Flyers are on the wrong end of a lot of these kind of hits the last while.

Maybe that's prob #1. Insanity - I know.

You've got the solution to stop the hits?

Really a solid summary of everything!

I have to agree with your line about Manning..THe dude is a 6/7 dman and does exactly what you need a player like that to do..If he was getting 1-4 type mins we would be in trouble but he is not so I have 0 problem with him in that role.

The Steve Mason thing sucks. He does start out slow sometimes, and Winnipeg by no means plays a game that caters to its goalies but damn... Have to wonder what the future will hold for Mase.

Its funny with goaltending. There seemed to be an abudance of quality goalies not that long ago, but right now they seem to be harder to find.

Sir, while scanning the other day I found a comment that disturbed me. "I am not done with you yet" - was directed at I forget/and don't really care who.

I truly hope you are not that way at home.

I get the impression that Mason lets too many things get into his head. That's usually a fatal flaw for a goalie.

That's fair. To me, the key thing was it was late and could have been avoided. Schenn is looking right at him, he knows it's late and he doesn't give a damn.

To SSB: you are so full of it that it's comical. I and others on this site have ripped Gudas multiple times for late, reckless hits. We did the same in years past to guys like Rinaldo, Downey and Boulerice. Wrong is wrong. Perhaps if the perpetrator wasn't one of your beloved Schenn brothers you'd see it differently.

You're such child, it's comical. If you have something to say, address me directly.

I'm not on here from dusk till dawn, so I don't know the thoughts and opinions of every individual who uses this site. Maybe there are some who rip Gudas for bad hits, but this isn't everyone.

Like I said, Gudas charged a guy a week ago in Ottawa. Provide me a link to this rage against Gudas a week ago or shut up.

I just feel for the guy. I could be wrong, but ever since that personal issue with his wife/family he seems to have collapsed a bit.

Hope he can find his game again somewhere.

Is that what he did by starting that second paragraph out with SSB?

For me..Like I said earlier..I thought the hit was late and from the blindside but that was it..I didnt think it warranted a major or a suspension but I thought it warranted a 2 min penalty for interference which is exactly what was called.

I don't think it was vicious. The reason why Couturier went down so hard was because it came from the blindside. I think Couturier himself said he had the wind knocked out of him. No headshot was involved and as you said Schenn didn't leave his feet. He glided into him. I thought it was reckless and a bad hit. I think we are kinda saying the same thing kinda sorta

I don't wear orange color glasses when the Flyers throw a bad hit, etc.

- nastyflyergirl


Yeah, we can agree to this. I think it's possible Schenn couldn't see through Coots and didn't realize the puck was gone.

It's a fast game. In recent games this season, I think we've seen worse. We can't get upset every time a player gets hit, goes down and doesn't pop right up.

Coots is fine and I'm as happy as anyone that he is good to go.

Noticed this as well and grew concerned, did not voice it. Glad I'm not alone.

Pretty obvious that there was something major that happened that threw him way off. I agree.

Folks will cry, and I dont really give a (frank) but it was dumb to not try and work things out with Reese too. The guy basically gave Mase his career back after Columbus.

Lol no. The onus is in YOU to do silly poop like that when you come in here acting the way you do. No one owes you anything or an explanation because your terrible opinions are in the minority and it isn't even close.

May be late, but Vecchione was named AHL rookie of the month for October.

Lehtera should be nervous.

Vecchs isn't even that fast, but he's Pavel Bure when compared to Lehtera
