Gotta to disagree with you here. White was one of the few guys that actually seemed to give a damn on Saturday while Vinny looked like a completely shot player during most of last season and in the preseason.

Vinny has no chance of keeping up in a fast skating game like the one last night.

Ewww that is a tough one as Provorov could be as good maybe in a different way.
- Daceroni


Provorov is 2015 pick...this was at the 2014 draft where we took Sanheim 17th

I heard on the Fan 590 that it was his dream to post on a message board with intelligent conversations so he went elsewhere.

All kidding aside, I'm not sure Vinny would even be an average skater at the AHL level at this point. It really is sad.

The one I heard was Simmonds, 2014 1st, 2015 1st. Hextall wanted the 2015 lottery protected and Florida said no. So it would have been Simmonds, Sanheim, and Provorv.

I'm gonna give my very unpopular views of last night's line up changes. Many may not like it but I'm gonna say it anyway ans I'm gonna 100% stand by it.

After being blown out 7 to 1 and the changes made, I think Vinny should have played last night in the place of White. I like Ryan White a lot but when I see the Schenn switch for Gudas and Manning spot seems safe, I have to wonder how much of a freah start players are getting. Luke Schenn has been fine for example, while others have been a little worse. Last night is a case and point where Gagner and Gudas can bounce back from the preseason. I'm not saying Vinny will do the same but if Vinny gets a game in after a massive blow out, nobody can say he didn't give Vinny a chance, including Vinny himself.

- SuperSchennBros


I just don't know that Vinny can keep up anymore. I like our 4th line for the most part right now. They can skate and have energy. I think Vinny is a step back at this point. I get what you are saying about giving that fresh start/second chance, but I'm not going to be upset if he rides out the year in the press box.

We had a similar conversation the other week on tanner's board... you're acting like a (frank)ing Richard again dude. What's the point of stirring poop up the way you do? Do you get that much of a kick out of it? If so that's remarkably sad.

Not sure Doughty has quite reached HOF level yet.
- jmatchett383

2 Stanely Cups and 2 golds medals before he turned 25. If he played on the east coast he would have a Norris by now.

Anybody that poops on the legacy that Ed Snider has created in this city is an idiot.

And old timers can spare me their Jerry Wolman stories. I know that bit.

Ed Snider is the best sports owner this town has ever seen, both on and off the field of play. And it's really not even close.

That makes him 1 gold medal ahead of Mike Richards in the awards department. Just because you're part of winning teams (see: Randy Gregg) doesn't make you a HOFer. But he's definitely a top-10 (if not top-5) defenseman right now.

I would like to see them get off to faster starts. Their slow starts the last few years have coincided with the teams slow starts. And it put them in a hole it was hard to get out of.
- MBFlyerfan


They were on fire to start last year, though, weren't they? It was everyone else who couldn't score -- remember that ridiculous streak where they either scored or got the primary assist on, what, 20-something straight goals?

If I was the coach I would have sat Manning in place of Gudas, not Schenn.
- MBFlyerfan


I didn't watch all 60 minutes Saturday, but when I was watching and from Thursday, I would agree with what you are saying. It's a crazy world where I am defending Schenns, but I think he might've gotten the short end of the stick last night
