yeah but quicks been there done that.
- PhillaBully

yeah, i know. i'm just saying jones is good, and capable of winning with that team in front of him. other rookies have won it too. see: roy, patrick, and ward, cam.

did you miss the game yesterday?
you would have been in heaven, a lot of soft goals went by your antichrist
- Marc D

i missed the first 4 goals. need to watch the hi-lites.

how come it works with Hartnell and Simmonds?

3 of the 5 have to be skilled with the puck?
- Marc D

Yeah, it's less important for the guy down low.

I'm right.

I'm right.

it's entirely possible he will, and i'm willing to find out.
- hammarby31

Me too.

The Flyers have invested quite a bit in Brayden Schenn, so I'm hoping it pans out.

His play at the WCs was encouraging from what I've read, however. Hope he can build on that.

We should put Briere on his RW and Vinny on his LW

the only way I would trade B Schenn right now is if St Louis says we need a 2nd line center, we'll send you Shattenkirk in exchange.

short of a deal like that forget it
- Marc D

I agree.

But, I admit, I expect a step forward from BSchenn next year. This year was a step forward but it's hardly what I would call announcing one's presence with authority.

Would Brayden Schenn even be the fastest guy on a line like that?

I was just thinking it's okay to have an abundance of 3rd pairing dmen. As long as they make $750K not $3. 5 million.

He'd have the highest Corsi, Fenwick and MJLness

you are going to get in trouble for that if a mod sees it... last time someone used his name they declared it an insult.

they were a fun team to watch with an interesting mix. steve mason, now, on that team, and they win. i've also said it before, and i'll say it now, leighton was outstanding for them all year...until it mattered most and fell apart, but that was a team loss, it wasn't a leighton loss.
- hammarby31

yeah. you guys were running on borrowed time with leighton though at that point. but yeah, overall the flyers were a balanced and pretty exciting team that year

Not an insult. I truly believe MJL likes Schenn more than Briere and VL.

He scored that OT goal vs. Washington. That was, you know, kinda cool. I guess.
- jmatchett383

And the last minute game winner against Buffalo. As much as he struggled in 2014, his shot didn't go away.

- stayinthefnnet

they were, and that's why i don't get upset and blame leighton. he's an excellent ahl goalie and a serviceable nhl goalie. they wouldn't have even made it that far without his efforts. i'm thankful for what he did. i'm upset with the circumstances. maybe if emery's hip doesn't disintegrate 5 months earlier, and they would have won. it's just aggravating. it's always something.

- PhillySportsGuy

they are the current devils. they play the same way. a few guys with top end skill, but full of a team that just forechecks a team to death, cashes in on a turnover - or from a neutral zone turnover and stretch pass, and then sits on that, clutching and grabbing and blocking every shot to a 2-1 win. it's awful.
- hammarby31

Isn't that the way the flyers are going to want to play? They just weren't that good at it

Berube in that Q&A talked about cutting down on GA on the penalty kill for gripes sake! We had a great kill all year

He didn't mention the teams scoring issues 5 v 5.

that year is still the one that bothers me the most for some reason. (frank)ing halak
