Only the eagles can be 3-1, leading the division, but scare the hell out of you at the same time.

my girlfriend was scared as hell of me during the game cause i kept yelling at the tv
she then proceeded to get me a few anger management books cause she says i get too much into eagles games
but andy reid's play calling was STUPID at times and the timeout was just a JOKE

but woohoo 3-1 at least we're not 0-4 like those saints cheaters!

23 yrs ago today, Flyers re-acquired Pete Peeters & Keith Acton from Winnipeg 5 days after trading both to Jets to stash them from the waiver draft. The NHL permitted the trade but subsequently changed the rules to prevent similar flouting of the rules.

I remember it well, a Keith Allen move made by Bob Clarke. It was like a week between deals and all it cost was a low round draft pick I think.

Five days to be exact. And, yes, all it cost was a low-end draft pick that originally belonged to Toronto -- incidentally, the player selected with the pick (Finnish center Juha Ylönen) eventually did play briefly in the NHL.

2REAL go crazy with no hockey. At least the Eagles are winning... despite it being very ugly. I nearly had a heart attack or broke something at the end of the game on sunday.

When the time out was announced I heard a plaintive cry from the guys across the courtyard. At that point I turned off the television. Then I heard them freaking out, so I turned it back on and rewound to see the second miss.

Had thought a team in the Swiss league would be a serious threat to sign Giroux.

SC Bern was allegedly trying to recruit Giroux and Briere together. But Giroux has taken awhile to make a decision and Briere is reluctant to go for family reasons, so they signed Tavares instead.
