We’ve talked a lot on EOTP about Lars Eller not getting PP time and that’s still true, but there’s another forward who deserves a spot on the top PP unit. Alex Galchenyuk has proven that he deserves to be penciled in for quality PP time. What a beauty of a set-up. Check out that thing of beauty here.
While initially I thought the Prust-Rinaldo tilt was a draw, during the replay I was convinced that the edge goes to Prust. I’m not a huge fan of fighting and even less of a fan of Rinaldo, but I’m glad that Prust is present to dish out the lumps when some idiot wants to spark his team with a fight. Beaulieu can also obviously fill that role, but let’s keep his mitts free of the fisticuffs. I bet Don Cherry just loooves a guy like Rinaldo. Any connections between the Rinaldo fight and the Flyers’ offense are completely fictitious.
A Flyer I do love is Jakub Voracek. I watch him a lot with the Mooseheads and have loved watching his career unfold as he transforms into an elite talent. And of course if any Flyer is going to get on the score sheet it’s going to be him. A ten game point streak. Jerk. Class act, but a jerk.
The Habs killed a 5-on-3 and then almost pulled a Canadiens special by scoring as Plekanec stepped out of the penalty box – Stairway denied.
The second Schenn goal just made the Habs look foolish. There’s a reason why folks cringed at the Gonchar-Gilbert pairing.
