No doubt. Can play anywhere in the lineup. Looking like another undrafted free agent gem by the GM.

I love me some Raffl. I hate the Nodl comparisons. I think if Nodl wasnt Austrian there wouldnt be that comparison.

Im sure a lot of people miss Richie as he was the golden child for a lot of Flyers fan.

But teams im sure are glad they made the trade, Kings got a cup and the Flyers got 2 young players who are hopefully a big part of this team going forward.

A great Hockey trade where both teams benefited.

the kings with matt green and regehr and mitchell remind me a little of the flyers d
big bodies, not the greatest skaters

Let's hope the Voracek hit is nothing major and he's good to go next game.

Thanks, good to be back!

Yeah nice to have you back. Interested to hear your take on this team after the post win bliss

Hexy said that just last night in an interview with ASF.


Love the returns. Just hope the guys upstairs remain patient with this lineup.

- I am more and more convinced the untouchable players on this team are Giroux, Voracek and Simmonds. It would take a Number 1 dman in a package for Couts but I would be willing to move him. I think the 3 I listed bring a different dynamic that you need.

- Rinaldo , playing like this, is a great component.

- They minimized the penalties, this was probably the most disciplined I have seen them all year.

- Giroux is racking up the points.

Similar in checking and skating ability. But Raffl's puck skills already seem to be more advanced. As a player really playing his first pro hockey in the NA rink. He shows a lot of promise. I love players like that.

yea but they have muzzin doughty and voynov

Also, on a rather- how should I say this....untalked about- note:

I'm psyched to see Simmer with that A on for good after Kimmo leaves

But they have Doughty and Voynov and Muzzin, who can all be studly.

The flyers have, Kimmo, Streit, Gus, Mez?

I gotta run out in a little bit. I have a lot of thoughts on this team and what I think about them that I'm sure will come up in conversation in the coming days.

With only 13 shots, the #Flyers match a franchise record for fewest shots in a game originally set against Washington in Dec. 1990 #NHL

watch flight plan episode 10 part 1 near the end.
'Giroux yells at himself in the 3rd person using the name G after he messes up in 2 touch soccer.

Going to need him going into San Jose.

Logan Couture is downright a pleasure to watch. That'll be another tough game.

Until you look at the remaining dmen they have so they can afford to have those types.

the two penalties against the flyers I saw were really weird calls
the streit slash was a tap to the gloves, and the hall penalty touching the puck with a glove after the faceoff... very strange

I didn't see the slash near the end

Yea, but when you add in Doughty, Muzzin, and Voynov, it gives them the right mix.

Simmonds

just need a doughty and a voynov, flyers are right there

easy, right?

Couturier should be untouchable. Dude played out of his mind today. He has to be one of the best defensive centers in the league. At 21. If the Flyers trade him, they will regret it.

I agree that I would move Couturier for the right defenseman. Not many of them out there though. But I would put Couturier right up there with Giroux in terms of what it would take to move him.

Simmonds
- moylander

he has been tremendous since like the 3rd week

just brings it every game

Let's hope the Voracek hit is nothing major and he's good to go next game.
- Yosimar89

Yeah and it definitely wasn't a clean hit like one person on here said... It probably wasn't interference, but it was an elbow to the head! Or forearm... Could have been roughing... But it was apenalty!
