I think its pretty set in stone that Cousins is coming to play in the AHL. He's accomplished everything he can as far as development in that league.

Staying in Juniors would only delay his development.

- PhillySportsGuy

at this point i believe its his choice, and i hope he plays in the AHL.

They're actually eliminating a lot of them (notably the 70/73 one and the 9th street one in Somer's Point). Traffic flow at 73/70 and at Somer's Point has been a catastrophe ever since.

The one in Somers point is a b!tch. I don't see them often enough to say that Jersey has a circle problem though.

We have a toll problem

The round abouts would be fine if they were only used at 5 lanes, but they arent. They are all over the place... and Jug Handles... really. NJ is like the only state I have seen use these just about everywhere... And other states get by.

And the Gas. I know its Law... But its the stupidest law ever.

Sometimes its nice and sometimes is cumbersome. On a cold night, it's nice to have someone pump your gas. If you have patience and aren't in a rush, it's really not that big of a deal.

That we do, unless you want to take 295 all the way up, hop on 95, take it to PA, then come back down 95. The Somer's Point circle was a good idea, but it was implemented horribly. The traffic there is a just a nightmare now.

Do we really have that many circles? I always though DC was the king of circles.
- PhillySportsGuy


DC does have some circles. I remember a lot of them driving from Bethesda to the mall. But I remember more driving to AC on 40.

Worse than jug handles and circles are the crossovers on Roosevelt Boulevard. Those things are death traps.

Your fault for taking 40 instead of the AC Expressway or 322.

Lots of 20 year olds play junior... and he literally just turned 20... im almost 100% sure he can play 1 more year of junior...
i forget how many years we have to sign him... i think its until the start of 15/16 offseason... now 100% sure. think you have 3 years to sign him, and he was drafted in 2012.
Danis has been a top AHL goalie so thats good.

- FLYERSROCK!



you have 2 yrs to sign a player drafted out of Juniors in NA. There is absolutely no way Cousins goes back to juniors.

There really is no good way to come down the shore on Fridays or Saturdays during the summer. You just have to time things out well. Leave early on Friday or very early saturday morning. Or do what I did and live down here.

I wouldn't just assume that. Cousins hasn't shown near the two-way game Read has.

Just meant that if Read does leave or we trade/cant sign him then Cousins will highly likely take over that 3rd line RW role
not every 3rd liner needs to be a 2 way player lol.

Yeah. I just don't think you can assume anything. The only forward not in the NHL that I believe is a sure NHL player at some point is Laughton.
