the '79-'80 Flyers still hold the record.

Kidding, but not really.

not have the Penguins blow a 2-0 lead.

Paul Martin is playing well.

Orpik, OTOH, and even though he's a +3 on the year, always seems to be the one out of position when we get scored on this year.

That, and really shitty turnovers by our stars in our own end.

Just sloppy and undisciplined, but overall, the kids are alright.

He's actually in position because he isn't chasing hits all over the ice. I think he followed Max Lapierre into the men's room and left Gonchar by himself out there a few years ago. I think the main problem has been "just standing around" syndrome.

Agree on Martin; a complete 180 from last year, and he's living up to the contract.

When I said out of position I should have said a step or two behind his man. It's bound to happen because he's not very fast.

You're right, we're not seeing him come up empty hitting boards in the corners while the puck is in front of Fleury anymore. Which is nice.

Progress? Great success?
