  1. 82? I think you mean 738 games plus playoffs, maybe he plays 540 of those and thats averaging 60 per year. I do not look forward to watching him play in that many games.

    Hey Vince! Looks like I was completely wrong on this one!!! How many beer do I owe you??? lol

  2. I don't care if the goalie is crazy or sane. I just want him to stop the puck. Bryzgalov just isn't doing that enough. I really don't care who's a great interview with the media or who tells them to GFY. If they play as well as they can, that's all I want. I haven't read any great quotes from Simmonds, but he's been throwing so e good checks and scoring goals, so I like him. Bryzgalov seems more concerned with being a media darling than doing his job.

    Simmond's doesn't seem to get a lot of interviews, agreed?

  3. http://bleacherrepor...multiple-trades

    Well, it seems as though the Philadelphia Flyers have seen the light a bit.

    After the absolute beatdown the Boston Bruins handed to the Flyers Saturday afternoon in South Philadelphia, or as Kimmo Timonen described it, "a good old fashioned butt-kicking," it appears that it has been the Flyers' intention to make a trade to round out their defense, even before Chris Pronger was ruled out.

    If you believe the multiple reports, including Eklund's, it seems as though the Flyers know it's just a matter of time before they have to pull the trigger on a trade. Eklund seems to think there will be two trades. One for a "5/6 defenseman" and another bigger trade at the deadline for a player like Shea Weber.

    I can't say I disagree. I think the Flyers are on the same page with what I've been writing for a few weeks now. Philadelphia simply cannot rely on their rookies down the stretch. Yes, their play has been good, but come playoff time, half of these guys have no experience.

    Ek believes that the Flyers will go for a guy like Tim Gleason from Carolina—someone who I wrote that the Flyers might target in an article a few weeks back. You can check that article out here.

    The one thing I disagree with, however, is that it will only be two moves. I believe the Flyers make a total of three moves, unless Claude Giroux suddenly gets better and his symptoms vanish.

    Even though the Flyers have a ton of offensive depth, I still think they will make a move, even if just a minor one, for another forward. I don't expect a Bobby Ryan, as that isn't their glaring need at this point, but I do think Holmgren will look into some possibilities at forward.

    For another good read on the Flyers and Weber, check out Eric Engels' piece here. Eric makes a good point. He cites last year's disappointing playoff performance and attributes it to missing "a Pronger-like presence," and I couldn't agree with him more.

    It remains to be seen what the Flyers will do, but I don't expect them to sit pat at the deadline this year, that's for sure. The Flyers want to win now, and that's why they've made these bold moves. They will continue to try to improve, and it won't be long before the dominoes start to fall.

  4. what is it you want people to do? gnash teeth and wail at the injustice? no one did anything wrong here; we all hope this is as minor a situation as possible and giroux comes back quickly (but not too quickly). what more do you want?

    @aziz.

    I want you to throw fits and rage and post like winded tirades like you did on philly.com.
