Hmm.

If nothing else, some of the old timers who need us to hit more should be happy.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Offensive woes solved.

 

[kudymen]

We have more M(a)cDonalds than we have goals

 

[Alchemy]

Hexy and Hakstol obviously see how soft this team is that the had to call a grinder up.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We're saved!

 

[dookie88]

Big guy, at least.

Here is hoping that a) the front office finally got that we need more athleticism (strength and speed) and Read played his last game as a Flyer.

 

[Striiker]

We're saved!

No, we were a lost cause ever since we let Porter go for free.

 

[Alchemy]

Assuming he dresses. Who does he replace?

Cousins? Read? VDV? or Laughton?

My best guess is either Laughton or Cousins which is silly IMO.

I don't think he'll play unless there's another injury, which probably is the only reason he was called up. They want someone who could fill in in the bottom 6. Weal can't do that and no one wants Umberger to play anymore.

 

[SuchySays]

He'll probably be in for Laughton.

White or Read. I bet Red tho, he brings nothing vs Caps

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Today was the Phantoms last game. Martel & Goulbourne have been getting healthy scratched lately because they have had too many bodies down there. Hextall's there today evaluating the young guys. So it could be just a spacing call-up. MacDonald was probably going to be a black ace anyway.

 

[Delete99991]

Read looks way overmatched in this series. Too small, too slow, lost on the PK.

If game 2 was his swan song that's fine with me.

 

[OzFlyers]

They were one injury away from having to play Umberger.

 

[Curufinwe]

Would Umberger do worse than VdV on the 4th line? I really doubt it.

Would Laughton or Raffl do worse than VdV on the PK? I doubt that, too. That botched stick handoff last night was infuriating.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

you guys are delusional if you think VDV will be scratched...

he has the UND freepass card. that thing is pure gold to Hakslogic

 

[dookie88]

Would Umberger do worse than VdV on the 4th line? I really doubt it.

Yes.
Because Umberger is a slower skater than me and VdV is not.

I've skated twice in my life.

 

[kudymen]

Yes.

I've skated twice in my life.

Off the bench and to the bench? haha

 

[Curufinwe]

Umberger is just as fast as VdV this season. You're not actually watching the games if you still think skating is his problem.

 

[Rebels57]

I actually think Umberger might be faster.

VandeVelde has very rarely even touched a puck this season.

He might as well not even exist.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I hate to say it, but I think Umberger brings more than VDV. At least offensively, anyways.

 

[Curufinwe]

McDonald could take Bellmare's spot if he's suspended.
