Awesome. It'd be nice to finally have one of those unheralded mid rounds picks who comes up and makes his mark that every other team seems to have.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Awesome.

He totally deserves it. Good job Hexy on rewarding him with his great play.

Berube you ****ing knob you better play him.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, extremely excited to see that Hextall is rewarding him for his play.

I'm just worried that Berube will put him in a position to fail and we won't be able to fairly evaluate him.

Who was Umberger playing with of late?

 

[Striiker]

Who was Umberger playing with of late?

It was:

Schenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
White-Raffl-Umberger


I would hope that it will now be:

Schenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
White-Cousins-Raffl

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

it'll be interesting to see how he translates to the NHL. I'm not expecting much of an impact so hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised

 

[Lindberg]

It was:

Schenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
White-Raffl-Umberger


I would hope that it will now be:

Schenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
White-Cousins-Raffl

I think this goes to show the usefulness of Raffl. Seems like he has the ability to play up and down in the line up. Can't believe some people throw him in for trade proposals.

In before Cousins gets 5 minutes a game with the likes of Rinaldo on his line.

In before Cousins gets 5 minutes a game with the likes of Rinaldo on his line.

If he's on a line with Rinaldo he should be getting 12+ minutes per game

 

[cheesesteakarmor]

Release the Cousins!

He's gotta actually get in the ice to begin with. He was recalled, but the Flyers have 12 healthy forwards.

 

[BillDineen]

Great news. He deserved to be rewarded. Cousins and White together are going to drive the other team nuts!

 

[dats81]

I almost gave up on him last season when he just would not get his stuff together.
Great turnaround season! He deserves to get a chance to play with the big boys now.

True, but I can't imagine they'd call him up just to have him sit and watch a bunch of vets play. Since it's a lost season, there's no better time than now to let players like Cousins get their feet wet, and try to get an idea of what he might be able to offer for next season.

 

[TheKingPin]

He was part of the carter trade right? If he's a legit middle 6 player we won that deal even more than we already did. Excited to see him play.

 

[dingbathero]

Good stuff.

Having said that, I hope he plays a "true" game. I hated watching him feign and look for calls from the refs. Reminded me of a soccer player quite a bit. It was brutal to watch.

Just play a north south hard nosed game. That's all I ask. Be a pest. Don't **** this up.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Nice. I've been psyched to see this kid in the NHL for a while. Would be nice if he makes some sort of impact and earns a spot for next season, but I'm thinking he'll still be on the bubble coming in to camp.

Good Job Homer ! Homer did a lot of good things as GM in my view, he knows talent . Long term he may get the last laugh ?

No doubt he had some nice moves.

 

[chupanibre]

Nice, good luck to him, hope he kills it!

 

[OriginJM]

I think he's going to do great, in my opinion his type of the game best translates to the NHL.

Yeah, if they just wanted a body they could have called up Gordon or Rosehill.

Yup. especially considering Hextall's mentality when concerning the youngsters. I feel this is more of a reward then anything else. I don't necessarily think management believes Cousins is ready for the next level. Though I do believe he is one of the more NHL ready prospects in the pool, behind only Laughton perhaps.

Happy just to watch something new with the team. Pretty nice bonus for tonight's game.
