I agree on Konency. It seems to me that he is taking the next step and I think he could have a big second half.

I don't understand the Filppula criticism. He is one of those kind of players that if he would get injured and miss significant time, those criticizing him would find out how much this team would miss him. Just makes a lot of little plays out there in both ends of the ice.

I'm just going by what I see during the games. I have no idea if my opinion is backed by numbers or not. I just feel like Flip loses more puck battles than he wins.

I could totally be wrong.

I ran into him at Pancheros in Voorhees once. Head to toe in a baby blue velvet track suit.

Kid needs some help.

Solid veteran player who is really a 3C at this point being asked to play a bigger role as a 2C. Flyers would be in trouble right now without him.

I feel like this validates my observation.

And FWIW, I'm not saying you're wrong, re: "Flyers would be in trouble right now without him."

I just feel like he's miscast and it's showing. Almost like AMac.
