wait, that sh!t is actually real?
I just though skip was making it up.

I played D&D, AD&D, and other tabletop RPG's over the years. The D&D games have a spell called "Magic Missile," which I understand LARPers use, too. I have not viewed the video yet.

here he is in action:

I would love to see Holmstrom up.

There were only 5 players plus the goaltender on the ice when the goal was scored.

yea but that is flyers tv.... clearly biased

LAK put Anthony Stewart on waivers. Have to think he will be claimed. He's a useful player.

you know I'm a closet freak with you old man.
I just had no idea that the LARPers were actually real.

I think communication is key and they had none yesterday. Couturier and Talbot on a line change during the pk was brutal. You might be right, I should give things time for this group to click but this isn't much of a different team then last year. Mr. Snider might see things differently six games in if we don't wake up. Some of the mistakes made yesterday were dumb ones.
- SuperSchennBros

Definitely not clicking. That wasn't the only situation where there was a miscommunication. They're just playing sloppy right now, and need to tighten it up. For whatever reason, they haven't come out as sharp as some other teams have.

It's still early. Of course, consensus of local media and many fans seems to be...

If you're expecting it to happen within 10-15 games, then you might as well start worrying now. This is a process that is going to take time. Look how long it took Coburn to get to a consistent level. We're likely looking at at least a Season or two for Schenn to reach his potential if he's going to get there. He's 23 years old.
- MJL

He's 23 years old with 4 years of NHL experience. That's a big difference. I thought Coburn started to excel somewhere between years 4-5 of NHL service, maybe even a bit before that... I think years played in the NHL is more relevant than his age at this point as it's not as though his body is still developing.

I would try to get both brothers in here.

but you could see Coburn had so much potential from the day he started playing for the Flyers...size, speed, skating ability. Not as easy to see in Schenn

Number of games is relevant, as is age. He's still young and raw. It's going to take some time for L. Schenn to get to where he can be as a player. If he does.

The kid with the club that could make the ground bust apart forming a wide chasm was my favorite. Dude with the fire arrows was cool too.

Speed and skating ability is one attribute. I take it you don't see any potential in Luke Schenn. I guess we'll have to disagree there.

Played the demo. Might be one to get.

Skating is one attribute a player can have. Pretty self explanatory.

That may be the creepiest thing I have ever seen. The guy yelling lightning bolt had to be in his late 40's.

Heh, no. I mostly play NHL 13 but have gotten into reading more. My wife and son play Minecraft. I dabble in it, but leave it to the "experts" of the family.

if they go 0-4 it's all about the sharks

I never said number of games wasn't relevant? I thought coburn started to really stand out after ~215-297 games played. Luke Schenn has played 312 games to date and often played against other teams top lines when at Toronto. I'm not sure he's that raw, but I am encouraged by the assets he has and think he can be above average.
