- JAKEw1234

yes. you are.

Dont worry. Knowing the Oilers they will get the first pick overall, have the option to pick Ekblad, and then choose Reinhart. Securing their lack of a #1D

yep

Can we somehow make a Sestito - Sestitov "offensive" name for Rosehill? I'm not clever enough.

I like Bryzgalov, but he's an awful fit there in Edmonton.

I'm surprised he was seemingly so against Florida. He was offered a PTO there and refused, much better fit, more solid defensive team and coaching style, at least under Dineen.

Oh I don't know. He's the Russian Torts.

Shut your yap.

And then goes to Edmonton. Which other than having a piss poor defensive team is also freezing. Because Edmonton is so much warmer than Winnipeg.

Dumba on Ekblad:

"He has the body of like a 35, 40-year-old. The guy shaves his chest every week. I can't believe it. He's a man-child. He's like, I don't know, just a huge human being. I call him Shrek," said Dumba

That man-child sure can grow an impressive beard.

Tortorellakovnovich?

Did Stolarz ever get in?
- PhillySportsGuy

yes he did he shut out germany 8-0

its so (frank)ing annoying that the Oilers could actually get him.

i hope they never get good

i'm (frank)ing sick of it and i imagine the world's best prospects are too

there should be a cap on how many years in a row you can draft top 5 and i am dead serious.

I agree. If youve drafted that many times in the top 5 and still bad you should lose the privilege. Stop hoarding/ruining all of my favorite prospects.

I love Canada. I view Canada and England/UK/etc as our biggest bros.

I always root for Canada hard, unless they play the USA.

(Yes. Even when Sid is on the team.)

I don't get all the animosity the Habs have to us. I like our friends to the North!

Yes, but given his history.....there's been enough "passes". I think we can consider him a cancer at this point. I really do.

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt as a Flyer but towards the end of his tenure here I was becoming lenient. Now that I see he's made it a habit....well let's just say he's lost a supporter

Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 1/2/14 @ Colorado
- bmeltzer

I know I'm only beating a dead horse but I truly believe that we have yet to see the best this team has to offer. We are definitely doing Vincent Lecavalier no favours by playing out of his natural position, on the third line and second unit PP duties. does this not seem ridiculous to anyone else?

As crazy as it seems, I feel this team is well overdue for a line shake up. we're still winning games but not dominating by any stretch of the imagination. I absolutely feel we should have dominated the Calgary Flames and could have with a better four line balance. The 5-0 shutout in Ottawa a month ago is the perfect example of that.

all in all I look forward to tonight's game...right after a brand new episodes of Community!!!
