boston lost and no one got hospitalized. amazing

7-3 final

be a good one to skip, since the hawks are 22-6-5

It's been agreed to and added to the cba, so if a team wants to exercise there right to using 2 buyouts, that is there business.

Well they might. If the team will come out from behind the net with the puck this yr. lol

Well said... Raffl can skate but that is about it... too easy to get off the puck IMO but rather see him in the lineup rather than Rosehill. 

 

How can TB fans boo VLC?  It was not his decision to leave...   It was the franchise that gave him his walking papers was it not?

I agree. Mcginn would be a better choice than raffl. I don't think they will boo vinny. Didnt tampa have some scheme to buy him out and then get him back from the leafs somehow?

 - I hope raffl does more than miss the net with every shot he takes.

- tampa better not punch our players when they are down, like last time

That's funny, trade our best prospect. 38 pts in 22 games, named the captain of the superseries. No way I would trade laughton.

Rosehill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delete it then if you don't like it. rumors are rumors.

This is from March, but regardless it's interesting.

http://www.insiderrumors.com/2013/montreal-canadiens/flyers-had-offer-sheet-on-the-table-but-subban-never-signed/

A source close to P.K. Subban advised me that the Canadiens`defenseman had an offer sheet on the table from the Philadelphia Flyers, while he was still an un-signed restricted free agent.

My source is not aware of the exact terms proposed to Subban, but he was told that the offer was for more than 5 years. What remarkable and absolutely shocking about this is how long this remained unknown by the public and media. In fact, PK kept this secret for a very long time, and my source explained me the reason.

I have been informed that the offer was put on the table around the 20th of January by Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. Subban did not sign the offer sheet, as he requested additional time to meditate and negotiate with the Montreal Canadiens. PK had his mind set on staying in Montreal; this being said the offer sheet remained on the table.

When Subban’s camp informed the Flyers that the likelihood of PK signing above the dotted line was small, but not null, Holmgren told Don Meehan (PK’s agent) that the offer will remain on the table. He also asked, if possible, to deal with this matter with the highest possible level of discreteness. Flyers had previously gotten Preds’ Shea Weber to sign an offer sheet in the summer, and Holmgren did not want to further cement his reputation as “the bad guy” in front of other GMs. Signing restricted free agents to offer sheets is legal, but frowned upon; it’s considered a “dirty” practice.

Of course, Habs brass were notified of the situation, but this was kept secret and surprisingly, hasn’t been leaked…until today. PK ended up re-signing in Montreal and the Flyers were left empty handed; one source in Philly confirmed the story after I took the oath of protecting her identity. She also told me that the Flyers had engaged in trade talks with the Montreal Canadiens for Subban’s services, but to no avail.

In the end, PK took a lot less money from the Habs than what was being offered by the Flyers. This speaks a lot about PK’s character and his love for the Canadiens organization and the city of Montreal. This also speaks volumes about Marc Bergevin, who remained adamant on offering PK a 2 year “bridge” contract despite Damocles’ sword hanging above his head.

Again, this story has been confirmed to me by 2 top sources, one in Montreal and one in Philly. Most of PK’s current teammates are even unaware of this situation.

It was so weird watching the Rangers and Pens play last night.

there weren't 10 guys clogging the space in front of the net, guys taking passes while they were on the move, guys breaking out of the zone with other guys available for support. guys capable of skating the puck out of the defensive zone, effective power plays, maybe they didn't score but they sustained a presence in the offensive zone. 

 

compared to the suckfest that was 'canes flyers is was like watching the difference between Atlantic League baseball and Major League baseball.

uncanny.

I wish I watched that game, looked good on the highlights. Maybe the flyers should watch it and take some notes!!

I think straight up would be a terrific deal for the Habs.

 

@habsguy26

 

That's the deal.   If you don't like it..........  :blink:

and they would still lose in round one to boston.

I don't think The Flyers will get him if that is what it takes. But if he is not happy in Montreal then some other team WILL get him.

g and luke?? That's funny.

Nope! I don't want that cancer. And I still think he didn't deserve the Norris. Letang outplayed him last season hands down.

Were you a fan of matt cooke when he was a pen?? What about kasparaitis? ulf samuelsson?

Always said he's a douchebag. Can't stand the guy.

.........unless he was on your team.

So far the only thing the flyers do for me effectively is act as a sedative.

lol. I know that. The question is what would the flyers give up?? Answer anyone that speaks french.

who do we have left that speaks french?

Brodeur and Thomas leading the way for the panthers!!

What "needs" to happen to move Mesz is some injuries to other teams' defensemen. Flyers may have to retain some salary for it to happen as well.

 

Getting anything for him would be better than having him walk for nothing.

I think injuries to other teams are inevitable. We might as well retain some salary if that is what it takes, they throw enough $$ around, what's another 2 million??

@Leach27

 

you'd play him out of position then ?

how's that help anything ?

He's to good for the OHL, so how is that helping? He has developed as much as he will imo. But in the end The Flyers will probably keep him there, he never should have been sent down in the 1st place. But on the +'ve side I get to go watch him play (10 min from my place) for about $20.00/ticket.

Not the 4th line. I'd take Laughton over Michael Raffl

True. Although there is always something going on in Philly.
