Nylander is soft as Charmin. If he can be dealt for a respectable d man you do it! Even more extreme..Marner is not built for the playoffs...trade him for a young super star d man!

Nobody is picking up Marner at his cap hit in a flat cap world. 

Jake game time decision on Wednesday, skated today.

Brian Propp is on record saying he hated Chellios ever since too!  I don’t remember this moment as fondly as the first fight in 1987 as we were about to be eliminated.

Propp was the radio color guy when the Flyers tried to trade for Chelios at the deadline. Detroit ended up getting him instead. Propp said he never would have forgiven the organization if they had acquired Chelios.

Canes in 5. They already had the best defensive corps in the league, and they're getting Hamilton back. Unless Mrazek implodes, I don't see Boston being able to match the speed of the Canes. Bruins just have no jump, I don't think they're going to be able to turn it on.

They both played awful, probably among the worst games they've each played as a pro. And we still won, lol

How soon we forget the Chicago game in Provorov's rookie year.

My bad. you said "among the worst," not, "the worst." See what an 8th grade education gets you?

Just saying, remember what happened the last time the Flyers played a Habs team that had upset the Pens.

Bring on the Habs!

You're in the 8th grade?! I knew @CoachX was held back and still trying to get out of the 8th grade, but you?

Sometimes I feel like it.

NAK that close to the hatty from JVR.

I'm writing my final paper for my 8th grad class while drinking and watching this game. This is not going to end well.

FARABEE! GHOST!

Sanheim back.

Carchidi saying might be Sanheim's hand hurt. Hopefully not bad.

Oh, you'd be surprised. Mrs P is not.

 

It could be worse. You could be a Leafs fan.

Ghost looking good. He almost killed one of the Bolts at center ice.

You're right. I'm an idiot.

Only on Saturdays in August.

It means opposition center is first stick down. This may seem trivial, but it ain't.

 

 

I don't think this is true anymore. Pretty sure the defensive player has to put theirs down first now.

@OccamsRazor

Told you I'd think about putting him on the top line.

I liked NAK, but not as much as you. He's flying tonight. Team looks good so far.

And to me the worst part if you win home ice throughout the playoffs what does that really even mean??

 

The color of the jersey you wear on a given night?? I hope once the playoffs actually start we all only hear the home team goal song/horn when they score....otherwise there is nothing to give the home team that feels like home at all.

Last change, which is actually a pretty big thing when you're looking to match Couturier against Kucherov/Bergeron/Mathews etc.

Other than that, there's no crowd to energize, so the effect is minimized.

So....if we beat Tampa tonight, its 100% locked into a 7 game series with the Habs. If we lose to Tampa we play the winner of Toronto and Columbus....correct?

You are correctly correct.

I give you credit... I just thought the Oilers were a better team and they got thoroughly outplayed by the Hawks. I tip my hat to you...

I honestly don't know that the Oilers are better. Better top talent? yeah. But I think the Hawks are deeper 5-12 up front and I don't like the Oilers D corps a little bit. The Hawks actually played more on the right side of the ice than the Oilers in general over the course of the season. If it wasn't for McDavid and Draisaitl dragging that team around all season, nobody gives them a shot.

I was close. Pretty sure I'm the one who called the Chicago sweep.
