Even Dustin Penner was busting his ass that game, it was a very weird night.

The Canucks lolled the fans to sleep in the first period, I've never seen a building so quiet. Maybe it was the weed they smoked before the game, though.

friend of mine is in Vancouver once a month for work, he says some of the fans are getting as bad as Leafs fans out there.

There is one remaining player from both teams the last time the Isles beat the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center: Braydon Coburn.

Figuratively or Literally, or in any sense. I don't agree with you.
- MJL


Dont care if ou agree. My opinion is I would rather have Schenn play with Giroux in a few years, then having him center 3rd line level wingers. And before you say anything, same goes for Couturier, cause one of them is going to have to play with 3rd line players if you keep both at center...

Exactly what I said, but I added that if that was the case then we might not be talking about making a trade for a young star defenseman right now...

Why... is Doug Hamilton the same as Shea Weber?

That seems strange, Coburn as the longest tenured Flyer

It doesn't seem that long ago they got him from Atlanta

Every Center can play 18+ minutes a night as well as PP time. Hard to come to that opinion when you don't even know who those "3rd line level" Wingers are. Look at the depth at Wing for the Flyers right now. No Center is short changed with talent on his Wing, on the top 3 lines.

2 key words. I'm not saying move them right now, I'm saying next year. In 2 seasons is JVR still with the team? Do they resign Hartnell and Briere? If they dont... then what? I would still rather have Schenn or Couter playing 1st line wing then 3rd line center.

Obviously when I said that we don't even know who the Wingers are going to be, that I realize it's in the future. And you further my point by asking is JVR still with the team etc. I want the team to get stronger defensively. There is more then the offensive side of the puck to consider. And moving Briere to Wing, helps with that. As I feel that all 3 of Schenn, Giroux, and especially Couturier, are better defensively. More to the game then just goals.

Did we come to a consensus everyone can live with regarding hypothetical Shea Weber trade proposals? I was gone for a bit.

Reports out of MTL that Subban is available. Can't see MTL and PHI being trading partners due to playoff history but we have what they need- scoring.
