Definite improvement.

It won't take long until Carlyle reverts back to his old ways though and puts the JVR-Bozak-Kessel line back. I say it won't last more than 2-3 games. Same way how Kadri was on first unit and then taken off.

Ummm I love saturday mornings at work.

 

[The Reaper]

You mean the 20th right?

According to several Flyers reporters, Steve Mason helped off ice after a non-contact practice injury. No additional info yet.

Home game. Shouldn't be too hard to exploit their defence. Schenn goes on Kessel goes on. Boom

 

[AustonMitchWilly]

Send Ashton packing for christ sakes. That kids a useless plug.

God I hope so. Too much floating by the top line.

JVR adjusted nicely on Kadri's line...seems like he and Santa make every player they play with better.

Lupul and Kessel were a lethal duo before we got JvR so it shouldn't be too hard to get that magic back...but I hope they can cycle more instead of relying on rush.

So true

Should wait till he's been given a shot at the pros before we toss him in the trash

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I know this will be a tough game.

Lets see how long he stays with, he has shown for years now that he can't stick to something.

My gut tells me they'll be back together by the end of the 1st period, hope I'm wrong though.

Brutal..we just can't catch a break

 

[Delicious Dangles*]

I'm happy to see the lines changed a bit (though still not ideal), but I have seen this recording too many times to believe Carlyle is going to stick with it.

Lupul on the top line isn't going to change how the top line plays. You need a hard worker like Komarov, Winnick on the line instead. However, I expect Kadri to benefit heavily with JVR on his wing.

 

[Derrty]

Don't worry guys, I let them know it was my Bday tomorrow. Paul O'Neill said he would hit two home runs for me.

Absolutely agreed. Would have loved to see Winnik going to the top line and keeping Lupul, Holland and Clarkson intact.

Can they just keep this together a month?

Please.

 

[Al14]

Winning 7 games in a row was too much to ask!

So, go ahead, unmake my day! Lose 2 in a row, LOSERS!

 

[StringsAttached]

Cheese Steak anyone?

 

[Al14]

We need a mass jersey toss in the warmups!

This team needs to know how embarrassed, and pissed, we are at them for losing to the Canes!

Asshats!

 

[zeke]

It's my yearly game, so they best win lol!
