    This season goes as far as Vladar takes it. If he continues this level of play they will make the playoffs. Lack of skilled center depth and scoring from the defense will kill this team in the playoffs though. Regardless of how good Vladar is.

    At least in the playoffs, you know Vladar is going to get the games. A lot depends on matchups, but it’s still a ways away.

    They also need to use Ersson so Vladar doesn’t tire. Around 54 games should be the max for Vladar. That’s 2/3 of the starts.

    That seems about the balance they’re going for. Pretty common distribution of starts between 1 and 2 Gs. I would expect Ersson gets BUF tomorrow, Vladar gets the Rags Saturday. That will be an important Metro game, but the Rags stink this year.

    The most games Vladar has ever played in a season is 30, last season in Cowtown, playing 54 games would be a huge stretch in my opinion. He’s already at 20 though.

    I wonder who will do the radio for the next two games?

    We should all mute the TVs and listen to the radio feed for a while when Saunders returns. Due to no Hulu, I listened live. Fedoruk is a broadcasting hero. Incredible situational awareness.

    Second game in a row where the Flyers left points on the table against inferior opposition. 1 out of 4 points where they should really be beating their opponents and taking at least 3 there. Playing down to their competition again. They let Penarin and Zibanejad beat them yesterday. It’s all the Rags have really. Even bad teams have very good players in this league. Goalie depth is their biggest issue now over scoring depth. Ersson has not been hood the last two games after putting together a stretch where he was winning, however imperfectly. They can still score enough to win games.

    lol. their is no such thing when you look at the eastern conference.

    must have missed it when the flyers became an elite team.

    Never said they were an elite team, said the exact opposite. Just said they’re better than the bottom dwellers.

    buffalo is open for business. Any deal for Dahlen or Tage would have to include MM or Martone. Seeing the path the flyers are taking both should be available. If dahlin and Tage have no trade clauses can’t see them waiving for buffalo south.

    Byram and Power you can probably put a decent package together.so can 30 other teams.

    Buff wants the playoffs as well; doubtful they want a futures package. Also, Leary about bringing in players who know nothing but losing and kind of accepted it. they would fit right in with TK sanheim and ex selke.

    The Flyers are only 3-3-4 in their last 10. .500, not good enough. A win tonight and the go 4-2-4 in the last 10, .600 hockey. Much better with the next four games vs. inferior opponents. Pivotal game. Vladar starting is good news.
