BearOnIce Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Would there be any truth to the hypothesis that the Flyer players that show up and get minutes playing might be the ones that stay on this team next year? How do you think management may see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 @BearOnIce It's a nice theory, but with the cap going down, you can only unload so many scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I don't think this game goes well... if you want us to win that is.... if you want us to keep working on the #1 pick I see this as a great game.I guess we've handled the pens well at their barn since their move... but after this huuuuge layoff and our recent play??? Not gonna bet on the flyboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Flyers win this. Plenty of rest and practice. Might even show a glimmer of (false) hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineFlyFan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yup...we all get a big dose of "false hope" this evening I bet. Pens have won 11 straight.....they are DUE for a loss....and they suck against us in their own barn.....so yeah. We all get to feel warm and fuzzy inside tonight......until we loose to the panthers or islanders next week.....(don't even think we're playing them but you get the point.....)And as for the managment watching this game....I think they already know who goes and who stays in the big picture....the last 25 games have shown the managment all they need to know in my opinon......

pensuck Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We win 4-2. Everyone's back on the band wagon and the Flyers lose the next 4. Kind of the way this season has gone. We finish tied for last place with the Panther's but lose out on the #1 pick because of the lottery. Seriously though I think we win tonight in a very physical game.

flyercanuck Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 First of all, if Flyer management decides on next years team by ONE game, God help us all.I see Philly coming out guns ablazin', full steam ahead, no quarter, take no prisoners. The game is close for two periods. Then the real 2013 Flyers come out in the 3rd and the Pens roll over us 6-3. Bring on the draft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I see the game as the Flyers are a step behind because they haven't played all week. However, if both Malkin and Letang are out I think the Penguins are short on scoring depth.No Briere tonignt - he suffered an UBI in yesterday's practice.The game comes down to Bryz's play imo. If the rest helped him .......the Flyers win......if he is rusty and slow.....Penguins win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hate to say it but the think the pens put it to us tonight. Long break and they come out slow.... our defense continues to play like a ahl squad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearOnIce Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 @BearOnIce It's a nice theory, but with the cap going down, you can only unload so many scrubs.I was thinking about Bryz, Briere, and other veterans. The buyouts and the others not under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List em in order. Or, at the very least some of the more intersting:Captain Roo - UntouchableBryz -Brier -Coburn -Talbot -Shelly -Gervais -Boosh -Leighton -B Shenn -L - Shenn -Etc.

My guess is that they try to package hartnell and either shcenn or Couts for a big name two-way defence man or possibly try to add Byfuglin?? I think Bryz stays however. I'd be surprised if they buy him out after this season....he's had his down moments but's he's also started EVERY game but one and has had some great games to keep us alive......
