For the most part Brian Elliott played very well during the losing streak.
- MJL


He did. And I don't want to get into a long winded convo about Elliott during this nice little stretch of 3 games, I don't want to look like I am looking for negatives, there will be plenty more opportunities for that as the season plays out.

My only argument is he was unable to steal a win when his team needed him too.

But, yes, he is playing well, minus the rebound control.

I don't think that's the case in my opinion. Look at Elliott's past. He's started more than 50 games once in his career and that was 7 years ago.

Sorry, that was meant to be a funny. I should have worked the in there.

I agree with Bill that Sanheim should be used on PP2. It could go the rest of the season without generating another goal at this rate.

I know Lyon will only be a up for a short time but getting to talk and practice with Elliot has to be a plus.
- XthepumperX


It's also a plus to get 10 times your usual rate of pay, even if it's just for a few days.

Trade Jake. He's holding them back with his awful contract and laziness and bad shot and awful defense. Scoring isn't everything. 3 points and was still +0.

Same with Ghost who is a liability.

And trade Raffl, who's just an average 4th liner.

And when Gudas comes back, well, trade him too!

Giroux is not elite. Couturier is a shutdown 3C. Eugene is a little female dog who needs to stop cozying up to Negan.

Did I cover everything?

Fire Hexy and Hak?

Still not sold on Hak as the head coach I want to see at the helm of this team next year, but I give him full props for getting this team focused and leading them to a western Canada sweep.

I'm also very impressed with the play of and the leadership shown by Brian Elliott on this trip. He was a rock.

- BiggE


Agreed with everything here.

Your right.

My bad.

Well I am not one of those guys who wants to see this team end up in the bottom of the league for a high pick.

I'll hold out hope they make a run.

As do I! They will get a high pick anyway when Hexy packages our two firsts to move up.

I think Brennan and Lyon will play for the Phantoms on Saturday. Brennan will stay down with the Gudas suspension ending, but Lyon will come back up if Neuvirth won't be ready to back up Elliott on Tuesday.

Debrincat has 20 points already.

That's more points than Laberge has in the Q.

Agreed.

It is amazing when your goalie plays well how the rest of the team looks so much more competent.

This was exactly the point I was making during the losing streak, good goalies help stop a losing streak or snap a funk the team finds itself mired in.

So he's been good recently, but is he good-good?

Laberge is damaged goods as a prospect at this point.

The next two picks for the Flyers that year however..
