turnover by Schenn definitely wasn't helpful to the cause

Not trying to kill the guy. It was just a bad one

- AllInForFlyers


Let's face it, at this point he's never going to get any better. He is what he is. Third pairing defenseman at best.

Voracek and Giroux with non-competitive pee-wee poop in that shootout against a (frank)ing schlub like Halak.

Entire game turned on that inept horsepoop by L. Schenn. When Coburn and Timonen are back, Schenn and Macdonald can play candy land in the Shelley suite with Rinaldope

i would like to try and package Luke and another player for something before he becomes a healthy scratch

Agreed. We've all watched enough hockey to know that this is true

Luke Schenn had been playing solidly, tonight was awful for him.

They were actually getting outplayed the whole game and long before that turnover

Agreed. But that turnover turned the game around. Who's to say if it doesn't happen Mase doesn't post a shutout?

Him, and, what...six other guys, maybe?

I don't normally criticize Giroux and Voracek because I do understand what they're facing, but you can't not generate offense after four days off.

Yeah, it's easy for me to say. But they got goals from the defense and the fourth line tonight. They really needed L1 to pop one -- Baby Schenn needed to bury his, too

Welp, Steve Mason now has a .925 save % and a 2.30 GAA. Tied for 5th best in Save % and 8th in GAA.

Don't see anyone wanting Happy Meal's 30 M deal.
Can you blame them
Getting rid of Luke would be nice just to free up some cap space to sign a UFA

Sit F in Read when Raffl is healthy... We traded JVR for Schenn... Might go down as the worst trade in any sports history... Finally, have a goalie, and we have no defense...

It was a lot of guys. The only somewhat effective line was the VinnyVelde line. The defense was a (frank)ing mess. Not to shift blame from Giroux and Voracek, but a lot of the time it seemed that they had MacDonald, Grossmann or Schenn out on D with them, and all three of those guys had bad nights.

I wasn't sure Tyler Seguin was going to do it again because I wondered if he was one of those guys who was gonna do one good year, then be that a-hole again, but yeah, that dude is a beast

Watching Lightning-Stars now and that (frank)ing guy is about as dangerous a player as I have seen this year

Agreed -- the defense was just (frank)ed tonight, just like the other two times they played NY

poop, that ain't even the worst trade in Philly history. The Phils have made 3 or 4 trades with the Cubs worse than JvR for Schenn:

1. Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg for Ivan DeJesus

2. Fergie Jenkins, Adolfo Phillipa & John Herrenstein for Larry Jackson and Bob Buhl

3. Porfi Altimirano, Bob Derneir and Gary Matthews for Bill Campbell & Mike Diaz.

And G and Jake are where amongst point leaders?

Then look where they are in the standings.

This roster blows save for like 8 guys.
