2011-12 Flyers Season Thread: Now With Less Alcohol!

[ice grillin you]

probably not a good example to use

[SunMo]

sure it is, unless you've made up your mind about him like i know you have.

the point is the kid gets called up and plays two games on the 3rd line, and i think at least part of that on wing.

talk to me after he plays 50 games

[ice grillin you]

sometimes you can just tell

plus the fact that the kings traded the best player not in the nhl for a locker room destroying drunk

Courturier played on the 3rd line and was just drafted and I've seen enough from him to know he's going to be a good player. Haven't seen squat from Schenn to convince me he can make the transition.

So Hartnell hasn't been completely useless on that first line.


Watching CSN, they were interviewing Leino and the stat said he only has 2 points this season? Damn. Didn't he get a good chunk of change?

[SD]

Miller's being pulled and we're not even halfway through the first. I hate Hartnell but the guy is a different player on the first line.

[ice grillin you]

ya think the flyers scouting report said to go high on miller?

[Munson]

Jagr + Giroux = fwap fwap fwap

[Munson]

I don't understand why hockey refs don't get together and confer on calls. Hartnell was clearly pushed into the goaltender, the ref right next to him actually pointed and waved off goalie interference, but then the ref in center ice decides to call it.

Why wasn't there a conference where ref 1 says to ref 2 "no i was right there and he was pushed in, no call"

Reviewing a shootout goal?  A new low...

[ice grillin you]

i wish they had disallowed it so it would have ended sooner....is there anything more painful than watching the flyers in a shootout....it doesnt matter how much the personell changes they alwats suck...its to the point now where i actually get a little excited when the game enters OT because the flyers get a point

and lol at lavie leading off the SO with simmonds

[SunMo]

i'm glad they suck at shootouts since it's a fraudulent ending to the game anyway

[ice grillin you]

it would be a little less fruadulant if they were good at them

[SunMo]

no it wouldn't

it's just a stupid way to end a game.

Apparently Laviolette needed someone new to take out his frustrations on with the drunk boys gone.  JVR was a healthy scratch last night after getting ripped in a team meeting earlier in the day
