Solid choices and rationale.

He's looked pretty good in pre-season though. I can't wait to see him play in the regular season.
The commercials with him wearing all the flyers gear give me chills. No clue as to why.

So just a random poll:

Is it this year that we start female doging about the JVR trade?

Or is it next season?

Ugh, I hope never.
I like Schenn.
JVR would have to have a beast season to consider that trade awful...
In many ways he's getting a lot more opportunity on the Leafs than he ever did with us. So good for him.

Of course, I'll have the Lecavalier shirshey (part tshirt, part jersey) by the All-Star break when he's got 20 goals......

He was the whipping boy in my section last year. Loved when it was his partner or the forward who made the mistake and people still blamed him. Drove me nuts.
- nastyflyergirl


you? being driven nuts? unpossible.

the whipping boy phenomenon is one of the reasons i gave up the tix. one.

I haven't decided yet. The fiancee has an away jersey. I might go home just to keep it clearly differentiated. My Briere one was one of the black ones and I won't get another one.
- FlyersGrace


I have a black Briere too. Where do you get your jerseys? Online or at the fan gear store?

It started about 5 minutes after the deal was announced.

See, I couldn't get a Vinny jersey just yet. He hasn't done anything in a Flyers jersey as of yet.

It was the same with Jagr when he first got here. I really didn't understand the rush to get a jersey of a guy who hadn't accomplished anything in a Flyers uniform.

If I was going to buy a jersey today (I have two....one with my last name that I never wear anymore and an orange Giroux jersey), I'd probably go with Kimmo Timonen and then, maybe Hartnell.

- johndewar


I buy mine off the clearance rack.

I've got a barely worn Lacombe jersey if anyone's interested.

Online usually. Mostly cuz it's a hike to get to the fan gear store for me and we almost never go to games.
Beer is so much better at my place.

If JvR won the Richard trophy, I might consider mildly complaining.

Until then, though, I'm fine with the deal.

Probably the next time he blows by Schenn on the rush again.

Seriously though, JvR doesn't have near as much 'hates to lose' as Schenn does, so I still feel very comfortable with that trade, even though they still probably should have been able to shake a little bit more out of Tarantah at the time.

He better lol...I put a lot of faith in him as he has only scored 1 preseason goal to date! However, any player that spurns the Habs to come here is a player I can be a fan of.

Not just you. I think they need a new warm-up routine... Soccer ain't doing it.
It's infuriating knowing that 3/4 of the team won't show up till the 2nd period.

I don't want to imagine this roster without Luke Schenn on it.
