based upon play it should be Braun, though Hagg has looked more into his skates than he has to who he was passing too.
- wcorvette


I would say Haag. I think Haag gets more criticism than he deserves but last game he was absolutely brutal with the puck. I don't think he executed a successful pass the entire game.

Well, if you suck that bad in that weak div. Yikes.

Leafs and habs are having fun. I imagine they’re happy not to have to play Tampa and Boston at all and rather take on the oilers Canucks flames

- Hextall271


Zaitsev leads the team in points. Its major yikes.

I still have the habs taking that division. They made some really strong off season moves plus their kids have progressed rapidly. They play good hockey fun to watch tbh.

Idk what you'd even want from ottawa that would be sold.

Prosser in for Friedman. Will play with Hagg, Sanheim with Braun.
- MBFlyerfan

Makes zero sense. Braun and Hägg are borderline nhl players; Prosser is well Prosser.

To me this is about not just Friedman struggling but Prosser being a RH shot.

After a win, it’s a bold move. Av must not have been happy with what he saw Tuesday night.

I think I’m the only person here who doesn’t get or understand this old chemistry of Provorov and Ghost. If this pair was ever ideal, they never would have been split up. To my memory, they were put together late in 2018 and heading into the playoffs but were never a long term pair.
- SuperSchennBros


They played together more than half of 2017-18, and were very good until Ghost had tough series against Pittsburgh and Provorov got injured in Game 5. They both struggled, collectively and individually, out of the gate the next year and they were split up by Hak/Murph after a few weeks.

I suspect that will be the lineup. But it's not official until AV confirms it and he's not speaking until 4:30.

Gotcha. How does the cap work ? Or is he just taking Morin spot essentially instead of carrying a 13th forward active?

- MBFlyerfan



have to trust AV but looking in Braun and Hagg deserve a seat and Friedman deserves a chance to get up to speed with the NHL pace. That said Prosser does add some size.

Gus has been freaking awful. Imo apart from a period of the very first game of the season. Hes been a black hole of bad reads and bad turnovers and lackluster effort.

Friedman has barely any nhl experience and has not shown anything more than a tweener. He had a higher compete level in the first game vs the 2nd.

Hagg and braun have been bad but they have a ton of nhl games and we know what we are getting. In a perfect world they aren't in the lineup but we don't have that ability. Also who would play on the pk if you took them out for friedman Prosser ghost all in the same lineup.

Prosser has been a descent bottom pairing guy in the nhl. Descent size. Descent work in the corners. Willing to block shots. It can't be significantly worse than the other options.

I agree on Gus and for him to be out again tells me AV really wants to send a message. While I agree about Friedman, Hagg and Braun have been that bad where you could and should sit one of them and give Friedman a chance to catch up. Being fair, Friedman hasn't played since last winter and is now playing in the NHL? I get it as I said in a prior post, they go with experience. Gus was bad, Hagg and Braun have been every bit as bad. The difference is it looks like they are trying while it appeared Gus didn't care to try. I also stated with this crazy season all deserve a chance to play better.

Isn’t Friedman as well.

This is interesting. Gus still sitting. Pouliot not on taxi squad. Would’ve thought he got in before prosser

If I remember correctly Braun didn’t have the best start to the season and a rough go during the playoffs. Maybe just getting old. Hope they all turn it around.

There’s no way that Braun enjoys playing these games, he seems to be everything he can to keep up and it’s not exactly enough.

The Flyers and Vigneault are not going to bury and forget Gustafsson. They're going to give him an opportunity to get his game back.

I can think of 3 million reasons why Gus is back in the lineup.
