Keys to the Game:

- Relax. Forget about everything and just get back to playing some hockey.
- They are better, play with a chip on your shoulder.
- Win the grease battle.

Couts/Patrick/Weal/Laughton domination

actually with Giroux taking his share, this year’s team is doing well on face offs

- Marc D


And I think we learned from this season that winning FO's is super overrated.

Looking at the Columbus roster, they really made a good deal picking up Seth Jones as their number 1D man and then drafting Dubois to replace Ryan Jo in 2016 as their #1 center.

The Panarin trade and letting Jack Johnson walk were both wins. I like how they are managed.

Can’t stand the coach though.

No, it's not overrated. It's just one part of the game. This season does not show that.

What we really need is the fans getting a free pizza after every win. I can't believe some company hasn't taken advantage of this opportunity. Who would've thought that the Flyers season would come down to a slice!

With Hexy we knew no one was getting trade protection.
- Feanor


Simmer has a modified clause left over from Homer... I doubt he'll sign his next deal without one, all things considered.

Have we actually played a game recently?

1 game in 8 days is ridiculous.

that's some crazy scheduling making a team play 3 games in 3 days then again on the Wednesday

Their GM has done well overall, but he totally botched the ED by not buying Hartnell out before hand and letting Vegas take Karlsson.
- Feanor

Oh yes I forgot about Karlsson

Do teams still get a required week off? Or was this that week?

I mean it’s Columbus
So the market is a lot smaller but I like the way they are building a team.

Young 1c and #1d are the key, but what happens with Bob and the goalie situation and Panarin next year are question marks.

- Marc D


This is where the Flyers should step in and say... Voracek is signed for 5 more years after this season. You have a hard time keeping star players that are UFA. Your going to lose Panarin. We will trade you Voracek and a mid-tier pick for a sign and trade of Panarin.

They get a Star player they can keep, we get a younger slightly better player.

Sounds like Ek is using me as a source now... Flyers looking into Stone. Again, I would do a sign and trade with Voracek. hehe

Only prospects I wouldnt deal at this point are Frost, Hart, and Myers.

I wouldn't deal Farabee or Allison either. I think both could be quick risers to the Flyers.

Ek's sources are never right so you are wrong.

Those teams could just go out and dominate, especially at the dot.

It was so much fun to watch.

I have moderate PTSD from that Detroit finals.

We weren't even in the same universe as them
