it seems to me Richie is taking over LA kings as next captain, so may be why Dutin Brown is going to be move soon enough

Only case if Briere or Timmo or Harts are moved. But I don't see we need anybody. Nash? I don't really know if we need him so much, we have Harts who does very good job scoring.

A Hundred times no. I said this before when it came up and I'll say it again. Until Chris tells the team to give the C to someone else, you do NOT take it away. It sends a poor message to everyone else. Besides, Timonen, Jagr, Talbot...they're not going to become better leaders just because you slap the C on their chest. A leader is a leader regardless of title. The team needs a real leader in the locker room. If they have one, he's already stepped up and assumed de facto captaincy through his words and actions. If they don't, a letter isn't going to change things, and may make things worse by putting pressure on someone who isn't comfortable in the role.

Talbot and Timmo are already leaders, as we speak.

I should agree Talbot is making a good captain, people told while he was in Pens, players were listening him, and he is guy. How many times Talbot would take game and turn around it.

Pronger should give up just for reason, in playoff you need a captain, and otherwise team is disorganized.

Well, it's clear Pronger is gone and doesn't come back, so time to move on. We need a captain now otherwise this team will not make playoff.

So my candidate would be Bryzgalov. He is well speaking with media; fans loved him, even NHL fans loved across a country. just imagine, he skates to the refs and saying to him - "why are you so upset and sending my player to the box, it's just a game!" Well I'm just kidding!!!

Seriously, would you think a good idea to make Timmo or Jagr or Giroux or Talbot a captain of this team. My first choice would be Timmo second - Talbot third - Jagr fourth - Giroux

he played well jis first game, you can see he was a little slow with the pass, try to see who is his teamates. He should be better today.

well al goalies are nuts, look at Price he does all time some stupid remarks, as well as Miller. we should let it go for little, because there is no other alternative for Flyers. All goalies were sucked here, so I guess even Roy or Brodeur would be bad fit here.

@ruxpin Just reading that article upsets me more and more regarding Bryzgalov. If there is some language barrier, as some have suggested, than clearly he needs to stay away from the media before he has a contract put out on him. He has to be pulling some sarcasm angle, right? I mean he seriously cannot think that the Winnipeg fans were cheering for him. If he was being facetious, than I would go as far to say that he knows that the hometown crowd here in Philly is boo'ing him because of his beer league goal tending. I just don't see this 9 year marriage lasting much longer. The only thing that I see being plausible is that he is bought out when the CBA is restructured. Even that pisses me off to no end knowing that he'll get a huge payday to be marginally talented.

If media and fans leave him alone, then everything will like in Phoenix. Believe me, he likes to show off so it hurts his game.

it's sarcasm. Well it's nice put out by Bryz, and another stone to Flyers fans. The guy is nuts and I loved, and you guys should learn from him how to enjoy a life.

Perfect said

Homer said he is fine. Angry Birds.

See that's a problem you didn't understand his contest, because it's translation from Russian language, I would say same thing and people would what f.. did you say now? well he meant, You care too much, it's overwhelming to him and he can't handle this situation, so meaning you are over care , meaning blowing this thing over the propulsion. He needs less attention, because it’s a game and show in the end. He is trying his best, and will try it, but for media should shut f… up for a little time. It’s hard to translate the whole meaning of it, but its Russian way (language) to say these things.

When I read this thread name I'm like nice he is trying to calm down people areound, but then reading these replay and all negative language, well I read it again and understood where is coming it.

Alreight even they will trade one of them, then what? Flyers will never have calm situation in goalies. We had history over 20 years, and none of them work out well. It's karma and just stop trading and talking about them, may be if forget them for couple months then miracle will happen.

Well look at bright side, Capitals with Vokoun is still on 9 spot in E. conference. So it does not matter % and ect, more important they can win games.

The NHL should kill those contracts for good. No more then 5 years. Who wants to see same situation as Flyers with Pronger, Isles with Rick DiPietro.

yes it seems to me, after reading somewhere he needs to see Keith, what to do next, because he has long life ahead of him.

It's sad when guy like him is going to retire so soon.

I wonder if Rick Nash is next Joe Thornton, he has size, talent, hard working but would not be able to take a next step, like Joe. Remember Joe's performance during playoff is not impressive. So it could be Courts and Shenn will be better on long run. I think Schenn has more potential then Courts, just after I saw his game, he does a lot things naturally, Schenn is right position for rebounds, very strong near the boards, amazing vision and sense for the game, but Courts is more like Mike Richars with a little more talent (may be) or may be just his size is giving him ability to do better than Richie.

I'm afraid after all d-man occurred Timmo is goner because he was complaint a lot for last couple weeks. Him and jvr could be going to Columbus

About Bryzgoalie he is not going anywhere at least until end of season

Where is V. Leino? Did he touch a puck yesterday?

after watching him on NHL network, I think that's what Flyers were looking for he is cleaning guy of the puck and people on slot.

So Carts and Nash to Flyers for JVR, Voracek and 1st or 2nd then right the way Carts to Toronto to his good budy Lupul for Shenn (D)

Darren Dreger lists Flyers, Rangers, and Kings on Nash's short list.

Must mean that Carter hasn't slammed Philly too too much ' Or maybe he talked up Sea Isle.

PS - The crazy thing is that I'm not from Philly, never been to Philly (except for driving through), but know about the areas of Philly.

Carter might told him about Temple crazy parties and Harts crazy hair is like a magnet for....... So Nash is all over it.

Carter and Nash for JVR and Voracek, just an idea, I would not do it, but Homer may be

Carle finished the game as a +1, Kronwall a -1. I guess Kronwall is overpaid too huh? Carle also played almost two more minutes in a team-losing effort.

http://sports.yahoo....?gid=2012021205

I think people are unfairly ripping into Carle when there is a much more...systematic...problem. This is a current topic in other threads, so I won't rehash here.

That is reason team lost, he is over played.

I never liked this guy, he had good season, when he was with pronger, then as same as any d-man. he doesn't score, shot wide a lot.

Weber or Sutter for Pronger and JVR any day!

And tell you why, remember Flyers scored 3 goals against their back up, I was suprised to see Preds played him instead Paka Riena.(name?)

So it's nothing to do with thier d-man, thier goalie was sucked bad.

Well, his goal in the good tradition of basketball, if anyone played or watched at least. If I'm right Sutter was covering him.

Very strange move by Homer. I hope it's just as return favor for something Caps did for Flyers.
