I like that we were able to use the pick for Anthony "I Slash Your Head" Stolarz. In a few years, I look forward to both he and Morin competing to see who can throw their stick further into the crowd.

That doesn't answer the question at all. Telling someone they can say whatever they want, but then telling them to "gtfo" would be like telling your kid they can wear whatever they want, but then yelling at them when they wear something you don't like.

Hal Gill is the Flyers Mastedon Nominee. He lost a match race to L. Schenn and Grossmann to bring down the award!

Any word as to whether Hexy is helping Stolarx with the art of properly filing/grinding a goalie stick blade to a knife edge?

Lavi was a f'n moron and I'll never forgive what he did to Bob during the playoffs. I still want to punch him in the face for it, almost as much as I want to slap the tongue off of Miley "I'm all grown up now" Cyrus' face.
- wolfhounds


It was ridiculous how he handled them in the playoffs. They brought up Leighton??? What a mess.

Its the constant feeling of needing to win NOW AT ALL COSTS that killed Bob.

As a side note, Morin continued his strong play in the playoffs. 1 assist last night and a +1 in Rimouski's win.

Constantly putting down Flyers fans while being a Phillies fan, as if there's no overlap, was the one thing that never made sense and did get a little irksome...

Still, he's a good guy, and I imagine he'll be back. He's just going to have to expect some pushback when he gets salty about the Flyers/fans in a Flyers forum.

What's the series stand at?
Also, how've "bust" Laughton and his team been doing?

I'm a Flyers and Phillies fan, and I hate most Flyers/Phillies fans. And about 97% of the Eagles fanbase as well. Guess I am not welcome here either.

I liked Bob too. I think he's still on the team is they knew a buyout was going to be available. I just think Homer rebounded nicely from the whole fiasco. Things could be a lot worse.
- PhillySportsGuy



Didn't they need the cap-space? His AAV was just shy of $2M.

Let it go Plind. Emotion is an offense.

Apparently you hate everything about life though I hear.

Rimouski up 1-0 in 2nd round series.

Oshawa starts their 2nd round series tonight against Peterborough. Peterborough is coming off an amazing series win against Sam Bennett and Kingston. They were down 3-0 in the series and came back to win it.

I'll always believe that Laviolette cost us a Cup and than a playoff series to make a point.

Cup... I need more D than you've given me so I'm going to grind the four I have into the ground.

Series... This goaltending sucks. I've tried them all. What do you want me to do? They all lose.

I was ready to see him go two seasons before he did.

I imagine you hate 97% of people, so I'm not sure this is a valid comparison.

Well, they could have saved $900K by not signing Leighton instead. I'm sure they would have found a way.
