2013 Philadelphia Flyers Shortened Season Thread

[BigEd76]

Talbot is out for the season with a broken leg

[ice grillin you]

for some unknown reason the flyers just traded for clowe

[ice grillin you]

harry z to anaheim

[BigEd76]

for Jay Rosehill.  Cool, another goon

[BigEd76]

Homer called Buffalo about Vanek.  They want a young forward that is already in the NHL (i.e. Couturier), another prospect and a 1st-rd pick for him.  If he could stay healthy, I'd consider it, but they can't give up a top 10 (5?) pick for him

lose out.....draft jones...amnesty breezy

anything less than that is unacceptable

[Rome]

Not gonna happen, can't happen, agree.

ive spent my morning watching every fight jay rosehill he has ever gotten in...let me tell you if this cat gets real playing time flyer fans are going to love him...i cant recall the last time ive seen someone where every fight they get in just about is action filled long and wildly entertaining....kid does not believe in holding on and has an unbelievable chin that he will stick out there at will...he throws and he throws wildly...and he doesnt seem to concerened with not allowing his opponent to do the same....hes def not a defensive fighter...he can also go really well with either hand which you dont see often...and because he switches hands so often many of his fights end up being off balance craziness

the bad part is he is so wild that most of his punches miss...they also miss because he has what appear to be really short arms...that the only reason i can come up with as to why so many of his shots never reach their intended target....he also doesnt seem to have any punching power...

anyway here are some of his battles

flyers acquired steve mason.....hopefully he battles for the starting goalie position next year that is opened up by breezys release

[BigEd76]

Leighton and a 3rd to Columbus

Maybe a change of scenery will help Mason but he hasn't done anything since winning the Calder

[rjs246]

Since his rookie year Mason has been poop, but I like this as a low risk move. They give up basically nothing and get an experienced kid with (maybe) some talent for when Bryz is gone. If nothing else, he's a much better backup than Boucher or Leighton.

[ice grillin you]

how mason does is irrelevant.....this means breezy is gone!!!!

[rjs246]

Not to state the obvious or anything, but they still need someone to stand in the crease and stop shots. Getting rid of Bryz is great, but only accomplishes anything if they actually improve their goaltending in the process. (Cap considerations not withstanding.)

they are going to have a zesty goalie no matter what...clearly they need to find a long term solution there (again) but short term the only thing that matters is getting rid of breezys contract...now they will have a zesty goalie who is a free agent instead of a zesty goalie signed thru year infinity

its a huge accomplishment to get rid of that deal...the minute the amnesty clause was announced it became a dream scenario for the team

[Rome]

Flyers finally get the lead then lose it in 20 seconds.

JUST END THIS.
