I'm the exact opposite. I hate everything that involves the Penguins. There is not one player on that team that I like. Bunch of babies who have some self-entitlement problems to fix.

I do, however, like Byslma. It was really hard not to hate him during 24/7.

In a couple of seasons when guys like Callahan, Krieder, Stepan, and Miller come into their primes--I'm going to have a huge problem hating the Rangers.

i am having a hard time hating the rangers as well for those exact players. it is impossible not to respect what callahan brings.

i think that series had some black marks for both teams. both players teams took shots. neither team hesitated to go after the other. however, i just get mad when its players like asham or rinaldo that are barely worthy of regular minutes that go after guys like giroux or malkin. but thats how it is i guess.

as of now, Crosby appears to be in terrific shape and ready to go, although im sure the threat of a cataclysmic injury will always be at the forefront of everyones mind

Even if they were to draft that kind of defenseman, he'd take years to develop into that player. The Flyers need is a bit too immediate to solve that way.

Of course, I certainly hope they draft and develop a top defenseman either way.

They need a stud on that blueline without question. There just aren't that many to go around. One way or another they have to get one.

if he stays healthy, i think he has a hell of a season (or whatevers left of it) points wise. however, i think its fair to say that for both the pens and flyers, they are going to be getting to the point where the regular season and its accolades arent going to be the marker to judge them anymore. the art ross wont mean a thing for crosby or giroux if they get shelled in the playoffs

If the team doesnt do so hot this season.

Is Lava's job in jeopardy?

- flyer_nutter



tough to say, but if they just flat out suck I'd say yes. If they can't play his up tempo style he could be in trouble. If the team is playing well, but the goalies are the problem I'd say no he is ok.

Overall I'd day he is safe for this year unless the wheels come off completely.

So did I until around Thanksgiving(US). I was looking through some AHL stuff and saw he was playing for the Marlies.

As of now, in 28 games for the Marlies, Ranger has 18 points(5 goals) in 28 games, with a +17 & 32 PIM....looking for more in depth numbers for him

Thanks for making the effort.

Wifeskippy enjoyed my reading of your posts to her. Especially of the NJ mascot story. Actually, no. She liked your jab at Dancing Shawny better.

I hate to say it, but this lockout was good for crobsy gave him more time to rest his head.

Just cleared to participate fully in practice. If there are no setbacks he might be ready to start the season.

I just hope they don't rush him. He had two serious injuries and I'd rather have him healthy towards the end of the season.

????????????

To dominate, you need to play. The trend says that he can't.

As usual, we get some poor comments on here that make no sense.

Then, 10 weeks from now when he is sidelined, there will be hockey fans from the dark side stating how risky Crosby is as a player.

Must be nice to re-write history on an ongoing basis.

The Canucks time has come and gone like the Sharks. Sorry to disagree with you.

I hope I'm wrong but I get a bad feeling that Fleury is going to put it back together and the Pens are going to do it to rub salt into the Flyers fans lockout wound.

You are all wise men.


I'd rather have the lockout last all season than have either of those teams win.

Agreed 100%. He probably won't be back to normal until next season.

I would cringe if that was a sound bite coming from Laviolette. Tortorella is a jerk and an egomaniac.
