Yea. Tank snark be dammed. the "Suffering" was well worth it.

SO what do the Flyers do. This team is a playoff team.
Seems like a bad stretch.
I assume they try to find a steady 3-4 D-man, much like anyone else.

We'll see if they make the playoffs. They are the bubble team everyone thought they were so overall no surprises. They wont make any moves to bring anyone in for the playoffs if its going to involve trading prospects/picks. They have propects that should unseat some of the dead weight on the team. The question is how soon and they need to come in and be better than them not just cheaper

Simmonds is a really good fighter, just doesn't make sense for him to take himself off the ice for 5 mins as well as risk injury fighting role players.

Flyers haven't had anyone who could fight since Brashear.

Fedork the fridge could go in his first stint. Ronaldo could go but absolutely nothing else. Ryan White could fight, just ask Matt Martin's nose.

He was also terrible at hockey
- PhillySportsGuy


I was far from a Rinaldo fan. But he could skate, take the body, and fight. Wiese hasn't shown anything in any phase of the game. I'd rather have Rinaldo playing 4 mins a game and taking up minimal cap space than Wiese as crazy as it sounds.

There are only 2 players in the red possession wise tonight... The amac pairing, and they're really red.

The more you keep defending him and calling him a "slightly overpaid top-4 defenseman," the more you sound like a fool.

The ability to find and put dead weight on every line to negate them all is truly commendable.

MacDonald has struggled in this game, but he has not been struggling overall. He has been playing.solid hockey. Provorov has also had some really strong games despite the " drag". Tell the complete story. There are 5 players on the ice. A comprehensive and accurate analysis would look at who has been responsible for the goals against.

Give me a break! Your opinions are always out to lunch so I tend to disagree with you.

MJL don't see how you see Ghost as our best player tonight. Whole team has been average but Ghost was caught on his gamely 2 on 1 that Mason bailed him on . He's been better than lately but still don't see see what your seeing. Would like to trade Ghost for Duchene in Coloado, Provy could move to first unit then next year with Streit gone Sanheim could man the second unit. Ghost is gonna want 5 million next year , that's a lot of money for a poweplay specialist that has been terrible in his own end.

You see Gostisbehere as a PP specialist. Enough said. Hes had a strong game tonight.

I forget who Fedoruk got beat up by in his 2nd stint. That was a scary beating.

Want to say Roberts.

I remember when posting a picture of a star on this thread meant a big blockbuster trade was made.

What tools does Weise have?

Guy is a candidate to go off and see the Wizard.

- flyer_nutter


I'm sure Wiese has a hammer, a few screwdrivers, a wrench or two.

The one punch knockouts he suffered at the hands of Orr and Boogaard have me thinking he could have issues later in life.

You apparently didnt comprehend my statement that I thought MacDonald has struggled in tonight's game.

Is it? You'd rather have Wiese and that contract opposed to a guy making 750k who could be scratched/sent to the AHL?

Why did it have to be Read... only two worse possible players to get a breakaway on the team are probably Nick and Radko, and Cooter.

I advocate a dry island rule to be put in place.

No sex after losses.
Solo sex allowed after overtime or shootout loses.

I don't think Weise can really.

He does that and he has no chance to get back in the play. Slow as hell.

The next game looks like a job for Boyd Gordon!
