OccamsRazor Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I will say i do like this lineup....no RJ is always a good lineup....however no Medvedev well i'm not sure how that is better and how can you showcase him if he is in the pressbox...

icehole Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I hate that shultz/streit pair. I would never put the two slowest guys on the same pair. I know they've done it a lot of the season but I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have you spoke truer words, dear God i hate to watch those two in their own zone....i cringe every time one of them touches the puck...and i'm not going to lie i actually like Schultz better in that instance (i can not believe i just typed that but it's true i see Streit now as nothing but a liability now sorry....can't wait till he is gone.

intheslot Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Should be a good game rough to win for the flyers.. Canes have better speed in their line up and love flop around to get the calls Flyers win this one 4 to 2....Simmer busts out early . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well Faulk playing or not could be huge too....dude is a big piece to their blueline...hope he can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Strange bounces and the Staal Brothers are doing us in today. We are putting shots on goal. Cam is playing like he did a decade ago. Not our night so far. Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sad to see the damn begin to crumble after a Neuvy brain fart (kind of feel sorry for him he has played so well this season)...they fought hard but let's be honest...it isn't a very talented team and most of the skilled guys are young sort of (only excuse i can muster right now) especially on the backend to be able to support the forwards....you could wipe out the whole defense and keep Ghost and start over and i'd be ok with it. It was very glaring i thought with their inability to even set up and hold the offensive zone WITH AN EXTRA MAN!!!! Please no more talk of trade Giroux tonight it was obvious to even Stevie Wonder despite his size he is hands down the best forward on this team. PERIOD! They will get better eventually but not till some of this junk is cleared from this roster and some of the skilled kids come in. No way Provorov doesn't make this squad next year....no friggin way.
