It will be interesting to see when Gus comes back because they'll have to make some moves on defense... Either MAB is sent back down, Walker gets waived, or Lilja gets waived. If I were a betting man, I would guess they send MAB down, even though I think that's the wrong move.

My guess is Gus goes down. He'll need some time to get back in shape.

Oz,

Glad I am not the only one who picked up on the chubby kid bawling his eyes out. Is it wrong that I laughed my ass off when I saw it?

Maybe the girl in the Flyers gear next to him punched him in the head, she has a look of satisfaction. Look at the stare from the mother...she looks pissed!

I believe the cap hit only remains when the player is over 35 and signed that deal after he turned 35.

The cap hit remains if the contract begins after the player turns 35. Example: Chris Pronger. He signed his contract extension when he was 34 but it didn't kick in until after he turned 35. His cap hit remains for eternity (OK, only 7 yrs.).

In the tool bar at the top of the page. It's also in Digity's sig.

Here's hoping the fans boo the roof off and Jagr shuts them up with the hattie.

Show them what they're missing.

Statisticians also know how to pull out numbers to prove their point.... Any point.

Are you saying that statisticians are statistically inaccurate?

If you stop the show at 16:47, right when Mezaros scores his goal, you can see me jump out of my seat in the background. I'm wearingthe orange Flyers jersey. Alright, it was more like just standing up because theseats were a little tight. :unsure:

Those songs are pretty cool and all, but this is the sweetest sound of all.

He saved twice as many as he let in. What more can you ask for?

The league asked them to kiss and make up.

"The league investigated the incident and spoke to both parties involved but in the end asked that Ott and Laviolette speak to each other over the phone to hash it out, a source told ESPN.com."

Another player who didn't know he had a concussion until days later.

Would be nice if we can grab him. He's young and locked into a great contract. Not sure if he's a crease clearer as I rarely see him play. Would 2 1st rd pick, Jvr and Carle be too much? I would try to keep Carle and replace him with any of the rookie Dman. Who would you prefer? Weber/Suter or Yandle.

I don't get it. Yandle is the same player as Carle. Two 1st rd picks & JVR is WAY WAY WAY over paying to trade Carle For Carle.

If it was Carle for Yandle straight up, the only advantage would be the money saved on the cap.

They're pretty slow updating that site. It still show the US game hasn't started even though it's in the 2nd period already.

I remember you saying you know one of the Latvian kids. What's his name?

I'm trying to find a recap of the Latvian game, but can't. Anyone got a url or site?

Game isn't over yet. Look here:

This is a better list. Unfortunately, not one Flyers prospect listed. How does that happen?

I've been looking for a comprehensive list of players drafted by NHL teams playing in this tourny and have not been able to find one.

I thought I found one, but it only has the Canadian kids' draft status. Look in the middle column, half way down the page.

http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/

I'm from the US, but I got a little watery around my eyes, watching those young Canadian players sing Oh Canada.

Allergies?

Not to change the subject, but are there any Flyers prospects playing in the tourney?

@Vincent05

He seems so...how shall I put it....sane?

Q: What has Bryzgalov taught you?

A: I will not reveal all the secrets. It’s in between us goalies. We have our own language, But seriously, Ilya has told me stories about life and hockey.

Sane? That will probably change!

@Vincent05

Thanks. It looks like the last sentence there allows the Flyers to send them down.

Not too sure but it might be just for trades.

It also includes all waiver moves. It's buried somewhere in the CBA, but I think the only move allowed is a call up on emergency basis. Probably a moot point since the Flyers don't play again until the 27th, but Sestito can not be sent down until the freeze is over.

Tom sestito told in the locker room by holmgren that he's being sent back to adirondack. #merrychristmas

Umm...This doesn't sound right. There's a roster freeze in effect until the 27th. Why would Homer tell the kid 4 days before he can actually make the move??? Especially after the way he's played??? Just doesn't pass the sanity check.

I don't have a problem with Rinaldo, only problem is he's in the box atleast once a game and that drives me nuts as we have Briere or Hartnell already taking dumb penalties each game. We don't need a parade of players there, if he cleans it up, I will be OK with him.

I have to stick up for Hartnell here. He only has 39 PIMs so far this year. I'm pretty sure 25 of those are from fights. He has really cleaned up his game, only 7 minors. He's helping the team more than hurting this year.

The difference is, Thomas was hurt. I hope Bryzgalov ends up being worth it. I just never was a fan.

No one knew that Thomas was hurt till the season was over and he had surgery. Everybody thought he was the one hit wonder.

I'm not insinuating that Bryz is hurt, just saying that maybe this is just a down year for him. I'm with you. I hope he turns it around.
