Talbot plays in their top 6? I didn't know that.

Sounds like Colorado has returned to what I thought they'd be heading into the season which was a 85-90 pt club. Even with their fast start, they'll need to do better than .500 from here on out to make the playoffs in the West.

I think its critical that the Flyers forwards play well defensively tonight to help counteract the Avs speed. Winning the special teams battle would help too.
Finally, I think the Avs D corps is their weak link. Establishing a hard forecheck should lead to both scoring chances and powerplays.

Go Flyers!!

They should give VdV a game over Rinaldo. It's not good to be -12 when you only play 7 minutes a game

I've been a Rinaldo fan, but I'm inclined to agree at this point.

Any more news about Read? An upper body injury was mentioned, but I was curious if anyone knew what it was; a loose nipple? Better not be a golfing incident

I, too, agree with this sentiment. The 4th line overall has been brutal for a while. They get hemmed in their own zone a lot. At this point, I just hope our 4th line is able to make it off the ice without allowing a goal. Wish Laughton was in the AHL and could be called up!

What's the talk out of Colorado? Did Talbot help their pk and defensive play? Do they wish they could take the trade back? Are they happy with the trade?

I'm not up for moving Raffl just yet, but eventually a 4th line of Raffl-VandeVelde-Hall could be really solid defensively and even score a goal or two.

Hopefully it doesnt go off the rails in march as the playoff race heats up.

I thought Lappy's work with Rinaldo was supposed to have sparked him, but as soon as they put that out on the air, Rinaldo regressed a bit. Go figure.

That would be a very good 4th line, vandevelde and raffl can't skate very well and are both sound defensively along with hall who is sound defensely. Downie needs to be up in the line up but raffl looks great on the first line. Berube has some tough decisions to make.

So even after all the complaining about Yandle, USAs defense is much better than last time.

4 years ago

Rafalsk - Suter
E. Johnson - J. Johnson
Orpik - T. Gleason

This Year

Suter - Carlson
McDonaugh - Shattenkirk
Orpik - Martin
Faulk - Fowler

Orpik's knees are 4 years older and he is gonna be a turnstile on that big ice. I'd have taken Yandle over him.

I would be ok with a 4th line overhaul. Call up holmstorm and Valveeta. I too like Rinaldo, but maybe he just needs some time off.
