  1. That was an incredibly tough game to watch. It got ugly quick too...
  2. Bold prediction for a team that is playing like they've lost their direction...
  3. @bunnyman I want to get a Jofa VM eventually.
  4. @phlfly No, I am not related to Valeri Kharlamov. Wish I was though! I have his name on the back of my jersey because I liked him as a player. No different than people who have Crosby or Ovechkin on the back of their jerseys.
  5. A few more photos of me at practice. This time I wasn't in net.
  6. 6-2 Pens. The Flyers have been playing atrociously this year. I'd be lying if I said I believed they had a chance at beating the Pens.
  7. LMFAO this just made my day! Couldn't be further from either.
  8. @Bartmega Their season is over. Bottom 5 finish for sure in the entire league.
  9. @bunnyman Yes, exactly. I still have many years left to improve!
  10. @bunnyman Oh no doubt there. Luckily when I play out I never need a cage on my helmet. I don't wear a visor either.
  11. In all honesty, this trading scenario for Philly is getting messy. Hopefully they get a high draft pick next year and make some good use of it. And if they do get a player don't wait a year and trade him away because he isn't producing 50 goals in a season as a rookie. Gotta give them time mature and get into the swing before they get to putting up good numbers most of the time. I agree with iban3z though, it would be another classic "we need a cup now" mentality that hasn't produced squat. Honestly, until management starts seeing the franchise as needing to be rebuilt over a period of a few years instead of always trying to win it within the current year without planning then not much is going to change.
  12. Oh boy, Yakupov? He's interesting. He could turn out to be a diamond in the rough or just another piece of coal with his questionable work ethic...I almost wouldn't want to take the risk on him though.
  13. @goalnut3133 Yeah, there are some major upsides to being 21 lol. I can improve my speed, endurance, agility, and balance a lot more at my age. I plan on enjoying it for a while!
  14. @bunnyman Yep, that HM30 cage was very difficult to find, I made a steal on that one for about $60 I think, most of those HM30 "cat's eye" cages are becoming hard to find and when you do find them they are expensive.
  15. @bunnyman The cage is actually a Bauer HM30.
  16. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?hdpid=49&id=454955〈=en Amazing goal on October 8th, 2013 by Tomas Hertl!!!
  17. @iban3z Exactly! What the Blackhawks management did is the perfect example of how to go about creating a championship caliber team. Philly's management could learn a lot by just looking at what they did. But as you said they are too stubborn and stuck in this mentality of "we need a cup now but screw the planning" phase. Nobody ever wins cups without taking a few years to get some bright younger players on the team, getting the chemistry to develop between the players, and then finally after all the players have matured, hit their stride, and developed teamwork together will you then even have a shot at Lord Stanley.
  18. Very nice entry. Interesting to see a break down of why the Flyers have been so ineffective in recent years. Just look at the Blackhawks, they built there team up very well through smart trades and draft picks. Now they have their 2nd cup in 4 years. Clearly, the Flyers could learn something from what they are doing over in Chicago. Because of Chicago management's patience in building their team, they have made the Blackhawks a very potent contender for the cup for many years to come. As you mentioned the Flyers aren't just going to win the cup one year by accident. You have to build the team up for a couple of years through the draft and smart trades. As you mentioned this would require patience which the Flyers' management is clearly lacking. Makes you really wonder just how long it will take for their management to get the hint that almost nobody tries building a team in one year and suddenly has a shot at the cup.
  19. All I gotta say is when I first stepped onto the ice last week I was huffing and puffing and really just out of gas on the ice when I skated out. This morning I stepped onto the ice and I had tons of energy, knotted two goals! Very impressed with how in such little time my endurance has increased dramatically.
  20. Love it...love everything about it. Good solid win by Detroit.
