Yeah, until somebody decides to poke him back....then he cries about unfair moderators and says I'm stopping & suggests you do the same.

I can sum up todays responses very concisely: Jeff Carter sucks, and we need a responsible adult watching over us at all times.

A Jeff Carter blog...
- PhillySportsGuy

Please no. I'd rather carve my liver out than read a thread after a Carter blog.

Why? He's the best terrible center winger the Flyers ever had/traded. We should/shouldn't try to reacquire him.

It's definitely worth maybe having a good locker room awful player like Jody Shelley to sit in the locker room on the ice to teach protect play in place of better players salary cap.

I don't hide when insults are thrown my way. Funny how you guys all stick together while trolling newer people. Why is it posters leave the site again?

I don't hide when they're thrown my way. I'm just not super sensitive. I laugh it off.

I've seen various reviews on the video that have ranged from "that was cool" to "I can't believe they didn't show them on laptops using advanced stats".

Because, you know, watching a dude tap away on a lap top and punching Corsi numbers into a spreadsheet makes for awesome TV watching.

I plan on giving it a look see tonight.

It's not really in depth, but it gives you a taste of the dynamic behind the scenes. Mark Greig had an interesting tidbit of how the scout guys-the main guy for each league will see the kid the most, but the other scouts will see him 3 or 4 times as well, kind of a second opinion to cross reference the main scout's views.

I'm still surprised they had Mirco Mueller as high as they did.

Fire Stevens. Trade Carter.

(Voted Roenick, Kapanen, and Forsberg.)

NHL 2004 lists Forsberg as a LW--and since I take NHL 2004's word as Gospel, I voted for the most deserving center and wingers.

I don't even know where to begin with how wrong this is. You're just making wild accusations, and I'm using facts. And the fact is that you're not using facts. I'm right, and once you just look at the facts, you'll realize it. That is, in fact, a fact.

If the contest were "Who could shoot high and wide" better--

I'd vote for Carter a thousand times over.

None that I caught, although I'm pretty sure that he wasn't wearing shoes, as somebody mention in the other blog.

You can't spell "cannibalistic fart smeller" without "C-A-R-T-E-R."

But you can spell "Keen amazing hockey player who was the best ever" by using "K-A-P-A-N-E-N"

I don't know why, but I was thinking about Blair Betts the other day. Really liked his guy.

I just wish God liked his shoulder.

It was an interesting watch...don't expect it to knock off "Shark Week" anytime soon, but it was a peek behind the scenes.
- Jsaquella

Oooooo Shark Week.
The Zebra shark is one of my avatars. Bizarre I know.
And I might check it out.

I've been a bit busy. I had to put my 13 yr old male shepherd down last thurs. That dog was one of the bright stars in my life. I miss him tremendously... But I miss him healthy - climbing on windowsills, wrestling with me, and being an 85lb lap dog versus where he was. Sad part is one of the greyhounds is sick as well so we might have to do the same thing again soon.
I'm too emotionally fragile to hang with you guys too long during offseaon. But I could use the season to start up again so I have something to help distract me.

Don't worry, I'm sure that I'll run dry on you very soon, and you'll cringe when you see my username pop up.
