I feel that defensively we were strong, but offensively, we were lucky to net three goals. It's nice to see us get some lucky bounces though while on the attack. We're due a lot of those after the first several games of next to nothing.
I agree that Grossmann is an absolute horse and so is Luke Schenn. Coburn is too, he just doesn't throw his weight around near as much as the others, but the guy is huge and still fast. When Meszaros returns and is at full speed, this will have to be the most physical defense in the Nhl. I think that will pay dividends in each and every playoff series, so we best go on a run and make damn sure we get there. It's a shame we don't have Pronger, but we do have a lot of Nhl capable bodies once everyone else is healthy.
Bryz continues to be solid and you also have to tip your hat to guys like Voracek, Read, B. Schenn and Simmonds who are really picking up the slack offensively. G and Briere have yet to really get it going. Once they do, our offense will be formidable.
oh man.. if tye mcginn becomes our milan lucic..
holy crap
7:30 left in 1st and it's 3-1 Flyers over devils.
Bryz let in an early to Zajac before 1 minute mark,then flyers retaliate with Simmonds,Knuble and Read scoring.
Let's bury these guys!!
Briere or couturier need to figure out how to play wing. The knuble, briere, fedetenko line is completely useless. Briere and knuble are horrible defensively and knuble and fedetenko are pretty weak offensively. That line does nothing. I know knuble scored, but that line is completely useless.
G needs to get it together. The team needs him to produce. I know he's good on face offs, but I think it's time to put him at wing and have briere center the top line. G was a RW in juniors, put him there and see how it works. It can't be any worse.
Still like the mcginn, schenn, Voracek line. Still like gervais. Worried about Timonen. Not bryz's best game tonight and they lost as a result.
Patience homer. Patience. Flyers need those draft picks you want to trade.
