Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 1/30/14 @ Anaheim

First.

Go Flyers.

Wow, Selanne on the 4th line? Surprising.

He'll score. Don't worry.

Is there any active future HOF player that does not have ridiculous numbers against the Flyers.

it'd be interesting to see raffl-schenn-simmonds at some point

really hope Vinny can get it together

Think it's 4th-line in name only.

Wish Berube had the stones to put a forward lineup like that together.

that would be a good group.

edit: thought Vinny looked quicker and more effective last game than he has in a long time.

Absolutely. Strong against the boards and made good decisions with the puck. I think he's due for a streak.

Well...see, now you're discounting the value of "energy."

Sbisa 10 games. 1 point. -6 on a very good even strength team…Interesting

apparently it really is OK to have a skill player on the 4th line. Ducks seem to be doing OK this year.

but no, let's force B Schenn or Vinnie out of their natural center position to wing, so our 4th line can have energy guys and enforcers

They're just saving face for the Pronger trade?

If the Ducks had a 3rd string goalie, I believe they would play him tonight.

You could say the same about our 4th line RW

If they pick up a winger somehow to play with G and Jake in the off season, I would love to see Raffl and Laughton together with another skill/speed guy as a "4th" line.

- steelydan

That trade could have worked out better for both sides. Its a shame they got nothing from Lupul.

Teemu is also 43 years old and at a completely different stage of his career than, say, 33 YO Vinny Lecavalier.

that would be a good group.

had to miss last game, good to hear tho

Lol, Rinaldo can stay in

Just swap Vinny and Raffl and I'm happy.

- johndewar

I get the feeling Teemu is more likely to be contributing in 5 years than Vinny
