Howie58 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Risky: Welcome to the board; I hope you have many good posts and responses. I don't see Akeson advancing but if Luke Schenn can be a healthy scratch, I suspect the likes of Umberger and LVC could sit out a night. Bellemare and VLC might actually be OK but at this juncture, our 3rd and 4th lines are contributing so little one wonders if the combinations matter. Something is wrong with either the coaching or the ability. Best,Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well, despite all the lip service Hextall and Berube paid to wanting Couturier to provide more offense and putting him in a position to succeed, I think they have failed so far on that front. Only 22% of Couturier;s faceoffs are in the offensive zone, his 2nd lowest % over his 4 seasons. 46% of his faceoffs are defensive zone, the most of his career (the rest are neutral zone). That is one area Berube specifically mentioned he would change. Ultimately, Couturier is responsible for his production - but we all know that the coach is responsible for identifying how to put his players in the best positions to succeed. All that to say that the Couturier line does next to nothing offensively. This is truly a one line team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck. That's possibly worse than what we have now. In fact, it *is* worse. Akeson is not an NHL player. I am interested to see what White brings to the table, though.

I am interested to see what White brings to the table, though.Haha I post a lineup with no RJ and no Vinny and you say that is worse than we have now???That is too funny I swear all you have to complqin about is Akeson?I'll take it....he was of the few guys on this roster who scored versus tbe Rangers last playoffs. All this guys in the lineup and all ya got is Akeson?No further comment....HAHAHA....enjoy your Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need veterans in the lineup that are not named Umberger and VLC. So you added Akeson to your lineup - and he was just waived today. I am interested in seeing White, as I said. I don't know much about him, so I have no idea how he'll add to the lineup. Swap out VLC and Umberger for, say, guys like Perron and Iginla and I think that's a better lineup.

LegionOfDoom Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I might go with:Bellemare - Giroux - VoracekSchenn - Couturier - ReadRaffle - Laughton - SimmondsRinaldo - White- ??????(Bin Laden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 . I am interested in seeing White, as I said. I don't know much about him, he will bring some toughness and grit, his game is not necessarily "that" but he is one of those "born Flyer types"... right now we lack that. His injection into the lineup might make everyone a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'd be ok with that but just how do you expect to get Iginla? I was just using him as an example - he plays a position we need, he's a veteran, and he still has skills though they are eroding fast. He's 37 now, so I wouldn't really be interested. A few years ago or even last offseason would have been a smarter move than VLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 He's 37 now, so I wouldn't really be interested Some are an exception of the age rule he is one he is coming off a 30 goal season last year.....that would have lead the Flyers....but it's pipe dream for sure...he's got 3-4 years more before he becomes Flyers trade material.
