I trust that the others who attended the game in LV enjoyed their weekend as much as I did.

Same.

Great arena for hockey - great viewing lines all around.
They put on quite a show, too.

I think he needs to be better with his stick for sure, not just on breaking up possession but in passing lanes. He still has work to do with defensive positioning, but same can be said for lots of young defensemen

And some not-so-young defensemen who somehow get to play every single night in 2018 no matter how many mistakes they make.

This game is a little scary.

3rd game in 4 nights. A ton of Travel in between.

Neuvy may need to be the best player on the ice tonight.

Agreed. I think he got a little physically overwhelmed at times by the stronger NHL players. He is a big kid so I don't think that will last.
- MBFlyerfan


he will pick up some weight that will really help. I do agree with the comment, he has to learn to play like Ghost a little on the D side.

He isn't playing mistake free hockey in the AHL, he is just getting offensive chances that outweight the negatives

agreed and I think being in LHV he can work on it, on the other hand you can tell it is much easier for him. At some point he will have to learn how to do it against real NHL players.

You look at Gudas and Manning, they have been all sorts of wrong in their coverage and decision making, it just happens at the NHL level.

He needs a good offseason in the weight room. He doesn't need much, maybe five or ten lbs of muscle.

Not for much longer. By this time next season they will be a memory.

Unfortunately probably the most inconsistent player on the team. When he's on he flashes glimpses of vintage Jagr. When he's lost out there, boy is he lost.

a buyout for Weise is pretty reasonable

I was impressed that the Flyers managed to gut out a win on Sunday night in what looked (to me) to be a sure schedule loss. In theory, tonight could be another tough grind as this is game 4 in like... 6 nights? Hopefully the Flyers have enough left in the tank to win one more.

I think the devils are in the same boat. Not sure about their travel. Coming back from the west is a female dog

This. And they need to keep an eye on Hall. He's a sneaky little bastich.

The team in general looked somewhat slow on Sunday but that line was crazy slow, expecially Lehtera and Filppula. Yikes.

(frank) the Devils. Even with the end of their trapping style they still deserve to be thrown into the pit of misery!

Weise is being shown now, if the Flyers keep winning it should help trade Weise at the deadline.
