Why did they extend Hathaway and Seeler? This game gave you a good idea why.

When Deslauriers is one of your better looking forwards, well . . .
Lyksell and Eklind showed me nothing, Richard is fast but isn't that skillful and isn't a forechecker like Poehling. Rizzo didn't show much either.
Brink was pretty good, but not good enough to be assured a job.
Desnoyers looks quicker than last year.
Gaucher is an AHL body.
Couts looks healthy, played like a guy with a guaranteed job.

Attard can't play defense, that's why Risto is the 3RHD, the difference between the two was night and day. Same size, but Risto can skate and has a clue.
There's a reason Belpedio is in the AHL.
Bonk was MIA in the 1st period but played better as the game went along.
McDonald was pretty much MIA.
Zamula was decent.

Makineimi didn't embarrass himself, which puts him ahead of Peterson.
Kolosov would be the starter in LHV if he came over, Peterson is just here b/c they didn't want to buy him out after retaining last year and buying out Atkinson.

Thought

No it didn't. You can sign there type to 1/2 year deals. Not 3/4. Defedn to the end.

Also speaks volumes about the Flyers drafting/development, that you like, seeing they have no one to take their spot. Sad and Embarrassing.

Doesn't seem like your boy Eklind isn't getting any long look like you claimed. Played less than 14 minutes.

Desnoyers stinks as he is another one they are not giving a look to as you claim. When Seeler was 26 did you ever say there is a reason why he is in the AHL?

Kolosov should be the starter however we both know that is not set in stone with cement head as coach.

I can't join you on that sir, liv is hot and feminine, don't want ladies who look like they'd happily throw fisticuffs with me lmao

just drop dead gorgeous.

The second half of last season, during a PO push,
Deslauriers played 21 games at 6:52, Brink and Lycksell played over him.
Deslauriers was actually effective in that role, with fresh legs and limited minutes.

Deslauriers definitely was not effective, and he played half the games. That's a lot. More than each of the two listed, despite them both being better players.

You really don't have to defend everything they do. Especially when you're going to turn your back on it the second it's necessary to defend the next regime.

Nic D is an effective at ES to the tune of 27 goals for and 46 goals against.

How anyone can say ND was effective is well....I do not have a word for it.

That is very telling.

 

[C0DITH]

That wasn't a good game, but this Anthony Richard guy has some god damn wheels. Seems like he would be a solid 4th liner with that speed. He's produced in the NHL ok considering how many games/ice time he gets....seems like a better choice than boxing mitts.

Didn't even know this game was taking place.

Any positives?

What were the lines?

Couts was with Foerster and Richard (super speedy guy who didn't bring much else).

Laughton was with Rizzo and Brink.

The other two lines were unnoticeable. I think it was Gaucher with Desnoyers and Deslauriers, and Poehling with Lycksell and Eklind. Could have those lines completely wrong, but they collectively did absolutely nothing.

D pairs were Zamula-Risto, McDonald-Bonk, and Belpedio-Attard.

Any positives?

Makiniemi was the only real positive. He was the goalie for the first half of the game.

Nothing else positive from this game, IMO.
