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

Do you hate all of our prospects or are you being sarcastic the last couple weeks? You've been banging all of them pretty hard while criticizing people for going on and on about bad trades.

Holy poop. 4G/3A in 5 playoff games?
- jmatchett383


We demand more!

Addendum: I can't stand most Eagles fans either, I just don't feel the need to point it out. And I'm not a fan of any other football team.

And yeah, I'm not a fan of most people, either... Just too f'n stupid on average.

I agreed that it's "close".

As a believer and supporter of Bob before he was traded, I was not happy with the trade. But Mason has been adequate.

Would you of been okay giving Bob the deal he signed in Columbus?

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


Yeah. That was a big part of it too.

I truly believe Homer wanted to give Bob a chance to start. Bob wasn't a very good backup anyway and he was clearly unhappy in Philly behind Bryz.

I think management knew they were selling low on him, but felt they needed to move him. They really only saved $1M because they still needed a backup in Leighton. They wanted all money possible to go after Suter and Parise.

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

Probably like 86% of the world's population, but that consists of 100% of France.

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'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.

- mayorofangrytown


I didn't dislike Lavi as a coach. Were you really comfortable with our third pairing against that stacked Hawks team?

I have one guy in my section who is constantly on Hartnell.

I hope I'm at the game the night Hartnell gets a hat trick.

I plan to throw my hat at him.

No, I like all of our prospects for the most part. It's not lie I would have preferred Pulock over Morin, but I like Morin and wish for the best with him. Many people considered Laughton a bust due to...I'm not sure what.

He's sarcastic. Morin has grown on him, but he still loves Pulock. Amiright?

So one player that has played center his whole life should be able to magically transition to LW, but a different player that has played center his whole life should not? What makes you think that Schenn can be an effective LW when he's played center his whole life?
- jmatchett383



B Schenn is a baby in the NHL. And Schenn played Wing on a line with Lecavalier, and I didn't see any difference between Schenn playing at Center or at Wing. If there is a difference, feel free to point it out.
