Hmm. Panotch just tweeted that luuko is pursuing other interests

That's corporate-speak for fired.

Will Laughton wear the C?

Asked around that seems to be the popular choice.

When are the Olympic rosters announced? I heard it was end December? I am really wondering if giroux will make team Canada. It sounds like its hit or miss but I think it will be an important experience for him.

January 7th for the Olympics today wad for the World Junior teams (just 3 cuts will be made)

An all time favorite has gone rogue!
The Pierre Turgeon to our Benoit Hogue!
He added levity, fire, panache!
His legend'ry pleas to take out the trash!
Crusher of trolls, protector of our forum!
His presence gave us exalt'd decorum!
Guardian, friend, whither have you gone?
Your memory glistens like dew on the lawn!
Much time has pass'd, but we miss you, yet!
Worse than Patrik Stefan on an empty net!
Try as I might, from sea to sea,
I can think of no greater than our dearest Duane B!

Nice

Shocking news about Luukko.

After 25 years, you would think Luukko would give Snider a heads up and say, "Listen, I want to pursue other interests pretty soon, if you want to start looking for a replacement."

I wonder what the reason was?

Hey Bill, any chance we'll see the podcasts again soon?

Please elaborate. Why do u think the move was made?

I wonder if this was a Pat Croce situation.

Or, when you hit Luukko's level, he was likely given a big, fat check to go away.

peter lukko resigned. hey its a start!

From Luukko's bio from the Comcast website:



Is this Luukko throwing up his hands at dealing with the Old Man or is this the Old Man thinking Luukko brings nothing to the table?
- johndewar

if it were a choice between the two, i'd choose the former.

I wonder if Luukko took a run at the throne, ala Pasquale Croce.

Please elaborate. Why do u think the move was made?

I have no idea right now.

Yes, but have been very busy here while Ek has been away. I'll resume with those when Ek is back.

Right, but boil it down and it still means they wanted him out of there. Nobody "pursues other interests."

yeah.. he's been KILLING US on the power play. glad to see him go.

Exactly.

"Pursues other interests" = "take some time to spend with family" = Bullpoop

Vinny out for tonights game??!!

Talked to Lecavalier, said he's never had back spasms before and this was totally new for him. Working through it with trainers.

If this lingers, is there any chance the Flyers call up a more skilled forward from the Phantoms?

Wouldn't it be fun if Laughton and Leier were out killing penalties together

Since everone knows who Luukko is, and I don't:

Can someone give me a fill-in on who this guy is, and why these changes matter for the flyers?
