Wow, that foot work by Lindblom for the goal was pretty.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Lindblom just going ham on the AHL

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

McDonald! Tie this up! Give Lindblom the hatty!

 

[Hiesenberg]

Wait...I'm confused. It was 5-3, Tony said it was a 1 goal game. How is it tied?

Lindblom has 3 pts tonight. I'm getting excited.

oh...nevermind, read it wrong.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Morin & Alt are out there pretty much every other shift right now.

I'd love to see both on the Flyers next season.


Phantoms look super motivated right now.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Comrie fails to hold the blueline, probably wish Morin was there instead.

Linbomber!!

Cant fault them for Comrie held it twice the play right before that. At one point jumping to save it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hopefully Lindblom signs on for next year. He plays a simple but effective North American style of game.

No but that's Morin's bread & butter in the offensive zone. I doubt that guy beats him one on one there like he did to Comrie. Gordon wouldn't have used him on the right side in that situation anyway though.

 

[Hiesenberg]

He's success in these few weeks can only help us with his confidence to play in NA.

I know he said he still has a year left in Europe. But hopefully Hextall can convince him to stick around.

Haks needs to get me this Caggulia for the bottom 6

I may take him inThe bottom 6 tomm

According to Friedman reportedly the Flyers aren't really interested.

Remember seeing that. He's so what I want in the bottom 6 though, fast and the ability to score. That UND line is magic !!

I imagine Haks recruited him as well

Obviously they do it to varying degrees but Konecny, Aube-Kubel, Leier, Bardreau, & Martel are in the same mold. I'd imagine that's part of the reason why the interest isn't really there given at least 4/5 of them will be at the pro level next year.

Even Goulbourne has enough speed & natural skill to be an effective bottom sixer if he develops properly. He's might be the fastest of the group to be honest.

The Flyers have shown it's pretty easy to build up winger depth in such a short time span without spending a lot of high picks on them.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

North Dakota wins the National Championship.

Hakstol was holding them back

 

[FLYguy3911]

Morin +4 in a 6-4 loss? Impressive.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Morin +4 in a 6-4 loss? Impressive.

He was pretty good tonight. The Phantoms weren't getting hemmed in their own zone when Morin & Alt were out there like the other pairings. He was pretty physical tonight, I don't think he lost a puck or board battle. He had a couple hits he sent guys flying where he seemed to not even get a lot of steam built up prior to it.

Gordon had him on the second PP unit for a shift later in the game but it was only about 30 seconds like normal. They never really got in the zone so nothing came of it.

I thought he played the left point on the 2nd PP unit all night. Tomorrow I'd assume Sanheim would replace him.

Morin also made a great play to pinch in to the goal line and whip the puck back to Conner on Lindblom's first goal.

Yeah he had the third assist on Lindblom's second goal too. He gained possession of the puck in the defensive zone & hit a streaking Conner up the right wing to start an offensive rush.

Hopefully his role expands into more a two-way role next year because he can be a factor offensively.

Edit: He might have. It was tough to really tell at times since Gordon would take the first unit off around the 30 second mark of the PP every time & some times they wouldn't even get full changes.

I don't even know why Gordon bothers throwing a second unit out there without a faceoff at that point. They basically have to gain the zone & get set up right away or its over. He's really doing them a disservice there.

Agreed, they have good depth in speed and hockey sense, but do need some bigger wingers and depth Cs with size as well. Caggiula might not be the best fit. Now Vesey....

Yeah not just that but Vesey's a guy who's very likely on your opening night roster too. I doubt they get him but the Flyers should be throwing their hat into the ring for him on August 15th.
