I really like Schroeder. He can stay on his skates better than Raymond ever could. Winning faceoffs is a bonus. If he continues to improve on the back check and his defensive zone patience the way he did last season he will be very good for us.

Ian Esplen: Your third-line centre
Your third-line centre

I admit the disappointment is palpable when looking at the lineup card with new youth supposedly coming in: and then realizing there may only be one or two spots available for the under 20's... But glass half full :
#1.> important transition to buffer the Sedins? gives us the line of:
D. Booth / R. Kesler / Z. Kassian* (* Having big Zach on the first line is exactly the elixir he will need to develop his confidence and talents.)
#2.> D. Sedin / H. Sedin / A. Burrows
#3. > C. Higgins / B.Gaunce* / J. Hansen (*Giving a talented rookie 4th line minutes would be the popular thought but by bracketing Brandon in between veterans with some talent is the Modus operandi of Torts for developing youth at center.
#4.> N. Jensen* / M. Santorelli / B. Richardson (*Here again having Jensen in the line up is a necessary progression for the Dane who showed signs last preseason he can play in the NHL ... 4th line minutes split between Weise and he in the left wing spot is what I hope for... playoff demotions for rookies like NJ with a trade here and there is likely.

Is being a Flyers fan the new cool thing? I just learned what YOLO means, so it might take me another year or two to catch on.

Waiting for the Vantel Booth Blog to go up.

Woulda bought him out, but injured.
Coulda traded him, but his stock not very high at all.
Shoulda thought about where to put him in lineup more. Not sure if him and Kesler work as well as our fan base is hoping, both are shoot first players and not sure who you put on that line to distribute the puck.

I am hoping he is healthy and plays more than 70 games. I have liked how he crashes the net, just reminds me of Hansen at times where the effort is there but can't buy a goal. I also like how he is still young, and hope he gets 20 + goals this season. I think his spot will be gone by end of this season with Jensen/Horvat/Hunter taking it for alot cheaper.

YOLO Girl
A YOLO Girl (or just A Yolo) is a female who has taken the saying "You only live once" (YOLO) as an excuse to throw around their vagina and have sex with as many people as possible. They are usually down to do it anywhere, anytime and with anyone.
Some YOLO girls justify this lifestyle by saying they have been emotionally hurt by someone in their past.
Bro 1: I just (frank)ed stacey last night in my car! I think she likes me.
Bro 2: Dont get attached to her, she's a Yolo girl.

Ian put this blog up 14 hours ago and 60 hits. If he wants real hits he should post a blog "Now is the time to bring back Burkie "

I did not mind when they had Booth with the twins, fans just need to realize it will take a few games for Booth to figure out how to play with them.

Kassian is an underated passer, could work well with Kes, Torts just needs to give him some slack (IMO he will).

You think all of those d men will play before AHLberts?

Is overpaid?

Is the best 3rd line C in the game?

Is a very clever Aphorism?

Booth just needs to give some of his salary to opposition goalies to let in a couple goals for him. Booth 'creates chances', just can't finish.

You mean in the one game he played there? Give it a chance, I bet he could score 30 if he played a full season there.
