Lol I hesitated to include him but supposedly the Panthers want a player to step in and he'd be a vet to help groom the young guys as well as add some cap hit to help them reach the floor

Ok...who would do Vinny- Laughton-Haag-1st for Florida's 1st?? Is that way too little?

Idahophilly = Eklund?

I think Berube needs to juggle the lines a bit. Separate Giroux and Voracek. Voracek has shown he can score when he has the opportunity, so why not have Hartnell-Giroux-Simmonds, and Lecavalier-Schenn-Voracek? Just a thought....

I don't think the Emery supporters are simply CRAZY for considering starting him. Am I just imagining the age old saying about playing the hot goalie until he falters? Once again, IMO, Emery hasn't really performed "lights out" enough for me to say he's the clear cut choice, but those dismissing Emery supporters are being a bit unfair.

It sucks being without Mason, BUT....Emery has been fairly solid. I'm hoping the hockey gods ignore your crying and refrain from making Heeter our starter! Shhhhh!!! haha!

I don't think it's as easy as saying "Mason is the better goalie, play him" when he's healthy. If Emery was playing outstanding hockey, and stole both games with shut outs, you guys wouldn't want to ride that momentum? And what if Mason is still feeling the effects from what we have to presume was a concussion? The only argument for me would be, has Emery played well enough to warrant being called the "hot hand" right now? I'm not too sure...

Wow that was brutal. Especially how Lehtonen's head hit the crossbar after his helmet came off. I missed this game, did he return?

 So don't sign them then.

personally i do agree, i would have liked for a total "rebuild" (if you can call it that) instead of signing Lecavalier & Streit (and unloading a few of the vets last off season, including Hartnell). I really just wished they would have tanked to move up in last year's draft. They could have had Seth Jones. He was right there for the taking!!! -sigh-

flyercanuck, I agree Holmgren has signed some horrible deals, BUT what older player is going to sign for 1-2 years at a time? Not many. They want that security so they don't end up with no contract at 33-34 yrs old and no one wanting to take a chance on them (Gagne?). They want to sign that long contract for some security. I'm just saying it's harder to get a player to sign if they hold the cards (many suitors) such as Briere, Bryzgalov, etc

Kesler? Who's moping and pouting cause he's getting paid millions to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world...

I'm not aware of his reasons for wanting to be traded (or if that is true?) but look at his play on the ice. He was constantly sacrificing himself during the Olympics.

If our situation was different, I would have loved to see Callahan here. Great leader, seems to leave everything on the ice. Same with Kesler, but really no room on this team.

Not bad with those conditions

I think this means one of our regulars is in talks. Meszaros-courier would be most likely but I have a feeling teams are calling for Timo too

And Phantom Matt Mangene

I'd trade timonen for an ok return also. He'd have to go out west. Anaheim? San Jose?

Cal Hester called up by the Flyers....looks like most likely an injury :-(

Come on, he's an old guy who has given heart soul and blood for this team. His paycheck doesnt make him recover any quicker. If a class act guy like Kimmo says he can't play, I give him the benefit of the doubt. Like has already been said, he could be injured. MAYBE he's being shopped to a contender? Hmmm.....

Any opinions on Myers from Buffalo?

 

Remember this?

That video enfuriates me every time I see it. And Caps fans were up in arms about Emery thrashing Holtby?! Barnaby jumped Snow who couldn't even defend himself then gets jumped by Trefilov as the 2nd man in!

Looking for seven tix to flyers vs. rangers on 3/1....anyone know a good website?

Locals broadcasters CAN be biased. They're catering to the local fans. Imo, the NBC team sounds like they're broadcasting from a Pens fan perspective. I think that's what the original poster's point was. By focusing on Letang's mistake, you're taking away credit from the Caps player. (I didn't see the game so I'm not saying it was true or not in this particular instance)

Well then take the Orpik concussion and don't cry.

I definitely admit it was wrong and deserving of a suspension.I do agree with many others however that the inincident would've been avoided had Orpik fought when it happened. Even Claude Lemiuex would sometimes drop the gloves and at least turtle.
