If you're taking that long to review it say what you were looking at.

JaxBill 6,742 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 @charlieo_conn: So the Flyers going with a Laughton-Giroux-Voracek top line in Couturier's absence, it appears. Lot of line juggling but it looks like he's getting the bulk of that assignment with Couturier missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modogg 4,707 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 real nice to see the Flyers still pressing and not just sitting on the lead. Great to play strong defense, but doesn't mean they have to curl up in their zone. and have to love when guys want to lay a big hit, so they go after 170 pound Farabee.

modogg 4,707 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 a soft goal let up by Hart and a complete defensive breakdown. Let's not act like the Islanders are on fire here. Flyers doing a nice job making mediocre players look great with bad play there last 6 minutes of that period. interference hit on Couturie and picking on Farabee left the Flyers short handed with their forwards, wonder if that had a bigger effect then anyone mentioned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He therefore passed Lindros and Brind'Amour (24) to go 11th in franchise history for post-season goals. Next up? Rick Tocchet (27). #Flyers #NHL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Rudnicki 9,014 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 that's a pretty wild trade. Allen has 1 year left on his deal at $4.35MM and the Canadiens are already paying Price $10.5MM/year. Plus, didn't Allen outplay Binnington this year? EDIT: guess this is mainly about finding money for Pietrangelo for St. Louis and lightening the load on Price but there had to be cheaper options for Montreal than this.

ItsOnlytheRiver 155 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think this trade is really dumb for Montreal. That's a lot of money for your G position. Is above average backup goaltending really worth anything? If Price goes down, it's not like Allen is taking you anywhere any other backup wouldn't unless your goal is to sneak into the playoffs or steal a series. Which, granted, is probably all Price is gonna give this team anyway, but still.... that makes it even more odd. Trading for over-paid backup goalies is a fool's errand, IMO. Perhaps Montreal will be able to flip him for a profit or they want Pietro to stay in STL and not move out East? Or perhaps Jake Allen will be the savior they need.

falguy 1,200 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Who knows what is going on inside the genius GM's mind in Montreal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Brasky 3,444 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Allen only has one year left on his deal and they only have Domi and a few cheap RFAs to sign. I don't think Domi costs much and will probably sign a short term prove it deal if he's not traded anyway, which there is a pretty good chance he is. regardless, they have lots of space. it's not like this was some high risk move. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
