JackStraw Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Oh, and Mason looks sharp. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Meanwhile, back in Toronto...Nothing to get too excited about fro this game. Del Zotto looks good, that's encouraging. Morin looks ok but definitely not ready for the NHL. Flyers are pretty much outmanned in this game. Yeah, not a lot to get excited about in this second game. Agreed on Del Zotto, he has showed up in fine shape. I like how Cousins has kept his feet moving. He will provide depth in case of injury. I'm confident he can step in and provide some solid play.

The Flyers really have no one who can drive the offense other than Giroux and Jake. I feel bad for Mason, he was good but he basically had an AHL team in front of him. Oh well. Hopefully that's the last we see of some of these guys for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

off_the_post Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't understand putting Mason in with the AHL team tonight. I don't know how that can get him off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Del Zotto will help us offensively, no doubt. OOOoooch -3 tonight....but this was mostly an AHL squad tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 @JackStraw That was one of my best posts ever!! Once and a while my intelligent touchpad stops working (at least that's what the warning says) and it leaves me no option but to exit the page, the only thing that is still working. Even worse, their is no internal fixing it....I'm gonna put in my USP driven key board and mouse and fix it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Clueless Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 OOOoooch -3 tonight....but this was mostly an AHL squad tonight Against most of Toronto's best and brightest. ...so really, fair match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't understand putting Mason in with the AHL team tonight. I don't know how that can get him off to a good start. I liked the idea of him starting the game, getting some work facing Kessel and JVR, etc. - the Leafs' "A" roster basically - but to leave him in the whole game was a bit odd to me.

flyercanuck Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 @Commander Clueless Ya, I thought it was quite sporting for the Leafs to put their NHL team out against a team half full of prospects in a preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quigster Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 After watching JVR's goal last night,it really put the icing on the cake. No doubt one of Homer's HOF trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a bad trade - yes. Does JvR still vanish when it counts - yes... Not sure how JvR playing against a bunch of AHLers would make you finally put the "icing on the cake" as far as that trade is concerned. Interesting...

He's gotten better each year he's been in the league.Phi, 0.45 pts/gamePhi, 0.53 pts/gamePhi, 0.56 pts/gameTor, 0.67 pts/gameTor, 0.76 pts/game And he's now officially a 30-goal scorer. He would look awesome on the top line with G and Jake. At least Luke Schenn hits a lot. Because that's *all* we got in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH1FlyersFan Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thought Simmonds looked a little rusty last night, but it's preseason so not to worry. Rinaldo didn't seem to have much of an impact. Mason had some stellar point blank saves - probably one too many - but given the Flyers lineup, not really all that surprising. Del Zotto got burned on that first JVR goal - who ended up alone in front of the net. Noticed on at least two of their goals - the first and last - that the Leafs were in behind our defenders, right in front of the net. That kinda makes me nervous - but again, given our lineup........ Finally, I sure did get sick and tired of hearing Nylander this and Nylander that. Man, Toronto sure has a woody for that kid. I have a feeling I'm going to really hate watching him play against the Flyers - or any team for that matter. I'll call him out right now as a punk. Edit -- Forgot to add that I really enjoyed watching Cousins play. He's going to be fun to watch as he develops and gets some more ice time. Huge potential there for our third round pick.

He is an exciting player for them. BUT... yes, they were fawning on him waaay too much. And yes, as a result, I hate the kid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agreed. Also, totally not the first time we've seen Toronto do that in these games. I feel like they do it every year. However, our guys were just plain sloppy. Could it be the extra pressure from playing against the likes of Kessel, Lupul and JVR!? I guess so, but hey... you wanna play in the NHL, well here's your chance. I was not impressed with anyone last night, except Akeson. Mini Giroux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm guessing they saw that Philly decided to ice an AHL team, so the Leafs decided to follow suit. It wouldn't have been very challenging for the Flyers otherwise.
