JackStraw Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @brelicSchenn played less than 10 min. but didn't seem to be hurt or benched. Just the odd man out I guessWho are you to be calling someone else "odd"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange_crush Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @brelicSchenn played less than 10 min. but didn't seem to be hurt or benched. Just the odd man out I guessBut yeah, those were the lines. The decline in TOI for Schenn appears to be losing his PP spot to JVR (which I think is a mistake)I agree what your saying about Schenn..its ashame he loses his spot just because JVR comes back from an injury..not sure why Lavy would want to mess with the lines after all the success we had in round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @orange_crushI guess they like JVR's size and shot better, but I like Schenn's competitiveness more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinorama Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The decline in TOI for Schenn appears to be losing his PP spot to JVR (which I think is a mistake)I as well. Schenn has earned his ice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 but I agree Schenn plays with an edge and toughness that JVR just doesn't bring to the tableI agree. JVR's game for the most part drives me crazy but if he continues to park his keester in Brodeur's face the way he did on that OT goal then he'll get a pass from me.

Podein25 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) @Spinorama@orange_crushI guess one way to look at JVR getting time at Schenn, or anyone else's expense, is that Lavy is showing the same trust in him as he is other young players. They all get their chance to step up. I'm ok with that. Edited April 30, 2012 by Podein25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all get their chance to step up. I'm ok with that.I'm okay with that as well to a degree. One thing that I'm not the biggest fan of is that he was a non-factor for most of the season, while the young guys stepped up and got the Flyers to where they are without him (both while he in the lineup doing nothing and while he was hurt). Then they get their hard work rewarded by just handing JVR his old spot back instead of forcing him to earn it back. If I'm Schenn, I'd be frustrated. As a Flyers fan though it really doesn't matter, I just want Lavi to put the best players in the best spots at the right time of the game and as long as the Flyers win, I don't care if JVR get 22 minutes a game or only 5.

mojo1917 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @Spinorama@podien25@orangecrushi'm not at practice, so this is complete speculation... but perhaps JvR has been working hard there , flying around, he is a very fast skater, maybe Schenn's a little nicked up , he hasn't really been the same player since the asham hit....maybe to the coaches it isn't even a question of who should be getting the minutes based on last weeks practices.that said i thought JvR was pretty effective with some room to improve, he's plus 3 with a goal and made a great rush just prior to the gwg, what i noticed about him is he went into the "men only " areas of the ice, took a beating but stayed in the the fight, i think that is a good sign.

First of all, he was flying at practice the last few days, looking like he'd finally mended from the broken foot he suffered in early March"http://www.philly.co.../149435285.html"The week [off] really provided an opportunity to push him with his conditioning and his pace and his on-ice play. After a good week of practice, we wanted to put him in the position where he could try to be successful and I thought he was."

Lavi has my trust. I'm really glad the Flyers got JVR back for the playoffs actually. A lot of people were speculating (not necessarily here) that he WILL find that gear that seemed to have gone dormant all season once the POs come around. A JVR playing to his potential or at least heading in that direction is all I ask. He's done really well since coming back. He's expected to not only not be a liability but contribute as well and he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanflyer Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @JackStrawalso led the team in shots with 5 (and with a little elevation on one of them would of had his second goal), almost scored at the end of regulation. Took a beating in front of the net and got the primary screen on Briers game winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @Podein25While the Briere-JVR-Voracek line was probably the best on the ice, I had always hoped that they reunited the JVR-Schenn-Simmonds line. I thought before JVR broke his foot, that line had great energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
