Weise has actually been a very effective possession player, even when not scoring.

Anyone have a link to Hakstol's comments on him? I keep hearing about them.
I guess this is it.

Did Hak really say that? I have to ask, why is he the first one to get him to say that? Not like when he sat Ghost or MDZ. I really hope because of this that he would consider sitting at least VDV or PEB at some point.

Jonesey or JJ said it during the broadcast also, that Hak admitted he didn't deserve to sit.

What a freakin stud this kid is. Such a hard worker, I feel like he makes something happen every shift he's out there.

He was IMMENSE last night. I've been a fan of his since day one and he keeps showing us what he's got. I'd be comfortable with him playing on any line. There's no reason to take Raffl off the top line, but I would be more than comfortable with Lube up there if we needed him. Huge fan of this guy. If Rube and Voro are anything like as good as him, we are really in business.

Lyubimov is doing what coaches want you to do, you get a chance, you perform on that chance. He can't take him out now, he's going to keep him in, which I'm happy about. My guess is Leier/Cousins are out when Read & Couturier are healthy. Honestly Lyubimov makes the line with VDV/PEB relatively useful. He's tenacious.

I'd be pleased locking him up for a couple years if he'd like to stay.
edit: and by "pleased" I mean I ****ing love this guy and hope we do it.
When injury free guessing? Schenn has done well at center. No need to mess with what's working.
Raffl--Giroux--Voracek
Konecny--Schenn--Simmonds
Read--Couturier--Lyubimov
VandeVelde--Bellemare--Weise
Del Zotto--Gudas
Gostisbehere--Provorov
Macdonald--Streit
Raffl--Giroux--Voracek
Konecny--Schenn--Simmonds
Read--Couturier--Lyubimov
VandeVelde--Bellemare--Weise
Del Zotto--Gudas

No....Schenn has been a train wreck at center. Don't let Power Play points fool you. He's still mediocre to bad at 5V5.
You put Couturier right back with Konecny, because Schenn has neutered Konecny.

I think Schenn stays at center. As I think Hak will scratch Cousins over the potential wingers.

I would not mind Schenn staying at C for time-being... but in formation like:
Raffl -- Giroux -- Voracek
Konecny -- Couturier -- Simmonds
Read -- Schenn -- Weise
Bellemare -- Cousins -- Lyubimov
I know, I know... I can dream on the VdV front.

I said it in the game thread last night.
Lyubimov is bottom 6 forward Gudas (minus the step up hits). He's relentless, strong, a wrecking ball along the boards, blasts every shot he can from anywhere, and is smart and a good possession player.

They would be. The problem is Konecny-Schenn-Simmonds has been extremely easy to play against.

After reading the Flyers fan in the Flyers Win Streak thread on the main board who says the win streak proves that Couturier is overrated and expendable, I think the reason certain people bash Couturier so much is because he makes them feel dumb.
He's not a flashy player and he doesn't do things that show up in highlights so you actually need to know what you're looking at to see his value. I'm not even talking about looking at advanced statistics either, I'm only talking about the good ol' eye test. If you don't pay attention to the little things he does right then you might not be able to accurately understand his value, which is why we read people, even Flyers fans, who underrate him so much. It bothers them that so many on here think he's so good and they're not capable of seeing why. That's why idiots on facebook, twitter, other forums, and our dumbass beats don't get how good he is and think he's a bottom 6 checker.
