If Boucher froze the puck, the Flyers change players and the slash doesn’t happen. There were several mistakes before the slash. So you cannot put the game on JVR.

Cause he should cover TWO men? Geez, Hartnell can’t stay on his feet, Briere can’t cover ONE man, but JVR is responsible for covering TWO men?

Yes

If you have one guy who can’t stay on his feet and one who can’t cover one man, then some people are going to have to cover two.

No, he should cover his POSITION instead of slashing at players skating past him.

by MarioD on May 1, 2010 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

No. JVR is supposed to cover his guy, which is what Savard was. Hartnell and Briere being allergic to defense did not help.

so if that’s the case what other options do they have….he’s definitely struggled with the load…40 to 80 games increase in a speed endurance contact sport is a bad idea, but I thought by this point it was a issue of no available players. I couldn’t blame him as much as the trainers and coaches who doubled a load of this magnitude on an unprepared athlete. If he’s the reason then the fault ultimately lies elsewhere.

by j reed on May 1, 2010 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well honestly, I don’t think JVR should have ever been on the Flyers this year.

I don’t blame him.

I blame Laviolette. JVR shouldn’t have been in the lineup since mid-February.

by MarioD on May 1, 2010 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

without getting into to it, when muscle gets fatigued the load gets transfered to the connective tissue…just the tremendous sheering forces on the pelvis alone from skating alone could damage tendons and ligaments which sets an athlete up for injury plague career. So is there a call up at this point or is the roster set?….probably a little late to introduce new blood into the chemsitry anyway

by j reed on May 1, 2010 4:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

There are guys that were called up that could be used but they can not call anyone else up.

The healthy forwards on the roster are

Laliberte
Cote
Kalinski
Maroon

Any one of them that can actually skate around the ice and play in their designated position would be a welcome replacement for JVR.

by MarioD on May 1, 2010 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

I disagree on Cote. You can’t think a guy who averages about 3 minutes to come in and replace a guy who plays 18-20. Laliberte would be fine with me.

1) That man already beat him
2) It wasn’t a “cheap” penalty. He would up and took a two handed axe-chop at the dman’s skates while he was staring at the number on the back of the Bruins’ jersey. It was a terrible terrible play.
3) He should’ve been off the man so the pass couldn’t go slot area, where Savard stood all alone because JVR wasn’t there.

by MarioD on May 1, 2010 3:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

one of the cheap "slashing" penalties we all bitch about

Just watched again on TV.

That is not a cheap penalty. The stick wasn’t broken at all. The call came because JVR slashed him across the hand and waist, causing the stick to go flying. But it wasn’t even a broken stick. It was just a moronic penalty.

Please. JVR did not cost them the game.

Briere passed to Boucher because he wanted the puck frozen. Boosh kept the puck in play. Alll of the Flyers were running around, not just JVR.

actually one was because boosh wanted to keep the play alive and clear the zone instead of cover. he had the chance that wasn’t on danny, at least not for the pass back anyway

Yeah, two goals on Danny, one on miscommunication in the defensive zone, started by Danny, played by Boucher, failed clear by… whoever.
