Can't be afraid to play. I will say I would love to see the Flyers have a big bruiser who can play. Don't want a goon who is a 4th line body like "in the old days". Someone like, dare I say it, Wilson in Washington

Forget who said it, but someone mentioned Reaves from STL. He's one guy I wouldnt want to drop the gloves with.

Being afraid to play verse resting 2 guys who nursed injuries bulk of year and your stud rookie whose led your team in ice time makes sense. Reward some your guys with nhl games who were good soldiers all year. See what you have in vecchione play him 1c. Let Brennan get a home game Saturday for his family (he's from moorestown).

Thought they recalled brodziak or whatever his name is. Might of been guilty of reading fake news.

The Devils didn't recall anyone after Quenneville was sent down

the Phantoms play Saturday so I wouldn't call up Brennan to play Saturday. they are still in a fight to make playoffs. I have no issue calling up guys as long as it doesn't conflict with the phantoms games. Wouldn't have minded Morin up for tonight cause the Phantoms are off til tomorrow. and yes, I want Vecchione in for the last 3 games.

What would be more tragic phantoms missing the playoffs or provorov going down with a serious injury after being a workhorse an undoubted top defenseman ? Again idc who. You can play LaMarche. Bring up friedman. Doesn't matter. Like I said I'd put luby in and play vecchione 1c. Let g start his off season.

Would like to see him and Morin in the lineup tonight. Three reasons to bring up and play Morin:

1. Even if he's feeling better, why take a risk with Gudas. Just shut him down for the season and play it safe.

2. I've had enough of Nick Schultz

3. Game could get nasty, might as well have your scariest player in the lineup

My lineup would be:

Tk-G-Jake
Weise-Coots-Schenn
Weal-Fip-Simmonds
PEB-Vecchione-CMac

Provy-AMac
Morin-Ghost
MDZ-Manning

Mason
Stolarz

Nick Schultz has been consummate professional and team player since he has been here. With the Flyers eliminated from the playoffs, he deserves to play the remaining games if Gudas can't go. If you're calling up Morin because you think the game might get nasty, you're calling him up for the completely wrong reasons.

I would sit g provorov and gost. The Devils have a score to settle and we have no reason to risk injury to any of them for no shot at the playoffs. Let schultz vecchione luby Morin Brennan whomever play. Let Brennan play for being a good soldier. Call up alt. Don't care. Do not risk provorov.

WRONG!

the prudent thing to do is to utilize this time to find out what you have within your organization.

You don't waste the last few games on players who arent apart of the future.

You keep doing what you do, its cute.

Seriously you can't be afraid to play a player. so if the Flyers are in a physical playoff series you are sitting Provorov so he doesn't get hurt? I don't get the mindset of being afraid to play. I'm sure Provorov would be excited to be told he can't play out of fear of being beaten up

A veteran dman on his way out doesn't "deserve" to play in games after the team has been eliminated from playoff contention when they can be used to get experience for prospects.

Now that excites me to watch! Schultz has been a good pro and good soldier but I much rather see Morin in than Schultz at this point

It's not a playoff series. It's 3 meaningless exhibition games after he's played more minutes and games in a season than he ever has. Your too hung up on the risk of injury as being one of my factors as also seeing what we have elsewhere and giving young guys shots in top 4 and top 6 roles. Like saying let vecchione run 1c for g.

And furthermore, you absolutely call up your 6'7, 227 monster if you think the game is going to get ugly. I guarantee you, Morin will be more than happy to drop em if anyone takes a run at any Flyer. He's been doing it all year in LHV.

I mean c'mon, get real. Like having to fill the role of enforcer is for ONE GAME is going to set back his development. Yeah...right....
