Wait they didn't trade NoPa yet?
- Glak18

Busts have no trade value, duh.

I hope they can get 2 points this afternoon. With Couturier out I'm not banking on it. Gut feeling they are going to get smashed tomorrow afternoon in the Peg.

Watch them get smashed today and then beat Winnipeg. Nope, that’s last year’s team.

They are going to lose both.

I hope I’m wrong, I hate being so negative.

Varone is odd call up choice, not very strong at center in the NHL. Maybe Giroux plays center until Coots comes back
- Glak18

I mean as far as going on the trip with an extra player. I would think Weal will play if Coots is out. but who knows.

Any ideas on what the Coots injury is?
Im assuming something that happened at practice or something that has been lingering maybe>?

If they do well in these next two games with Couts out it will be because Giroux carries them on his back and they get semi-decent goaltending.

So, does this weekend force a 'panic trade'?

Not sure but they've needed another center for a while now so if they do make a move hopefully that would be it.

Most games coached in Flyers history; Fred Shero, Mike Keenan, and DAVE HAKSTOL...

Weal in for Coots. Does Patty or Laughton move into 1C? Or does Weal just slot in there?

WTF...

if they do, my guess would be Sanheim

I hear you bud. Actually they are equally as bad at home. I can see this being a brutal weekend. Hard to feel confident with this team. Buffalo and Winnipeg are just playing well this year.

So apparently zito and Nonis were video interviewed. So glad they ran an exhaustive, thorough, unbiased search to find the right guy

So I guess Hextall LOVED Wayne Simmonds. Ek says the opposite.

I work remotley from NJ for a company in California with every meeting I'm in being a video conference. The first true interview I did at Blizzard was over a video conference.

Doing things remotely, in the modern world, does not mean you cant be exhaustive.

Coots out .... shocker

This is going to be FUGLY

We do it all the time. Huge HD tv's, cameras that follow the speaker. Almost no difference from actually being there. I would imagine the Flyers stuff is much more high end than mine.

FWIW, I’d try

G-Coots-TK
JVR-Patrick-Jake
Lindblom-Varone-Simmonds
Raffl-Laughton-Weise

I doubt Varone can be any kind of real solution but perhaps adrenaline can carry him to a couple of good games.

I would definitely give the JvR-Patrick-Voracek line another look outside of pre season.

Most likely no moves will happen for another week or two until evaluation is done

Why is it a sarcastic shocker?

- SuperSchennBros

yeah its almost as if the JVR, Patrick, Simmonds line would rely on a lot of point shots from the defense for tip ins and rebounds....


By the way I agree with you that they need a playmaker on that line.

Should get the dyke going. Or at the very least, noticable.

Phantoms on WFMZ tonight.

Digging for a positive for today

I'd rather see Varone than Weal, tbh. We already know what Weal is, and he isn't an answer
