I was not arguing for MORE legislation by the league. Alls I'm saying is that was, and is a total crappy way of playing hockey by Tampa and I have no problem with what the Flyers did (and neither did any anaylist or all the players from around the league who were tweeting - I mean frickin' Milbury walked off the set on live TV disgusted!). So, I don't care if the Flyers or any other team circles in their zone THE ENTIRE GAME. If that's what Tampa fans want then that's what they get and they can win or loose all those 2-1 games they want. All that talant. What a waste! Now, the idea of breaking this trap by getting a huge head of steam up and charging into the zone and probably drawing all sort of penalties and catching them flat footed is worth a major try. However, the NHL DOES have a responsibility to its brand and the game and if this proves to be a problem then I won't fault them for making a new rule for delay of game for trapping. We would have nothing to worry about because we don't trap. And just a side note, if this is so "OK", why don't the other 29 teams use it? They don't! Because they know how to play the game honorably. So, to all those that think it's ok I'll wait and see how you feel when 2 teams are playing 1-3-1 traps at the same time..........

And I DID say it was horrible hockey, that's the point.

Strategy in exposing this crap.

OK, throw the puck behind the net so no one has it but skate around in little circles about 10 foot away until they have to break the 1-3-1... Seriosly can't believe you are even remotly defending this. I don't want more power to the refs but.... Finally a team exposes this crap. ALL 29 other teams don't do this...

Bre, exploit is what Lavi tried and reasonbly successively did. What you saw is probably the best reaction to the 1-3-1 and we see how horrible hockey that is.

If I hear one more person talk about Weber I'll scream! We CAN'T afford him. I think he's making 7.5 mil this year and will WANT a raise. 8.0-8.5 mil??? No way! Not for one player! Let some other stupid team wrap that much up in him. Jeez, people are upset with our 6.0-6.5 mil contracts we have now (or as low as 4.2 mil for hartnell)... Weber at 8.0/8.5 mil means bye bye to some BIG players.

I really don't know. We have no idea of the salary cap raise for next year nor if Jagr will be re-uping with us. Then there are trades (Hartnell) and any number of other un-foreseen possibilities.

That's just it. I'm done posting there but it's like a train wreck! You just gotta look even if you know it's wrong or you might see something gruesome. It's a total pile up of Buffalo, Toronto and Boston idiots in one big orgy of retards with a few people egging them on. If I was a doctor I'd be on that forum real fast to get more mail order prescription patients...

You know bert, I'm not posting over there anymore, just will look. And I just did and there is some seriously WEIRD **** going on now... That forum COMPLETLY imploded ! WOW! And I not sure what you were referring to about Rick's girlfriend but i know nothing of any reference to his girl friend. Daughter yes, just not girl friend. Just an FYI.

It was a joke...

Yeah, he changed the headline from "signed" to "signing" and said he got it from a 'source'... What a piece of work he is.

That's what kills me to. No details?

It's Eklund but it doesn't seem like speculation. It said he signs multi year contract (not that he might and none of that e4 kinda crap).

Anyone know the details yet? This is from hockeybuzz...

Its a good read!

I was trying to figure out for a moment why Jeff carter was popping liver pills... Jimmy Carter... However, his presidency was kinda like Jeff's legacy for the Flyers... Forgetable.

Won't your avatar have to turn around and drop the shorts?

Welcome in Gazoo. Sarsippius, I know, it's a mess over there! Kinda like forum hell. I admit I go check it out, looking for stragglers, busting trolls (even they are almost gone) and to remember how bad it had gotten so to remind me why I like this site as much as I do... and it happened so fast!

Yeah, we'll know pretty quick. But they said they would toss them off immediatly. And they can do it by IP Address...

Should we hold some sort of memorial service for Philly.com? It's a morgue over there. Even the trolls left. We could do it tomorrow night during the game. I can be the MC and start the thread and we can all say something...

That's what I was thinking to. But, then again some people say only "bump" in a response and i don't know what that means...

Yeah, and he is going to be one shot away from breaking the foot again. He's damaged goods...

Oh and I forgot, we havn't even gotten Schenn effectivly into the lineup yet. We may and when he does he'll score some more goals for us also...
