flyercanuck Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 2 goals and 1 assist Where was THAT as a Flyer? Or does this mean he takes the next month off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanaticV3.0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So far both JVR and Luke seem to look equally lost.Excellent news. Misery loves company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanaticV3.0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Update: James van Riemsdyk scored two goals and added one assist to lead Toronto to a 5-2 victory over the Penguins Wednesday night.Also, Colton Orr and Derek Engelland mixed it up again. Can't wait to see what Mr. Engelland's eye looks like tomorrow: Is it me or are big stereotypical goons making a bit of a come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Excellent scrap. Two of the best at what they do, and I agree with 21, I'd take Engelland on my team any day of the week and twice on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 2 goals and 1 assist Where was THAT as a Flyer? Or does this mean he takes the next month off?In 11-12 JVR had three points (2g1a) in that 9-8 Winnipeg debacle. Then came back two weeks later with three points (1a2g) in a 9-2 win over Les Vestes Bleu.The year before that, his only three point game was his hat trick.In his rookie season he had a three assist night against Tampa.Since you asked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanaticV3.0 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It's you. Engelland actually plays pretty good D.How many minutes a game does he play? Does he actually play a lot?Stereotypical was the wrong word. I just mean I'm seeig some bigger guys fight more often. I'm seeing bigger guys period. For a while the trend seemed to be going after smaller faster guys, but between some of the newer guys, Buffalo's D with those two monsters they've got, and Orr, Engelland poping up (at least in what i've been watching), I thought maybe thigns were changing again.

I think there has been more fights than usual; coaches trying to fire up the teams and even the crowds. Just not necessarily the heavyweights. Lots of middleweights, too.Engelland has averaged around 10:00 a night but I think that has to increase soon. Bylsma is smart....he won't overuse his top two pairings.
