Farabee - Cates - Brink
Deslauriers - Laughton - Hathaway

Sanheim - York
Zamula - Walker
Seeler - Belpedio

Looks like Poehling is taking a seat.

I just absolutely can NOT believe Laughton is accepting a demotion to the 4th line. Unthinkable.

Just saw the video of Adam Johnson.

If that wasn't intentional I don't know what is. I've never seen a play like that before.

Poehling has been bland, but damn ND must have something on someone.

It's silly to bench Poehling over Deslauriers. Carolina don't even have a goon for him to fight.

I'm shocked Laughton is accepting a demotion to the 4th line. I wonder if he is going to fight Torts or just skate out with the line he believes he should be with, too many men penalty be damned.

He'll never accept it. Not possible.

I am surprised Torts is sitting someone from the PHD line. Can't wait to see how short the leash is for Frost.

I don't think Laughts is worried about his role or his ice time. He's curently 5h on the forwards at 12:53 ES TOI/GP, and I except he'll be right around that even being listed as the 4C.

I'm trying to figure out how they go from having no room to play Frost to having him center the 2nd line. It's a miracle.

It amazes that people are still surprised about this. The Flyers WILL NEVER, NOT EVER, NOT DRESS A GOON. And they will gladly overpay for the privilege to do this.

While I am at it, a couple more Flyerisms....

Regarding their SC chances, they will always be Jim Carey in dumb and dumber, "so you are saying there is a chance"; thereby preventing a true rebuild

They are blind to the ever-changing game, never adapt and will forever live in 1974.

Do you think he believes he’s a 4 th line player?

Don't know, didn't see the game. My world doesn't revolve around the Eagles. I just backread the comments and saw that he declared the game over at the time I specified which makes him look like a clown. That was my point.

whats your excuse

- Peter Richards

Why does that matter?

Says the clown that had the Birds losing yesterday's game at 2:01 PM yesterday afternoon cause apparently their defense didn't bother to show up! Sounds like you were worried. Then the QB saves your day and you're pumping out your chest that he's the MVP. Typical Eagles head.
- Phillywhiteout

i said many times hurts was the MVP keep wearing those clown shoes buddy

The last time they had a good season, the goon only played 16 games.

has to do with what you said.

And if it does? Oh wait…yikes.

Actually, this time Howell shredded them from the pocket. Very quick reads, passes. Utterly inept coverage by everyone, esp down the middle but also including Slay and Bradberry.

This teams needs Davis and Carter big time
