Been paired with Timonen.
I think they're going to be the 2nd pair defensively behind the Coburn-Grossmann shutdown pair.
Each day between now and the Flyers’ first game, Tim Panaccio and Sarah Baicker will take a stab at answering one big question facing the 2012-13 Philadelphia Flyers.
Today's question: Can Luke Schenn find a happy balance between being a physical defenseman without also turning the puck over?
Tim: Big and physical. Not the swiftest skater around. Certainly not in Erik Gustafsson’s league for puck movement. That would describe Luke Schenn, who has the size of Luke Richardson, but still lacks the fear factor that Richardson presented in his prime as a hard hitter. The Flyers expect Schenn to grow into something along those lines. That he can do it here without the glare of the Toronto spotlight where every little mistake was magnified should serve to help Schenn get comfortable in his role. That he will have his brother, Brayden, around adds another measure of comfort as these two talked almost every day in their careers from opposite cities. Given the fragile state of the Flyers’ blue line because of injuries and the loss of valuable veteran expertise, his “growth” factor this season could be pivotal for the defense.
Nope. It was Schenn.
Kennedy credited with the goal. So no.
Maybe offtopic, maybe not (since he is a big part of it), but did anyone else notice how little our d was pinching along the boards overall - even in the late stages of the game? Is that part of Snider's new edict or is it an adjustment by Lavi due to having a slower blueline?
I know its only been two games, but what you've seen so far how do you feel about the trade?
Schenn is ok. he's a little slow footed. He's still young, so we have a few years. Coburn didn't become consistent before 25/26. He's made a few nice plays so far, and had a couple out of position penalties.I know its only been two games, but what you've seen so far how do you feel about the trade?
