Oh how i wish this could be every week for the rest of the season!

Psych picked up Mase via free agency in fantasy too, so he is reaping the rewards double time here. Probably the main reason he won his last matchup by a wide margin.

Dude, he missed a shot at the net and he had about three acres of room to make the shot, and he fanned on the pass.
He was so pissed he smashed his stick on the ice as he was coming to the bench. And I don't mean broke it in half, I mean that stick was toothpicks....He knew he missed an easy shot!!!

I had my Kenecny 50th jersey, some dude offered me 100 bucks for it....Ummmmmm no!!!!

So my question is, which guys get the scoring???
The first one or first two at each position???

At least I had one good pick up.....

Another win without Couts we are getting deeper by the minute.

All stats from skaters and goalies count for each time that they play, unless they are on your bench. These teams are so large that often you'll have to decide who to bench and who to play.

I think your top five forwards are probably as good as anyone in the league has. I mean McDavid, Ovechkin, Benn, Wheeler and Kesler. The top three are world beaters and Kesler/Wheeler are having very strong seasons.

I have to mention this too. That game winner by Raffl last night was a highlight reel goal and the kind of solo skill/effort that you only see from maybe the top 20 or 30 forwards in the Nhl.

So, this brings me to my next question. We've got him on the top line with Giroux and Voracek, why on earth is the guy on neither of our power play units!? We're using guys like Cousins and Weise on the second unit over Raffl. Something isn't right about that.

I mean, Cousins and Weise have a combined 5 goals in 46 games. Raffl has that in 18 games. Give the man some power play love. Our second unit is terrible anyway without Couturier and Read. Bulk it up, for God's sake.

And without Gudas......

You can put Read on IR and activate Eichel. You didn't start Barkov tonight either.

They say Read is out four weeks, so we're down another man, but Gudas is supposedly returning tomorrow night.

Lots of exclamations for a guy that scored 1 goal in last 22 games. Leier was called up.

Excited to see what Leier can do. He's having a great season for the Phantoms.

First the exclamations were put there to signify that "another Flyer regular" down for weeks

Second watch the games more closely and you would notice Read does a lot of things on the ice that help us compete at a higher level other than score and a side note hes hit at least three posts in the last 22 games an inch to the right or left and he has 9 goals in 27 games.

At this point I'm not sure why Weise is still dressing. I think he's had like 2 productive shifts this season. He just looks like he's drifting along out there not really doing much of anything. He's not making a ton of mistakes that kill them, but he brings absolutely nothing.

Read is nothing special as a 3rd liner. Leier will come in an fill his role seemlessly.

Lots of ifs in the last part...

Weiss doesn't do much of anything lucky he came cheap.

Well see i hope you're right but we've had Leier come up numerous times already only to be sent back down.

Leier has been playing outstanding for Lehigh Valley this year and is still 22. I doubt a drop in play from Read to Leier will be noticeable. There is a reason he was recalled and Laughton sent back.

Like i said i hope you're right but we've seen this story before.

 

[Maverick426h]

Despite his scoring dropoff, Read has been a solid player for us all season long. He kills penalties, hustles constantly and wins a lot of battles out there. He's not necessarily way better than the next guy, but we will miss him for sure.
