I disagree with you there. I can understand if you hate Jagr but I do think the 3mil is a great investment for Jagr. He has done everything we can ask of him, playing defense, backcheck and practicing almost all day. That will rub off on the team especially with how many young players we have now. Yes he make bad plays and take lazy penalties but so does the rest of the team. I can live with his mistakes as long as he hustles in all areas of the ice which certain players on this team don't. Not to take anything away from Giroux, he is great but do you see the chemistry between him and Jagr? They know where each other is on the ice most of the time, they compliment each other very well. I don't think anyone on this team right now can do what Jagr has done for Giroux. Too bad we will never find out and I don't want to anyways. I just hope you open up some and enjoy what they are bringing nite after nite to this team right now. Relax and have fun cheering the Flyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homer loves Shelley too much to send him anywhere, lol. It's nice that we have these young players but a shame that they can't stay up because of cap reasons. Hopefully Homer learns better cap management from this going forward.

We will continue to see him make great plays year after year. I do hope he cracks 100 points this year, we haven't had one in a while.

Yep, we never heard Lavy said anything positive about that last year. I don't think the new vetran leaders would let them get in a funk like that but we will find out soon. It's so refreshing to watch post game interviews this year with the players talking to the media instead of being pissy face or 1 word answers.

I agree with you. Both of them needs to get going and hopefully they can get Briere going with them. Would be nice to see a line of JVR/Briere/Schenn. Maybe move Simmonds to 3rd or 4th line. Also when Schenn comes back they need to send 2 guys down to cover his salary, my guest would be Z and Rinaldo so they can keep Gustavsson as a 7th dman.

Didn't Voracek play with Briere and they didn't click? Read and Voracek looks good together with their speed out there so I don't think it's a good idea to break them up right now. Better to try Schenn out with Briere and to see if Schenn fits on our team.

Me either, do not want to get stuck with his contract for the next 10 years with a NTC.

I don't like that line at all, Briere is a finisher that needs someone who can set him up. JVR is in a funk right now, I would like to see Lavy try out Schenn with Briere when he gets back. Maybe they can setup each other? Have Simmonds with them so he can setup in the crease.

This team has the knack for taking stupid penalties since Stevens was coach. We've been hearing Lavy said this since he took over and they still are the same. He needs to DO Something about it. Make the team skate laps if there's over 4 penalties a game, bench some1 if they take 2 penalties.

1st Conference Finals game against Habs few years back. Was first playoff game for me and was a shutout, the building rock that night.

Garbage may be not be a wise choice of word, bad is better. Nah he barely helped them, their PP was bad in the playoffs. He was lucky to be on that team and now is being overpaid.

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/car111114.html Many rumors have suggested that the Hurricanes have been looking to make changes to strengthen the team, although no specific player had been thrown under the trade bus. However, according to Luke DeCock, the Canes might already have an idea on which puck-moving defenseman they could use as trade bait to acquire a top-six forward. Tomas Kaberle, who was acquired during the off-season, has struggled to make adjustments to the new defensive system implemented by Canes assistant coach Dave Lewis. "Desperate to move Kaberle. Would they move McBain? I wouldn't. Need to get a comparable young forward back. Already have those," DeCock posted on his Twitter account. The 33-year-old signed a three-year, $12.75 million contract with the Canes after winning a Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins last June. In 17 games with the Hurricanes this season, Kaberle has tallied four assists. So glad we never got him here. How can a good player just in a few years become garbage?

But constantly giving up more goals then you score won't sell tickets either.

Dude doesn't forecheck or backcheck, all he does is wait for someone to get him the puck to shoot it high and wide.

You are right, he's getting used to the system now and getting the feel of his linemates. If he's playing like this the rest of the year, we raped the Blue Jackets big time for Mr. High and Wide. Glad I don't have to hear that from JJ every game anymore. Also did you see him backcheck too? Jagr's play in all zone is starting to rub off on him too and it's great to see.

Yes he's been playing great on this trip, hopefully Big Bird can keep it up consistently for the year.

It' always sweet and dandy in the locker when you're winning. Remember the last 2 months of last season, it was a miserable place to be. It's great to see new guys like Jagr and Bryz having fun with the media tho.

He is great isn't he. Still happy as heck he dropped right onto our lap. Kinda feels like it makes up for the no.1 pick we lost a few years back. He's looking more and more better than the guy he replace, I can't remember his name lol.

Don't get me wrong, love the hits he makes. He should teach our dman how to seperate the body from the puck. Seems like he plays out of the system to me, always looking for hits instead of playing the puck. If he plays within the game more they might not call penalties on him. Example is last night, the ref close by didn't call the hit a penalty but the ref far away from the play did. Why? He sees Zac skating from far away to line up the guy with a hit, I would think most of them would call that charging because they see him make a bee line to hit the guy. Zac goes out of the way to make hits instead of playing within the game if you know what I mean. As for the penalties, Hartnell and Briere already irk me with bonehead penalties, I don't want another guy adding to that. He will hurt us with the penalties as we are aready the 2nd most penalize team. When he gets suspended, he will take up a roster spot and cap hit while serving it. We are already kinda limited with how the roster is. Also within the past couple season I think we lead the league in player suspension too, so they might not take it easy on us again.

Yes that's a bad call but he doesn't play the puck or you rarely see him play the puck. He's out there looking to hit every time he's on the ice. The league is looking at hits carefully so the refs will call anything borderline or if some1 gets hurt. I can see if he plays like Carcillo but he's not. Having trouble posting with Iphone

I don't like him at all, was happy Carcillo was gone now this kid takes his place. All he does is run around and hits, he has a bullseye on his back and the refs are watching. In every game that I watch he has taken atleast 1 penalty in each game he's played. That is ridiculous to me on top of our other stupid penalties the team takes. I can see him getting a few suspensions if he plays out the year on the Flyers.

He seems OK to me, they're really struggling on the PP. Once the PP gets going again, he will get his points. He did have a semi breakaway that could've been a goal had he control the puck.

It was our no.1 line out there and you can't expect Jagr and Hartnell to play defense for a whole minute. I think Lavy was trying to get them on the scoresheet with the open net but it backfired.

One guy we could've had playing for us now instead of Carle is John Carlson. If you guys remember that was our pick we trade to the Caps for Steve Eminger then we flip Eminger for Carle. He would look good in Orange right now, I don't remember who on the Philly board posted that Carlson was a good player who will crack the NHL soon.

Not on a trade, only if it's on reentry waiver claim.
