What does that mean? High flip? If so, I like that, but I might try to land it right at the feet of one of their D and just when the puck gets their plow him. Sure, you'd get a charging penalty but not an interference penalty.

I think the strategy here should be: send 2 guys full speed toward the TB end, one guy hangs out in the neutral zone in case it goes wrong, and the D-man with the puck skates to the Flyers blue line and BLASTS IT at the closest TB player. I'd say ankle-high is about right, but a few up around the ears would incent a behavior change I think. If it's Coburn shooting, chances are that the puck misses buddy and heads down the ice for a potential icing - but with our 2 forwards at full speed and the TB D-man stationary still, we should avoid the icing. If it connects, the puck is gonna bounce. But the 3rd forward stays home to defend.

LOL!

UPDATE: OHL commissioner David Branch suspends Niagara's Tom Kuhnhackl 20 games for head shot on Ryan Murphy. Per TSN on Twitter Wow.

No kidding @flyerrod, and that was Biron in goal there!

@Mad Dog, well it was prolly written some time ago and if you look at how it's phrased, it's saying relative to the rest of his talents. This gets repeatedby enough people, throw in a bout of Mono and presto: "he's a terrible skater" comes out the other end. Compared to his puck smarts, vision and positioning, his skating is average. And that's a good thing!

Against the Rangers the other night the Jets had all five guys in the crease, along with the five Rangers. Never seen anything like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zton8Uu4sW4

....when men were men and sheep were scared

@aziz, yeah, well from ClarkeMustGo.com, which we have discussed before. I found the material I was looking for, but I still want to talk to those guys. Maybe I'll put out another call out, see if any of them are lurking here....

@aziz, are you stealing my material? Or me yours?

It's true, he slows down with the puck. But most players not named Giroux do a little bit. He makes up for it with the rest of his game. I don't think it's a huge liability and you know that they've got him working on his foot speed and pwoer skating...

I actually don't think Couturier lacks speed, at least not once he gets going. He's just not a very pretty skater like Kessel. As one scout said of Cooter, it doesn't really matter as long he gets there

Yeah it was very Downieish wasn't it. I think the Beukaboom IS a relation, but not 100% sure

Check out this hit on highly touted prospect Ryan Murphy from Friday night. Cue the debate on hitting and the pussification of the game of hockey:

That's a helluva read. Those dudes (Flyers Goal Scored By) are out there. My kind of lunatics

Hard to believe no comments on this thread. I, for one, apprecaite these updates.

"hey, look, a fish..." I just noticed this. Interesting, given all the hullabaloo about halibut. Thanks to Digity. And, as much as this pains me, to ruxpin for spearheading what became a mass exodus...

THAT is friggin hilarious. I wish my french was better. Or existent even

I want Kaleta's head on a platter the next time we play them. After we're up 5-1, of course. He is an absolute piece of crap.

I don't see jammer here yet. What's your impression of Hawerchuk as a coach? What year is he in as coach?

Reported!

Yeah, that's the only way to do it NMX. Most boards are like this. The old Philly board was unique in that and many other ways. Glad to see you here btw. I won't be going back to the other board. Made that decision. I won't give those a-holes the satisfaction.

x2 It is appalling.

Now that we are here and there is no nazi censor, can we just call him Cooter?
