Thanks Bill, hope you got back to Texas safely and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

Glad to see Weal in and Weise out, but I'd like to see him tweak the lines a bit.

28 Claude Giroux - 14 Sean Couturier - 93 Jakub Voracek
40 Jordan Weal - 19 Nolan Patrick - 17 Wayne Simmonds
12 Michael Raffl - 51 Valtteri Filppula - 11 Travis Konecny
20 Taylor Leier - 21 Scott Laughton - 15 Jori Lehterä

The above is what they are going with. I'm not in love with having 3 RH shots on the same line. I'd like to see them flip Weal and Raffl and TK for Simmer. This would give them a middle 6 of:

Raffl-Patrick-Konecny
Weal-Filppula-Simmonds

I just think that those are better balanced lines than what they are going with. What does everyone else think?

I guess alt is a superior player to Morin now. Bust city.

I would of rather Weise been with the 4th line than lehtera. He skates better and could keep up with the buzzing bees.

Flyers have so much faith in secondary scoring is about to come on strong they've felt the need to shuffle lines every day. Right.

Alt is already here, saves them paperwork

Weise or Lehtera is really a wash to me

Shuffling is due to injury returns

Read waived, Weise scratched...we're just one AHL call-up away from the trifecta!

I'm guessing AMac is back for Friday's game, so they figured it wasn't worth bringing up Morin to play only 2 games. With you on Weise and Lehtera, basically its the old choice of giant douche vs turd sandwich.

So worse home record this season so far but almost same record overall. Did something improve that was needed to be improved?

21; not much of a difference. It's really been a tale of 2 months so far.

Oct: 7-4-1 15 pts, goal dif +8
Nov: 1-4-3 5 pts, goal dif -8

Hopefully they can at least finish November on a winning note. A 3-1-1 run (difficult, but not impossible) would have them finish the month at 4-5-4 and be 11-9-5 overall. 27 points after 25 games should at least leave them with a decent shot of making the playoffs as few teams in the Metro, while all solid, are really running away with it.
