If you want to argue that Flip is inconsistent, that's fine. But you can't even argue (let alone prove) that when he is on, he couldn't be a first line center on any team. Let alone a second line center. He wouldn't be the best, but he could do it and pick up at least 1 PPG over a season (when he is on).
-
8 the last 9 for Fil, 6 game point streak.
-
Oh come on, the kid is raping the league right now. He is far and away the best player offensively this year. Give credit where credit is due.
-
To you, every goalie in the league looks better than any and all goalies the wings have, have had or ever will have. In fact, that probably goes for the skaters too.
-
And nothing ever will.

Third line center. * With no offensive instincts, according to gcom.
-
gcom, you continually say that we should split up Z and Pav, yet each of the past three years, we ended the playoffs with Z and D being put back together after trying them split up. What does that tell you? Our team is best when they are together, period.
-
I think an answer to this would be pretty rad.
-
Tatar and Miller should be switched. A line with Draps and helm will be a great defensive line, but is doomed to not score. At least load up on the third line.
-
I think it's about time for Flip to have a 3 point night.
-
Everyone, Sid was proud to play in the winter classic, despite the loss. I assume everyone else on the Pens was not.
-
So you would admit that he USED to be a second line forward, but at 26 is now past his prime?
-
If you only want to count playoffs teams, then wouldn't playoffs stats be the perfect comparison...? Also even ignoring the facts that his playoff production damn near puts him in the first line category, let alone the second line category. I don't think you're the one to be throwing around insults here.
-
Oh, you want to talk about playoffs? Fun! Last year in the playoffs, Flip was 23rd in points per game among centers and 50th among all forwards. And in 2009, it gets even better! Filppula was 39th in points, among ALL forwards and 19th among centers. And this is playing half of the games on the third line. In 2008, he was 32nd among centers and 74th among all forwards. And this is one year removed from his rookie season. You'd be real dumb to dog Flip on his playoffs performance.

Crosby, Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, Mark Messier, etc
-
Time will tell.
-
Don't look now, but Filppula has 6 points in his last 7, and only 30 centers in the NHL have more goals than him, and only 38 with more points. That is almost like above average second line center area.

Crazy keep in by Filppula. Boy, if you watched him, you might think he's really good! Fortunately, we have stats to tell us the entire picture, because the stats never lie. -
Zetterberg - Not Filppula Datsyuk - Not Filppula Lidstrom - Not Filppula Cleary - Not Filppula Franzen - Not Filppula Bertuzzi - Not Filppula Rafalski - Not Filppula Kronwall - Not Filppula Holmstrom - Not Filppula Eaves - Not Filppula Stuart - Not Filppula Hudler - Not Filppula Helm - Not Filppula Ericsson - Not Filppula Abdelkader - Not Filppula Modano - Not Filppula Salei - Not Filppula Miller - Not Filppula Draper - Not Filppula Filppula - Filppula!
-
When we're healthy I think Eaves should take Bertuzzi's spot on the second line. It needs another player that hustles shift in shift out. Bert floats. ZDH Eaves Filppula Franzen Hudler Modano Cleary Bert Helm Abdelkader
-
Eaves is awesome.
-
The wind only works on Datsyuk. Proven facts, here.
-
I think the REAL question is, will Filppula's?

And this isn't taking into account how dead his line was when Franzen and Bert weren't doing s***. Yeah eva, Flip love! -

Kronwall is the 19th defenseman in scoring.
