BOYNTON GIVES FLYERS INSURANCE AND A FAMILIAR FACE
…I really like the Boynton pick-up. If someone’s hurt, there’s a more than viable option in Boynton to step in and save the day. He’s won a Cup, and he’s played solid in the process. He showed last year that he can come out of the press box in the most important part of his team’s season and play strong defensively on the ice. Not to mention, he’s a beast. I’m anxious to see him play a little before the season’s over.
FLYERS’ MIKE RICHARDS CRITICIZES COACHES FOR POWER PLAY CHANGES
…When the powerplay is struggling, that’s obviously going to frustrate everyone. The two units that Whyno says are the finalized groups in this piece sound good to me. I would personally like to see Versteeg play a little more on the man advantage, but if I know Lavy is all about making his players earn their stripes and Steeger still has yet to do that.
Regardless, they need to get it together on the PP, because it could prove to be their undoing come playoff-time if they continue to suffer with the man advantage.
