I agree with Gagne, bring him back!! He deserves to be here and won't hurt us. It certainly sounds to me like he's willing to take what he can get to be here and RETIRE a FLYER as he so deserves!!!

We found "Bob" didn't we? Just because we screwed the pooch on that whole situation doesn't mean he wasn't a good find and could've been a heck of a tender for a long time......oh well.......

FC - we might have better luck using that plan....

Can't be any worse..

I think I read somewhere that it goes until July 5th...

While on the subject of relocation we could move the Penguins to the Philippines and rename them the Manila Folders.....

Love that!

I agree, when the Wings signed Tootoo I groaned, I have no use for the one dimensional goons who play four minutes a game and are only on a roster to fight, guys like Tootoo, Rinaldo, Mike Brown and Colton Orr come to mind as wastes of a roster spot.

That said, I love the guys who can play and stand up for their teammates and themselves, Andrew Shaw, Milan Lucic, Pronger, the Niedermayers, Tiger Williams, Darren Mac, Shanny, Mike Keane the Plager brothers, Behn Wilson all come to mind as my favorite type of players. Shea Weber types. Love these guys, will do whatever they need to do to win, can flat out play and at the same time are nobody you want to meet in a back alley or the corner while fighting for the puck. Cam Neely. Ulfie. Terry O'reilly. Larry Robinson. You get the picture.

My problem with eliminating fighting is it gives the cheap shot artists in the game more wiggle room because they know that nobody will want to retaliate when they do their crap out of fear of putting their team down a man. The instigator rule was hard enough to swallow, most NHLers say the same thing, this eliminates the policemen in the game from doing their job and in the long run would hurt the game

I take offence to this remark. Zac Rinaldo has really upped his game and should be given credit for it. He is not a goon. I'm sure you don't have much of an opportunity to see the Flyers but he is not the player that he was. He has matured a great deal.

@TedZep

That's pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

And that's why I'm all for the Bruins in this series. The fans in Toronto don't deserve it. I know it's probably just a few but......

Caps in 7, but only because I hate NY more...

@ruxpin

You are a sick individual!!!

I like!

What's nice is that we don't have to wait 'forever' to find out when we'll be picking!!!

Hopefully the balls will fall in our favor and then we can just discuss 'who we'll be picking first"

Love Rinaldo's game and think he has realized how to use his skills for his benefit. I would also give Gus a little love. I am impressed with his progress this season as well!

I can remember calling Carter "high and wide" all the time...and will never forget the shot that, IMHO, potentially lost us a chance at Lord Stanely!!! For that alone, I'm soooo glad he is gone!

@jammer2

Well, that is that. The boys looked pretty good last night and I think that Mason is truly making a great case for himself!!

@Hexy27

Thanks!

Whatever the reason, I'm glad he's back with us and looking so good! He has always been my favorite Flyer and now I can wear my #12 jerseys again with pride (at least for now)

Definitely. He has been looking great out there. I don't think he was given the chance in LA this year, but has proved he still 'has it.' I also like his defensive game. He has a great all-around game and I think would be great for the younger guys!

@OH1FlyersFan

Coatsey interviewed him after the game and he said is was some really bad cramping. He looked good the rest of the way, so gotta believe him. He was playing so well in front of the home crowd, I don't think you could've pryed him outta there with a crowbar.

Nice game for him!!!! And thank God it was nothing serious.

@TedZep

Win....Win...

@flyercanuck

That's priceless!!!!!!

@ruxpin

Love your new avatar!!

Love Gags, always have!!!!!

I would say it's more Talbot bad plays in his own zone he is even worst then Briere. Since Briere has never known for good defense , but Talbot was brought for defense mind, but this year he is no defense and offense. I think it's, remember he got injured when flyers were down 2 goal to Capitals, since he left team got back on feet.

TALBOT is problem.

UH, NO!!

It's the nightmare you can't wake up from......

@ruxpin

I could certainly see that as being true, especially with Briere. I would imagine his lazy, uninspired play would have had some effect on the younger players.

I could also see it with Mez, he seemed to be playing very tentative. Maybe to not get hurt again?

So even after this season some of you still think Timonen is a top pairing guy??

Nothing personal but what did Timonen ever do to you? Your opinions are certainly jaded where he is concerned, no?
