Oh it's real.

I studied the poop outta the kidneys for my last physio exam

Can you explain it in real people terms? Not that I need to know, but it's such a crazy word I'm just curious.

Brett Hull also had one of the 4-5 best (hard and accurate) slapshots in the history of hockey. I doubt OV flirts with 700 goals.
- jmatchett383

OV's gonna probably hit 500 before he turns 30... barring some devastating injury, 700-800 would seem pretty doable for him.

Should it be open to only HB peoples?

I say we do a draft, 1-30. 1 gets first player pick, 30 gets last. For a little payback, 30 gets first choice of team, 1 gets last.
- jmatchett383

Only way to do this is have a snake draft, and No NHL teams. Team Matchett, team SchennBros, etc...

Ask Bill if he will judge. 2 winning categories... 1 most likely to win Stanley Cup this year. 2. most likely to win the most stanly cups over 10 years. (this will take into account a guy that is drafting with the future in mind, like real GM's would.)

We also have to decide if we are taking cap hits and current contracts into account.

I don't see him keeping up that production to get there, but we'll see.

Are you implying that you DON'T like to drink your own urine?

Weirdo.

Sorry what I meant to say was id rather drink jmatchetts urine, of course I like my own.

I'm late on the conversation... what are we doing here?

Well, first we need 30 people. Then we'll have to have a popular vote on some ground rules. I'd say any member can ask a question that will be decided by a popular vote.

1) I would be very leery of a huge dollar, multi-year year deal to Niskanen to make him a top-pairing guy. Now, he's grown up a lot as a player in Pittsburgh the last few years but a) is still prone to running hot and cold in his play and b) I saw enough of his play in Dallas to know why he got buried deep in Marc Crawford's doghouse.

2) I don't think Morin is NHL-ready yet and I want to see the Flyers resist the temptation to rush him.

3) I'd rather see the Flyers get a veteran backup in case Mason gets injured. I'm still more comfortable with Heeter as a potential callup to back up the regular back up than as the guy who could suddenly become the starter if Mason goes down.

We are thinking about having basically a 30-person NHL draft, where very player is available and teams select 1-30. What we need is some sort of criteria for deciding who did the best.

do you think that emery will return?

You know what's odd... a Russian has yet to score 500 in the NHL. OV's already 6th all-time in goals, and he's only about 67 away from Fedorov at #1.

I'm interested if this takes off.

Thanks for the input. But I guess that means you think the only way the Flyers can solve thier defensive issues is though trade then?

do you think that emery will return?

no.

Redrafting the NHL.

Ok well that thing basically excretes poop to make the kidney filter more poop when it needs to. Or filter less poop when it needs to.

no.
