The bottom line is that there isn't a single d-man on the habs that would make the flyers better. There is a reason why they are at .500 and the flyers are leading the conference.
How exactly should he have not targeted the head? Lindros' head was very low. Kasper went in for a legal check to the chest area. It just happens that lindro's head was in front of his chest instead of up where it should have been. Steckl was incidental contact. He wasn't even looking at crosby when they hit each other.
Homer said today Pronger is dealing with concussion like symptoms.... At this point we have to hope every team gets some free buyouts this summer. Schenn also out indefinitely with a concussion.
Billy Jaffe is a fucking idiot. He was talking about giroux before the game and was basically like, "is the the fastest skater? no, but he has a good step. Does the have the hardest shot? no, but he knows how to place it. Is he a great passer? no, but he finds his teammates" Or some sh!t like that. That last one is a joke. He is a terrific passer you idiot.
The NHL did with the last CBA. Unfortunately the timing isn't good for the flyers since it would be this summer. No way you can deepsix Bryz already. I would be happy to see a Pronger buyout though.Also highly unlikely though since he was just named Captain.
@aziz Yeah, they are stuck with this contract. The NMC basically makes it an over 35 contract with the exception of if he retires they are free and clear. But the chances of that are slim to none. He is going to be here for a LONG time. Regarding one time buyout window with new CBA, I don't think they buy him out after one season unless he just completely tanks. I would love to see them do that to pronger, but unfortunately I don't see them doing it and they will be stuck with that cap hit for the duration.
There will definitely be a suspension. This is the exact thing that they started all this for. If they don't suspend him for that blatant headshot, they are a bigger joke than we though. For fuck sake, they suspended a Dallas player for barely leaving his feet on a hit.
That's fine. I am just commenting on saying they "better win this one". As if the pens are a pushover. There will be nothing easy about this game. They have the goaltending edge and that has shown time and again to be a big edge.
They still have Fleury in net. He stymies the flyers more often than not. If anything the pens have shown they can do just fine while coping with lots of injuries.
He is fine because leino is a weak Pu$$y. But it was deliberate and he deserves 2 games. These are the exact types of things they are trying to get rid of from the game.
I know every goalie lets in soft goals from time to time, but he lets in at least one a game. They had that with the old goalies that cost $850k a year.
The flyers had to trade Richards though, as it was clear there were issues. If it improves the chemistry of the team, the flyers will be winners for that alone.
