Not like the alternatives are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. he makes some mistakes but is undeniably skilled and helps us get the puck out of the zone more effectively than anyone we have on those pairings.

Hockey5djh Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Problem is that for some ungodly reason the FO/Coaches love Manning and MacDonald. In that same breath I find it almost inexcusable that they keep trotting out players like Filp and Lehtera despite their obvious (and tangible) shortcomings. That said I guess we're in a BS "Trust the Process" phase soooooooo.....when we barely hang onto the second wildcard it will be looked at as a success because we missed the playoffs last season.

EaglesFan5-36-81 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Really like the way our top 2 lines are playing. Giroux-Couturier-Koneckny is just super fun to watch and I'm so happy for Couturier to finally play with skilled offensive players after years of Matt Read being his most accomplished offensive lineage. 70 points in 74 games shows how good he is. TK looks like a future stud as well. And ever since we called up Lindbloom and put him on the Second line, Patrick has looked so much better. Voracek helps because he's a star, but Patrick and Lindbloom are developing nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm6492 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Koneckny has been great, even w/o PP time (Which is just stupid). I really hope we look to move on from Hak, but I doubt it. he was brought in to help the young guys and that appears to be his worst trait.

mm6492 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 We have picks 14 (from blues via Schenn deal) & 19 (our own). Juding by Hextalls history, I thinkw e stay and add more to the organization. And alot of cap room this offseason. heard a rumor he is interested in bringing Flip back which I hope is false. Simmonds had a torn pelvis which led to other injuries. Thought we may move him this offseason, but may be selling at an all time low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 With almost 25 mil in cap room I think we should make a play at Tavares. I know its a long shot and it complicates things with Seattle but imagine lining up a Tavares-Coots-Patrick center trio against Crosby-Malkin-Brassard/Whoever their third center is?

He was CLEARLY hampered by injuries this year and is a 30 goal scorer on the wing. I don't know why we'd move him except for the fact that he's a FA next season but I don't think we have another replacement in house. Also...he's a dumbass for not getting the pelvis fixed when he got injured in Training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Philly's a team on the rise. If they can fix their goaltending and add another good forward or 2 they could be a contender as soon as next yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
