Wait... I thought Gudas wasn't eligible until the Sabres game? Good point, though--Alt got Gudas minutes last game.
I hope Hakstol finally decides to ice a center between Raffl and Voracek. Best two forward line in the league. But, I guess with that sort of chemistry, some balance is required to prevent ice combustion.
Passable GDT, Dave-o. (Gotta temper the lovefest )
Is it too much to ask to try NP with them?

As others have said, it's probably not the greatest idea to match up Patrick with top lines. I feel like Filppula is such a zero anyway that I'd like to try the 0.1.
Patrick hasn't been given much opportunity to succeed. PP2 is bogged down by players that are too indecisive--Filppula--or too green/unsuited for NHL PP usage--Provorov. That unit is such a slow developing, perimeter bound clusterfluck.
Side note, a big frustration: Last night, Hakstol sent out PP2 1st as the Flyers were trying for their 4th goal. I really think if he'd put out PP1, the final 15 minutes of the game wouldn't have been such a gutcheck. Hakstol's like the manifestation of Timonen's comment a couple of seasons ago that the Flyers should be playing for more 2-1 victories. Just such a tight anused, nonsense approach. Fluck Hlakstlol
