Dear RJ:

 

I agree with your assessment.  The strange thing, noted in the game and elsewhere, is the fact that Laughton's line is one of the three best in possession to date.  I never thought of JVR as a possession dude, but that is what's happening.  That said, I agree that Hayes' return will allow for juggling and yes, some more distributed scoring.  I hope AV is right about Oskar--he is getting sea legs back.  The other Q is whether JVR is becoming an overpriced powerplay dude with even less juice 5 on five?  That's almost too much to contemplate.  

As far as the third lines possession stats…they posses the puck but can’t finish, it’s like the guy at the bar who raps with a girl all night and at the end of the night he goes home alone, he doesn’t score , just like the third line.  I think to get Lindblom going , maybe move him up with Coots and Konecny, they were great together a few years ago. G can center the second line and Brassard can center the third and move Laughton to the wing . Then I’d Lindblom gets going and Allison comes back, we can dump JVR at the deadline.

The Flames are playing like the best team in the Western Conference, and the Flyers were at the end of a long western Canada road trip. Burn the "tape", and move on!
