Giving these guys way too much time and space.

As Keith Jones is saying on the national telecast, its the SPEED of the Capitals that is taking advantage of the SLOW Flyers!

Apparently Sanheim is out, that is not helpful.

You know, this may be a controversial statement, but I am starting to think that Sanheim might be the best Defenseman on this team, yes better than Provorov.

We all agree on the Flyers speed...except one

I think Sanheim should be groomed the exact same way as Provorov. Log big minutes. All situations.

So let me get this flawed mindset right. You think because you watch or because I watch Kevin Hayes play nightly, I should be in support of him?
- SuperSchennBros

No, I just think the reasons picked might be easy to get past.

I mean, if he’s not performing, a straight up douchebag, or a cancer to the team, then yeah, I’d be right behind you. Screw him.

But so far, I can’t complain. Team likes him. Performs frankly better than I thought he would. *shrugs shoulders* might as well go with it?

Until he stinks. If he can’t perform or *especially* if he’s stupid and/or lazy, then yeah. He can kick rocks

I know, there is always one in the crowd

at least we're only down by 1

I like Hayes and think he was a good signing, but so far this year he has been a shell of himself, he needs to get his feet moving more consistently IMO.

The definition of elite offensive talent - Alex Ovechkin. When is the last time you saw a Flyers forward make a play like that? I'll wait ...
- jd250

Eric lindros. We haven't had a talent like lindros since his glory days here

My God I remember watching him when I was a kid. I'd love to have another player like that before I die but our team floats medium picking range every draft. It's hard to get someone like that without tanking

agreed...anything can happen, but they need to get their feet moving...as best they can

Not sure why you're thinking that. Sanheim isn't playing and is a healthy scratch. Perhaps you should send an email to AV to let him know that the guy he trusts with 25+ minutes a night isn't really as good as Sanheim.

Good point, maybe they should be our top pair D. Ghost should not be on the top pair IMO.

Let's find the guys who built this SLOW flyers team, in a ultrafast league

They are similar age and right now it seems close. However, the far bigger burden is placed on Provy. I think it is great to have them both. Missing Provy would also stink. Fortunately we haven’t had to face that...something to think about.

Yup, that's why I don't mind at all if he becomes the new Penguins GM!

Suck it Laughton haters.

Are you sure he was a healthy scratch? I thought he played his best game of the season against the Bruins the other night. I can't imagine was scratched unless he was banged up.

Now you're thinking, JD.

I don’t know what to say of Patrick. I try giving the guy benefit of the doubt with his injuries and lack of time to really develop. But how much can we keep waiting to see him progress? He shows the odd glimpse of being a very good player, but I don’t see anything special coming from him right now.

I don’t think we’ll ever see another player like Lindros. He could do it all.

- jd250

You could be right so I remain open to being corrected. But I think it may be related to pairings and R vs L side players

Good point, maybe they should be our top pair D. Ghost should not be on the top pair IMO.
- jd250

I don’t think they should be playing together. Shea Weber and Ryan Suther were on Nashville together along time we all knew how good they were. Weber got the push but Sutter wasn’t held back from being great. Sanheim is being held back a bit.

well, as top 2 draft picks go, he and Nico are a little underwhelming

Unreal, Caps defense are wide open at top of the circles.
