  1. Then why would you add Goldobin without taking out a young forward like MacEwen. Leave Eriksson in with the young group. Not on the fire Green bandwagon, but a questionable call IMO
  2. Have to say this was Benn's worst game. He was an all star with clean / calm passes and solid D play in October, but without a supporting forward crew he seems to be over thinking the game, and making some rookie mistakes out there. Having the ave age of our forwards under 25 with a couple of AHL'ers doesn't help. People can rag on Eriksson but at least his positioning, and defensive work is better than most of our forwards which may have helped calm the storm tonite
  3. #PhillyFrosting Trending on twitter tonight, nothing to do with hockey but....
  4. Not in the middle of a grinding 6 game road trip even if they all deserved it.
  5. Not saying green coach a good game, but he would literally have to bench 2/3 of the team tonight for not putting in 90%. They looked tired and maybe it was a hangover from the thrilling Washington game but this is on the whole group. Fully expect a bounce back game Wednesday
  6. yeah but neither one of those coaches could outshine this hall of fame candidate
  7. Agree they pressured the puck with speed and support way better then we did, but we also lost one on one battles all night, and our passing was poor even when we had the space. will be interesting who is sitting next game
  8. Have to give the flyers and ton of credit here. They're energy would be hard to contain for any team tonight. Looked like us in October.
  9. I think Miller should be centering the 3rd line right now if Sutter still cant go next game. Gaudette to 4th line center just so we can get some balance and maybe win a few more draws. Healthy scratch to our slowest player out there and bring in Baer who's fresh and itching to go.
  10. and players besides Demko got outplayed cant lay it all on the coach IMO
  11. The flyers had momentum for lets see... about 59 minutes. tough one to watch us get beat to almost every puck. we looked tired out there like it was a back to back to back... moving on hopefully with Sutter on Wedneday
  12. 5 minutes ago, Tortorella's Rant said: It would be nice to see Myers score some points. He's on pace for his worst season by a mile Yes, both Myers and Benn are having low productions years so far. Hoping its getting use to the new system and their roles. For Benn I get this but Myers has direct 44 shots on net, 2nd highest of the D core so have to add it up to piss poor luck so far and lack of confidence. the points will come...
  13. Not good and hopefully not long Macewen 4th line centre? Eriksson -Horvat- Pearson maybe......
  14. Agreed , no one touches these guys especially when they get a little punchy. We talk about chemistry on our forward lines. Well these guys are the Sedins of play by play and colour work in Canada.
  15. Have been wanting to see the Myers and Stecher swap. Stecher was good with Edler last year, and Myers needs a defensive guy like Benn to hopefully bring he offensive game to the right level while being protected in the D zone. The forward lines look like a well blended smoothie. Would still like to see Baer in the lineup to add some skill in the top 6. Eriksson should go to Utica right now so he is not a distraction on or off the ice, and we leave Macewen up as a spare or on the 4th when Roussel steps back in. In the end if everyone ups the work ethic 50% from Dallas we should bring this one home!
  16. How about Mike Keenan and Messier as his assistant. I feel Eriksson would thrive under these guys....
  17. Eriksson talk is just beating the dead horse over and over. it is what it is. Looking forward to focusing on the other 18 members playing tonight as they are our future.
  18. Beagle is Horvat's best friend right now, taking a ton of pressure off of faceoffs and the PK. expect to see Bo come out with a strong game feeling energized Would like to see Gaudette tested on the PK and lots of time with Malholtra fining tuning his draws as well with Sutter out right now. 4-2 canucks!
  19. Bieksa would have done a much better job. He has a new career if he wants it
  20. Have we found our needed top 6 guy in Gaudette? We know he's Top 6 in the NHL for goal Celly's!
