Definitely look to trade Raffl in off season, preferably for a player who can bring a physical presence.
Raffl for either Reaves from STL or Roussel from Dallas

What.....they're not remotely the same type of player. Roussel is a respectable bottom 6 scorer and pest. Reaves is a horrible player who can't do anything but grit it up. Guy has the ability of a girthier Rinaldo. Definitely what this team is missing.

Raffl is still a better player than either.

Dammit

Down 2 but probably getting a major penalty right now

I will take Weal over Raffl.
Beef up 3rd/4th line. This team is too soft. Our most physical player is the leading goal scorer. Not good

FLyers have really played a solid second so far..

Raffl certainly stinks and is terrible, but he is one of the best boards players on this team and always plays a physical down low game so I'm not sure why getting rid of him is beefing up anything

Meh he's an average 3rd/4th line kind of guy on a cup team.

I'm a Penn State Alum, so I hope this doesn't mean they are getting worked.

Yup. Very exciting as well. Pleasure to watch.

Hak is going to be telling the boys to "slow it down" in the 3rd. Bet my jiblets.

Raffl also gets knocked off the puck better than anyone on this team.
Not saying he sucks, just saying this team needs more players that bring a physical element to compete in the Metro.

Thanks, bud!

RE: Crosby. Well, you might get that. He doesn't skate through the offensive zone as much as he stalks it.

I already spent my playoff money on a place in Cape May in August.

Didn't Pittsburgh already qualify for the playoffs, mathematically?
- johndewar

they have. its pretty much assured theyre playing columbus in the first round. if they dont get a lot of these guys back, they wont get past them.

Raffl isn't skilled enough to be a consistent top 6 guy. I don't mind him in a 3rd line role.

Seems like a smart guy, would explore him on the PK.

How are the Flyers not a playoff team with a performance like this, Liam asks?!

Not to PLind this joint, but we're up 1 goal, that probably should have been called back, against an absolutely decimated Penguins lineup. Seriously, look at dat lineup. And Sheary is gone now too. Liam you cray.

We are picking 12.

all we have to do is lose a few more games and we could crack the top 5

My gf's family is from Ohio and I never knew how much Ohio folks liked beating Pittsburgh.

IOW, I feel like a CBJ - Pitt matchup is a pretty good one for the league. Or, at least it's a matchup the league has wanted for a long time..

Pittsburgh will win in 6, even with injuries.

I simply don't get it. MDZ leads team in ice time and plays well.....scratched for 2 games. Comes back......leads team in ice time again. It's just madness. There is no logic at all to this.

Also, TK at 5 minutes total time played through 2. Lowest on the team.

Anyone that has watched this team for any length of time has to see that they have no business in the playoffs.

Exactly he is not a top 6 player. I would take Roussel over him any day. He does play the PK and brings a physical /poop disturber element to his game. This team needs that type,of player more than a Raffl.
Weal can do the same or better job than Raffl

Thing with guys like Weal.

I am not against smaller players, but they better be able to skate and have some skill.

A small, and slow team is folly.
