-AMac/Provorov pairing
-Chris Vandevelde and Matt Read
-Schenn at center
-Voracek/Giroux pairing

Waive Vandevelde and Schultz and call up Weal and Leir.

On July 1 if VDV is resigned this website would melt.

I don't think that's gunna happen. Hextal believes in young players learning to win and being around it. He wont pull them up to be part this train wreck. He went out and built the ahl team to be a winner this year. the kids will play within that .

The more youth, the better. At least those guys play like they give a damn. I understand not bringing up Sanheim/Morin right now as they are LHV's top pair, but trade MDZ and Streit for whatever you can get and bring up Hagg. Also waive the teachers pet and bring up Laughton and Leier.

I wonder how many teams have scored 1 total goal in three consecutive home games this year? They were about a tenth of a second from being shutout in 3 straight home games. Just a piss poor, unwatchable, product being put on the ice.

I'd agree with most besides they bolded name. I might drop him to line 4 and move Lyubimov up the roster but Read can do a good job out there.

This team needs a little jolt somehow.

Think maybe something like this and watch out it will make line's 3 and 4 be useless on offense I bet.

This season is done. I just want to see most, if not all of the following, on the team next year:

Stolarz
Sanheim
Morin
Hagg
Laughton
Leier
Lindblom

And I'd like to see Giroux traded and most of the following gone too:

Mason
Streit
Schultz
Del Zotto
Read
Raffl
Weise
Vandevelde

And finally, if you're keeping Hak, clean house on the assistants. He could use some help and these clowns aren't gonna give him any.

Enough is (frank)ing enough

- BiggE


I'd like to see some combination of Stolarz, Morin, Hagg and Leier this year. Laughton should finish the year with the Phantoms.

I would add Neuvirth to the list of not coming back. And if Raffl is the 3LW, I'd be fine with him coming back, he's just not a 1LW.

I think there's an easy fix to their game. Bring back Bro Hymn as the goal song. Why they got rid of it, I'll never know.

Meh, I've had enough of Matt Read, rather see Leier at this point

I'm working with what Hakstol has right now and praying MDZ gets to play soon.

I dont either, but nothing wrong with bringing Weal and Leir up for some games to see what a different line-up looks like. If it doesn't change much, send them back down. They'd be getting reinforcement with VandeVelde coming down and have plenty of depth already. I don't think it drastically affects the Phantoms. They're very good.

If the Flyers continue to lose, send them back down and chalk these season up as a loss. At that point, that's when you consider trading guys like Schultz, MDZ, Streit, and Neuvirth IMO.

Sadly in recent weeks my typical attention for a flyers game has become a secondary activity. I'm never just watching a flyers game itself. It's too boring. Pro tip: try excercising while watching a game; the frustration is very rewarding for a couple extra reps

I hear ya, I just think the Phantoms have more than enough forward depth to allow Hextall to bring up a 3rd year pro like Leier to replace a stiff like Read.

Funny you say that. I usually stationary bike an entire period of the game. With commercials and breaks in play a typical period lasts about 40-45 mins.

I've been watching at bars in Key West while listening to live music. I highly recommend this, however your liver may disagree.

I have to admit I have actually watched some Leaf games during a Flyer telecast
At least there is some (Frank)ing action.
Give us a reason to watch . Bring up some kids, get rid of some poop.
Trade Streit ASAP... Montreal or Edmonton. would be good fits
