I hated Randy Holt. That was the first time the Flyers ever acquired a player that I hated.

I remember being weirded out when the Flyers got Nicky Fotiu.

The Flyers still had enough talent to be a playoff team. Fedotenko as a 4th liner and Gervais as a 7th defenseman were depth signings. Knuble was a desperation grab

My guess is that the asking prices for difference makers was too high, which is why we saw Knuble and Gagne, rather than a top four defenseman.

Voracek outscored Nash this past season, not that Nash wouldn't have been a huge addition, and probably would have put up better numbers playing with Giroux than he did in NY.

That said, Voracek is younger and cheaper than Nash.

I just feel Nash didn't have the same support but the goals he did score were timely ones. I understand if you disagree

I was taken aback by Fotiu, but he won me over.

Unibrows.

Seriously. Look at this picture. This unibrow makes Joe Flacco's seem tame by comparison.

He didn't, and probably would have had more had he played here, with Giroux. But he's also about twice as much in terms of cap hit.

It was very disconcerting, as he had those years on the Rangers under his belt.

Had the same thing with Boxcar Hospodar, too. Back then it was more staggering to see

If you make that kind of post when the 2013-14 season rolls around I am out of here.

Oh, that's right. Boxcar WAS a Ranger.

He was featured in an awkward passage in "Thin Ice" if you ever read that book.

Clarification...

NOT a unibrow.

Forehead ridge and shadows. Many images, then and now, showing no unibrow depending on the lighting and angle (unless all of those were taken after a trip to the barber).

Baseball has the best unibrows: Wally Moon and Frank Zupo are pretty much at the top.

"If Holmgren can somehow pry Keith Yandle from Phoenix - would Sean Couturier, Braydon Coburn and a draft pick get it done? - the Flyers would have a defensive cornerstone."

Couts, Coburn, and a draft pick??? Cmon Carchidi.

On a completely random side note I adore my new car. It’s a 2014 Mazda 6 and they did a phenomenal job on this vehicle… I’m a big fan of a car being fun to drive, sadly almost 9 years of an RX-8 was becoming impractical. The Mazda 6 is a nice segue-way into my first midsized sedan (yes, cringe all you want until you see it). They redid everything on it, outside, inside and engine and at 38 mpg highway, some serious nice luxury additions and it’s a very hot car! (She is of course red). I got a good deal on it and the hardest part was waiting for it!
Mazda actually contacted me with my own personal customer assistance rep to see how I liked it and sent me flowers (I kid you not).

And now back to hockey....

I'm for it, but I'd go after the Panthers. Buy the team under an assumed named (Guy Incognito, or possibly Mr. Underhill), and then trade soon-to-be-Panther Seth Jones, Justin Huberdeau, Erik Gubrandson, Jacob Markstrom, Dmitry Kulikov, and their next 85 1st round picks for the rights to Matt Walker and a second rounder (that thing's gotta be eating away at Homer right now). Then disband the team.

That's what I said, but the 2014's hit dealers in Jan... Only a tiny amount in the US. I got mine end of Mar.

It's only a matter of time before the car industry has us buying models 2 years ahead of the calendar. Ridiculous.
