The problem with Weal is that he's got all the fancies in the world that indicate he's playing well, which when watching him you can see. He's getting chances for both him and his teammates but the chances are not being converted.

I think Weal with another gifted offensive player would result in more finished opportunities.

Yup - the vanilla frogurt box looks pretty good at the store, too. Put some chocolate sauce and jimmies on it and it's much better. However, in the end, it's still just low-fat frogurt.

Bottom line - chances need to be converted if he's going to be on the roster.

I felt like the Flyers played a good game for the most part but here is my fear about the road trip and the first game back at home.

Ducks (W)
Kings (W)
Sharks (L)
Yokes (W)
Yokes (W)

Within our next this road and and first home game, we play bad teams outside of San Jose. We should go 4-1. I fear this will save Hakstol’s job. These would be fake victories. Only the kind that would do this team damage down the road by staying the course. Hakstol has been the same guy since he’s been here and his system isn’t working.

Keep in mind, we always struggle against the Yokes for some reason but right now, I could see us getting the job done at a time we probably shouldn’t...

Those yokes recently creamed the lightning 7-1 and have been playing much better. They are also one of the very best defensive teams in the league

Double the P/G as Lehtera and equal PIM, but doesn't do anything

Pulease we all know since Tocchet is an ex Flyer he can't coach a team out of a wet paper bag.

He needs to be better like most of the Flyers need to be better. The stick infractions are easily fixable (or should be). It is frustrating because he is getting chances that could be finished, but I will take that over the coach's alternative

Yeah, once it becomes clear he is no longer the third best center option he will go back to the press box

Agreed. There are a plethora of better options on this team than having 3Couturier out there on the power play. What a joke.
- ajw12

when he goes long stretches of doing nothing on the pp make sure you and the others acknowledge that; though I am sure that is asking too much.

enjoy your lunch

They don't have many options at 3C.
- MJL


They don't, my opinion is just let Weal run with it, at least give it an extended look.

Maybe that will be JVR in a week or two.

Then Laughton can complete his journey from Hextall's bright spot to Hakstol's healthy scratch.

No, we're agreeing with you now that coots should be delegated to the third line center role and never sniff the power play because he is not good at it at all.

So am I, which is why I didn't name Morgan "semi-bust" Frost.
