What if the heads of corporations, who make high salaries, all wore caps in an attempt to look more like the "common man" to share in the small middle class activities like shopping at the local fruit market ?

my issue with Carter was (and likely still would be if he was still a Flyer) that he's too inconsistent in his overall game. Yes, he's a streaky scorer, and that's ok. I can live with that. But what frustrated me so often was that he went for long stretches of time where he just didn't seem engaged in the game. He'd overskate a puck and just glide around in a circle instead of stopping/starting and trying to retrieve the puck. Or he'd glide around the net after a shot attempt instead of stopping in front and digging for a rebound. Drove me crazy.

Guy has world class talent for sure, and if he played every game the way he's played the last two games for the Kings he'd be a force. But he doesn't. Or at least he didn't when he was here. If you look solely at his numbers, it's hard to complain about him. But when I watched him play night in/night out, I frequently felt he could/should be doing more than he was. So frustrating to have a guy on your team with that kind of talent that you always feel could/should be doing more.

No denying that he's in beast mode now with the Kings. Just wish he had played that way more often for the Flyers. If he had, he'd likely still be here.

Carter was never appreciated for the player he was here. And apparently still isn't. Carter was the same player here, as he is now. Injuries in the playoffs limited him. Look at Kopitar? He's a shadow of his normal self. He undoubtedly has some kind of injury.

Not only does Nashville hold some blame but so do weber and his agents, and probably the nhlpa too.

I would have to have some clarification of just exactly what you're referring too, to comment in return.

Flyers trivia question (no cheating):

Who scored the empty net goal to seal Game 4 vs. Pittsburgh in 2008?

Depends. Are they half dressed? Where's that hysterical Crosby pic Pierre loves so much...

If I knew exactly what you were getting at, I wouldn't have asked for clarification. Nor do I want to jump to any conclusions, and put words in your mouth. If you don't want to discuss it further, that's fine.

Knuble?

Wasn't that the game where Derrian Hatcher beat Ryan Malone like he stole something?

Yeah, after Upshall totally charged one of the players, and then Richards/Crosby had their scuffle.

But no, not Knuble.

Scottie Upshall will always, inexplicably, be one of my favorite players.

I like him, but he is probably partly responsible for ruining Oskars Bartulis.

No. Zherdev wasn't supposed to play, but a Flyers was injured during pregame so he was inserted into the lineup. Unfortunately, Zherdev found out he wasn't playing and drove home to cry into a Russian prostitute.

He was gonna take the limo. But (insert wife beating reference as bridge) and drove home instead.
