You get the feeling that during a fire, Homer would casually walk out of the building unharmed as if it were a normal day.
- PhillySportsGuy


The only thing he would let burn are his 2nd round picks.

Does that come with a side of bacon?
- Moose_15


mmm bacon!!

ok here's my master plan....

1)trade all forwards/defencemen except Coots, Schenns and Laughton for high picks
2)create lineup with all centers.
3)diversity sux, redundance rules!

trade Giroux for Weber
trade Hartnell for Yandle
trade Voracek for jBow

Barkov-Coots-Monahan
MacKinnon-Laughton-Lindholm
Shinkaruk-Schenn-Domi
who-cares

Weber-Yandle
Streit-Timonen
jBow-Schenn

Mason
Emery

No, but I'd love for the Flyers to hire Rod Brind'Amour as their new strength/conditioning coach and 3rd line center.

So, the Flyers are in need of CC in front of the net, what about tanks and heals? Did Briere count as ranged DPS? Do they need that too now?
- Doc_Sarcasm

Doc, you picked up what I was puttin down!
Hmmmm....
I'd say that those who covet Bob Ryab definately believe in ranged dps. All our tanks were beat to hell this season.
The sleepy juggling bear routine as cc never did work very well in net. Prolly good we moved on.
And whoever our healer is needs to be shot. Or found - or something. New healer is definately reccommended... Make or break a team I tell ya...

Is Bill still around answering questions? I'd like to know his opinion of Galimov and Haugen of the KHL.

He just gently sighs, dismounts, and throws a dart at his 35+ UFA dart board.

Severed neck injury set him back a bit, but I hear he has a lot of lower body strength.

Come to Margate on a saturday night and stop by the WAWA. Every suburban high school kid hangs out at WAWA. I don't understand

That's a great Wawa. You can count on being somehow entertained every visit.
