flyerrod Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think Chris Vandevelde is a good 4th liner/PK guy but I am not sure why they are not flipping Vandevelde and Leier. Leier has appeared to have more offensive upside and speed than Vandevelde in his small sampling. If you put him on the same line as Jake and Belly you would increase the overall speed dramatically. Well with the injury bug that is currently following them it might happen anyway................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertmega Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The curious case of Evgeny Medvedev. Where is he? Is he not adjusting well to North America? Is there family issues? (I know his family stayed in Russia) Does he hate Philadelphia? Does he hate cheese wiz, soft pretzels, the Mummers, wooder ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I know this will be a post that gets killed but Manning has played well/better with Gost he has been much better, but it was not hard to improve upon how poorly he was playing...gone appears to be the" turnstile to the goal "technique that he was using a for a couple of weeks. having familiarity with his partner is showing , I like that he stood up for himself when Chris Neil was giving him the business, Neil is the last of a dying breed and Manning hung in there pretty well.

swflyers28 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well, the Isles are a better team so are the Flyers going to play up to their competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Tavares scores 91 goals and adds a helper. Isles 92-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Howdy: This is another test case of the big problem--are we discovering the need to rebuild our forwards was more pressing than the D? I suspect Hakstol can juggle lines from now until Emily Ratajowski is dumb enough to get a breast reduction but five-on-five scoring for this team was bad last year and really awful this stanza. We are approaching 25-30 "cases." That approaches n for bell curve. If we ain't producing now....it's unlikely to happen with this bunch. I see a fire sale at trade deadline.

elmatus Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Tavares scores 91 goals and adds a helper. Isles 92-1So, you're saying the Isles are only going to score on every 2nd shot on goal they get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So, you're saying the Isles are only going to score on every 2nd shot on goal they get? Exactly, I'm not saying our goalies are completely useless. On the contrary. Anyway, yeah, should be a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeetsya Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My theory on Medvedev is that the Flyers are pissed at him because they think he faked/exaggerated his injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Or that he didn't tell them about it. I remember seeing something where Hextall said he was "looking into" why Medvedev had been listed as a healthy scratch, when it turned out he was injured.

Illflyaway Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I personally feel that the Flyers would be better going forward. Their standings aren't truly representative of what they are capable of. When they announced the series of hall-of-fame event, I had a sinking feeling they won't play better until all this hoopla is done. Just a gut feeling. Go Flyers.

RJ8812 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 My theory on Medvedev is that the Flyers are pissed at him because they think he faked/exaggerated his injury ya, because the Flyers medical staff are so great at diagnosing and assessing injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ8812 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Halak is not a very good goalie. You get good shots on him, and you'll beat him. Just like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Did Giroux and Ghost not get the tanking email...they are f**king it up!We're going to have to get FC to go down and take out some knee caps!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nevermind FC there is the Flyers we know. I didn't see what caused the turnover the other way but is there another team worse in the NHL with a minute to go in a period or the game? Flyer have to lead the NHL when it comes to giving up a goal with under 2 minutes to go....jeeeze!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
