murraycraven Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 This kid needs to be in the lineup every night. Quote
hf101 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 @murraycraven couldn't agree more. Defense is not just about the # of hits Quote
murraycraven Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 The kid can play hf... Don't get why he is not in the lineup until now... Quote
doom88 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Agreed, he needs ice time. Who do you sit permanently though? A trade would make that choice easier.Maybe asking in a different way, list the six regular D in order of value to the team? All of them bring something beneficial, yet I want Gus in the lineup somehow... Quote
Lunatic Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 The kid can play hf... Don't get why he is not in the lineup until now...right or Wrong, I think that the Flyers have tried to showcase Mez, at Gus' expense. 1 Quote

ruxpin Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 How does one trade that which is worthless?*from* the Flyers, not to...Well, when the worthless player isn't going TO Holmgren, I admit this feat becomes a lot harder. Going to have to sit Mez and play Gus. Quote

The Quigster Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Is it me or would anybody else like to see a Flyer "D" man who can clear the net. Gus seems like he would be a decent forward on a slow night. Anybody seen Hal Gill? Quote

Anybody seen Hal Gill? Hal Gill was scheduled to be an opening night starter, but he's been scratched every game since as they are still waiting for him to get to the ice. Quote
murraycraven Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 I think schenn is your crease clearing dman right now. For better or worse.... Quote
flyerrod Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I would have Timmo sitting at this point. He is either still injured or just plain getting too old to play. Every game I have watched the Flyers play this year has lazy/bad hooking/int calls on Timmonen. Gus is way more mobile and has a pretty good point shot. I am not sure what they are waiting for....except for Timmonen to stop breathing and be taken out after he goes face first into the mashed potatoes...... Quote
ruxpin Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I don't know if I'd have Timo sitting, but I'd be reducing his ice time significantly. 2nd or 3rd pairing and maybe 2nd PP unit and PK time. Sit Mezarros. Play Gus. Hell, I'd dress Lauridsen, too. I'd just go young and see what I have. I don't know how you make that happen with the cap and the idiotic contracts our defense has, but find a way. Quote
doom88 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I'd leave Lauridsen in the AHL for top pair minutes. Gus really needs top 4 D TOI, in the NHL. I'd be on board with reducing Timonen's TOI, as he's still valuable to the team. Quote
