[FlyTimmo]

Anticipating a 2-1 dull loss. Filppula will score an unassisted goal

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Nice one, boss, especially that song!

 

[boxcar65]

Same lineup as against the Caps? I think Sanheim is back in for Manning, but it also wouldn't surprise me if he gives Gudas a night off. Not saying I agree with it, but Hak can be unpredictable with his scratches(now that's an understatement....lol).

 

[deadhead]

I can see Gudas getting a night off to clear his head except that would pair Manning and Sanheim, or Manning and Ghost and Sanheim and Hagg. Nah, Manning back to the press box.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Hopefully we can beat up the Cats as well!

 

[Beef Invictus]

I think everyone on the board should like MSE's GDT posts. Let's see if we can get him. near the top of the likes board.

Well, near the top aside from Carolina fans scamming the system.

I support this 100%

 

[Adam Warlock]

Manning was awful last night and should defintely sit for this one. Hes a fake tough guy and had no business being in the game. We all know hes going to play against Edm next weekend so at least give Travis the games this week.

Id go with Elliott in this one and Neuvirth vs Nashville.

I cannot wait, seriously. I just hope it gets super punchy.

Manning made a bad play on the second Caps goal. Other than that, I wouldn’t say he was awful. He played like a number 6 D-man and chipped in an assist. Sanheim will probably be back in for him on Tuesday.

 

[Rebels57]

The 3 worst players on the ice were MacDonald, Manning, and Weise. This is indisputable.

Sanheim better be back in on Tuesday (which means he wont be).

 

[Magua]

Sanheim better be back in on Tuesday (which means he wont be).

It is no accident that the Flyers have won both games with Man Dog in. Yes, he will make the odd mistake and rightly deserves blame when he does, but what he always provides is hard work and positive energy. And he is so good at the little things. He knows how to get the boys going, and as talented as Sanheim is, you can feel the lack of confidence from his teammates and coaches. If Man Dog sits, I will understand, but I hope Hak does the right thing and gives him another game. Hard to change the roster after an 8-2 win.

 

[Striiker]

That sarcasm will fly over a few heads.

 

[BillDineen]

The work was put in. The work must be rewarded at all costs.

Thank you Beefy and for those who "like" but it is done now as in the past to engage in conversation; not for any rewards. The acknowledgements are shown through mutual respect between members and me or at least as I see it. However, up those votes! (I used a smilie).

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That sarcasm will fly over a few heads.

No doubt

 

[boxcar65]

Hmmmm...it may have been sarcasm, but what Magua says actually does make some sense. I honestly think that is exactly how his coaches and teammates feel about him. All of the bashing he receives here could be having the opposite effect with the team. You want to see the heart and soul, give everything you have type of players succeed.

[TheKingPin]

Really love our 4 line team against teams like this. Their first line is good and their second isn't bad but we have a large advantage after that. All about the mismatches!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I still think the biggest upgrade we got this year is a legit 4th line. Something we haven't had since Adam Hall was around. This should be a good one for the Flyers and hopefully they can put a 4 or 5 spot on these guys.

 

[NYCFlyer]

The 3 worst players on the ice were MacDonald, Manning, and Weise. This is indisputable.

Sanheim better be back in on Tuesday (which means he wont be).

Thats what i saw also but not in that order. Manning might have been a bit rusty and he is just fine for a 7th D but he was the weakest link. I think the team has really upgraded the personnel this year when Weise who is a bona fide NHLer was the worst forward on the ice (patrick was 2nd worst imo). MacD would be my third followed by Gudas.

That being said i was really impressed by Hagg and absolutely see why he is out there instead of Morin and Sanheim. Very physical and strong against some big guys, simple smart plays. Not sure they showed his tussle with Wilson behind the play but he dropped him then kind of hit him again and Wilson was crying to the refs. Laughton was flying all night and was excellent same with the first line they were really dominating Kunetzov. Like to balance the negative discussion after an awesome win.

 

[boxcar65]

And to further increase the blood pressure of 95% of the posters here, it appears Manning might be in the lineup again tomorrow night based on who left the ice today at the end of practice. Now, this is according to Sammy, so take it for what it's worth.

I don't think Little Sam understands the job he is being paid to do lol. In fact, I'm sure of it. What is he even talking about.

 

[Rebels57]

As I predicted, Manning has botched and bumbled his way into another game.

We will once again be spotting a team 2 goals, guaranteed.

No point in even get worked up anymore. Im just gonna keep track of every time he plays when he shouldnt and each goal he cost us. So far its 2 games, 2 goals.
