Which makes the trade pointless.

Playing him against a fast skill team in Montreal would be ridiculous.

Harry Z prob won't amount to much, but the trade is pointless, and it's part and parcel to the GM overreacting due to one isolated incident.

I do not know. I'm neither endorsing or condemning the deal. It's really a minor move.
- MJL


I agree.

However, I would rather have a younger Harry Z who has some speed and fits todays game more than an enforcer who is older.

Woah, don't be drawing comparisons between pro hockey and what we do here. They just play a game, what we do requires rigorous practice, strategization , video review, and mental preparation. We don't have time for horsing around.

Same team that signed Jody Shelley three years ago. You better believe it.

The game is built on speed and playmakers. Those days of enforcers are back in the 70's and the Flyers need to let that go.

Broad St. Bullies are no more.

Neither would be picked up on waivers. I think the GMs like the paperwork aspect of it

I think what is overreacting is saying the GM is overreacting by making this move. If the GM feels that they need this to protect his star players. I'd say he's doing his job. They didn't give anything up.

Giroux has been getting hit all year. I can understand the boarding but that hit yesterday was clean.

Hey, I finally broke 100, pretty soon I can put down the bumpers.


I'm still using the dragon slide, though.

All in good humor.

It all depends who is on the ice at the time.. I have a feeling that if Rosehill was on the team, and he wasn't on the ice, Voracek probably would still have done that. There was some emotion involved.
- mikel33



Yeah, I agree. He did it on instinct and was close enough to Oleksy right after the hit where his emotions carried over and they fought. I don't know what this stiff is going to do, but I don't think he's here to protect G, because he won't likely be out there with him anyway. The team has guys that can look out for each other without this goon...sometimes smaller moves like this are made for reasons that aren't obvious at the time. Maybe it's just some reserve reserve D Homer scraped up in his searching around the league. I doubt he plays any significant role.

I was intrigued by Harry Z's speed and determination. He had blazing speed and could often beat opponents to loose pucks along the wall. He might make a solid bottom sixer if he can learn to channel all that energy a little better.

I don't really like it either, but it is what it is. More minutes for everybody else, I guess.

LA needed someone to help replace Willie Mitchell. They really miss him.

We haven't really turned into anything yet. Our only transaction was swapping irrelevance.

For those asking, Pronger, Walker and Shelley are only #Flyers on LTIR. #Flyers will get LOTS of cap relief when/if put others on it.

With a few months practice maybe you can beat her.
