I hope so -- not because I care at a high level, but at some point, all teams should swallow hard and acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, what you have just isn't working, no matter what it looks like on paper.

That's a classic example of a talented group that simply isn't right.

Well, MacTavish didn;t assemble it, so he's probably looking hard at everything. It'd be an interesting sell off , for sure.

I don't think he's a franchise player, either. But I think an offensively-inept team would throw a Simmonds type, a defenseman and a 1st at them to acquire him.

You might be right but the players and the 1st would be too much for me to bite on where this team is at. That could be a top ten pick. Forget that.

I know why people are talking Eberle but you have to think Yakopov, who's a mess, might be dangled to fix their D. We aren't in the mix for that.

The thing is, individually, the Flyers defensemen could definitely help other teams.

It's funny how it's the mix of what we have and not necessarily the individuals, but you're right.

I wish, just once, somebody would slap a "Chris Simon" on one of those guys --25-plus games -- just to see what would happen.

Kaleta's a repeat offender. Drop the 25 on him, see what his game his like when he misses a third of the season. I don't think much of Matt Cooke, but having his career threatened changed his game.

Boll beat the hell out of him so Shanny might give him a slight break

Yep, the Flyers have 6, possibly 7 fully capable NHL defenseman. I really think that they have one stay at home defensive defenseman, too many. I find it hard to choose, which one I would move to upgrade the mix. I don't think I'd move L. Schenn. So it would come down to Coburn or Grossmann.

Sacrilegious. Missing hockey draft is just sacrilegious. That worthy of vacation day or sick day or a call off

Ours was for an hour after a Flyers afternoon game except I was at the game and my house was an hour away with no traffic.


There was traffic...

Sorry to disrupt the Hockey talk. But my thoughts and prayers go out to Minnesota Vikings running back, Adrian Peterson. His 2 year old Son was beaten by his Mothers boy friend, and has passed away. I can only imagine the hurt that he is experiencing, and what he is going through. So sad and incredibly unnecessary.

Really hoping to see Hartnell get going tonight. Giroux could use the help.
