Irishjim Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The Flyers (2-5) need a spark. They have scored a total of five goals in their five losses.Here are the new lines for Friday's game in Washington against the strugglin Capitals:* Giroux centering Briere and Simmonds.* Sean Couturier centering Read and Mike Knuble.* Bryaden Schenn centering Tye McGinn and Jake Voracek.* Max Talbot centering Ruslan Fedotenko and Zac Rinaldo.The D pairings: Kimmo Timonen-Luke Schenn; Braydon Coburn-Bruno Gervais; Nick Grossmann-Kurtis Foster.

jammer2 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 @Irishjim Although he does not have any points, I don't see how Welly played himself off this roster. Admittedly, McGinn has looked impressive, and Knubs was a nice veteran additon....so, I understand in principal...but Welly was one of the few forwards working the cycle and interfering on the forecheck, forcing bad passes leading to turnovers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no use for Rinaldo at all. Wellwood has better skill and causes things to happen with his speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Fedotenko needs to get waived. He seriously brings nothing to the table. He was effective with Pit and TB in scoring on the Flyers. Now as a member of the Flyers he still manages to score against the Flyers. Like him or not Wellwood would be better suited playing LW on the 4th line 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 @Bertmegamaybe the fedotenko is allergic to orange, it's like is level of play has reverted to the style that made him trade-bait all those years ago, just missing on everything, being around the play but not quite making it. this is the ruslan fedotenko i remember, not the guy that kills 5-3's as a Ranger or scores dagger gw goals for pittsburgh.wtf ?

Bertmega Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 @mojo1917Exactly. It's like he wants to go play elsewhere. A lot of standing around, blown coverage, missed shots. He's KILLING ME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
