Hayes looked really good last night. Granted, it wasn't against a full NHL roster, but if he can play like that regularly, I'll be very happy.

i didn't talk about welinski. he will challenge as well. Looked fast and physical last night. moved the puck well.

Also had a few instances of indecision/hesitation in his own zone when things were moving quickly. Nothing earth shattering, though, and experience will get him through that.

Come on, any and I mean any east coast team that complains about scheduling needs to just pipe down.
- dozerD10

West coast teams actually have the biggest discrepancy in games against rested teams vs against tired teams because, in a beneficial way

This analysis found that travel does not impact the teams performance nearly as much as being rested/tired and if the opponent is rested/tired

Also pretty sure the flyers have the most back to backs of any team this year. So maybe you should pipe down

He played well, but I hope he gets penalized for his stupid raised visor and is forced to start wearing it properly. We really don't want another Pronger situation.

Pulling for Stewart. Yes Rubtsov was fine I agree should have clarified stood out.

Bill who has a higher ceiling based on what the flyers brass or others think: myers or Zamula?

pulling for stewart to make the team, but have gone on rants about how raffl stinks and he's a dime a dozen player, blah blah blah. amazing.

How in the world is a guy who that was playing pro in England last year making our team a good sign? I'm baffled.

So you have no response. Sounds good

Because raffl is a superior player to stewart and you have a boner for Stewart and bash on raffl any opportunity you get

What diff does it make where he played? If he is Bette than the other options he will make it. If he ain’t then he won’t. Really irrelevant either way. I want him to make it just to piss people off

Agin doesn’t change anything about raffle being a dime a dozen player does it? Stewart or any player is irrelevant when it comes to talking about what raffle is

- daryl stanley

correct. but rooting for a player to make the team who isn't nearly as good as raffl is, is my point. if raffl is dime a dozen, then what is stewart?

what does it say about our prospects if he beats them out?

and that line about you wanting him to make it to piss people off I'm not buying. you were dead seriously suggesting to trade for reaves not too long ago. you love a certain type of player.

Reeves is clearly head and shoulders Bette than Stewart. Terrible comparison

Depends on how one looks at it I suppose

he is better. but they play a similar game. neither one is better than raffl though.

how philosophical.

- daryl stanley

on a good team he's a 4th liner. i'm not saying he's the end all be all. but the players you would put on this team over him is kind of baffling.

- Ftown19125

He is much better. Not even close at this stage That’s your opinion.

A guy who wasn't particularly good in the English hockey league last year.
