yeah the fans only go to the games when they start doing good...............the flyers sell out almost every night and when we sucked in the 06-07 season we still went to the games
hartnell is a balls-to-the-wall kinda player. he crashes the net and gets pretty cheap goals. for that, he'll be a first-liner for a while. i see him sticking with carter next year even after the lupul-pronger trade. maybe throw giroux (basically a more consistently productive version of lupul with the hands of a god) on right wing...
Personally I'd really like to try out these lines:
Gagne - Briere - Giroux
Hartnell - Richards - Carter
Carter used to play wing in the WJC and I'd really like to see what this a french connection can do over a full season if Game 3 against the Pens was any indication.
you pose a very interesting point...i think wherever the flyers put giroux, he's going to rack up the assists. giroux could potentially put gagne over the 50 goal mark, but he could easily do the same for carter. it will also be interesting to see how briere comes back this season. will he go back to being the producer he was a few seasons ago? if he is, there may be no point in stacking up his line with gagne and giroux. we might need to use him to fill in a third line (possibly centerinng JVR)
also, those two line options basically cripple any chance of having a productive third and fourth line. they might be nice little things to try out (such as carter on the wing, and the undeniable french connection) but i don't see them sticking.
scott hartnell should talk, he was only playing first line cause people were hurt he nows plays third line where he belongs taking dumb penalties, oh wait, isnt philly golfin now?
Don't talk about something you have no facts about. Other than Briere, there wasn't too many injury problems for the Flyers this past season. So that doesn't affect anything at all. Carter, Lupul, and Hartnell's chemistry and statistics were the reasons they played on the first line. And that line used to be the second line, not the third. Stevens doesn't see the lines the way others do, it's all about having depth. Briere & Giroux were on the third line, and they're both capable being top 6.

dude the lupul-carter-hartnell line is nasty and its usually either the 1st or 2nd line depending on who the flyers play
