Flyers trade Byfuglien for J-Bo. Done.

Would you, after we have traded a boatload of young talent for him?

I think its one of those things you just get used to. Ive had friends who became nurses and they hated seeing blood before they began taking the courses.

It's amazing that Simon Gamache didn't make it. His junior numbers are crazy.
- jmatchett383



Yeah, nuts. He scored 60+ goals pre-draft! Makes Anthony Mantha look like he's slacking off.

I'd rather just trade him straight off the Jets roster, at no expense to us. We get J-Bo, the Blues get Buff, and screw the Jets, nobody cares about them anyway.

They get Rosehill... the original D to F swingman.

I'd like to see any deliberate head shot start at 10 games.

So would I. Hopefully, the change of Shanahan will be the beginning of change. I know he's just following what others want, but they really need to reevaluate the rulings. I'm pretty sure the NHL isn't in favor of guys like Oshie missing the playoffs.

If Stephen King was a hockey GM/coach, Keli Corpse should have played on a line with Stu Grimson.

I had a routine checkup for the first time in X years the other day. When they said they wanted to draw a little blood for blood work, I allegedly turned pitch white.

I don't really mind pain, but the idea if willingly getting stabbed and having something either put into my body or taken out of it makes me literally (LITERALLY) shake whenever I get a needle.

Literally.

I don't like them either, but I just deal with it. Its happening no matter what. Might as well just get it done as fast as possible.

Anyone know if this losing streak has any correlation with Raffl leaving the fourth line?

All this MacDonald talk..... I personally think he has been very good. I noticed the difference after we got him immediately. He has calmed the defense down and he is very good at getting the puck out of the zone, above average skater and passer. Do I need to mention his shot blocking capabilities? The PK has been better to. He isnt flashy but he gets the job done.

The difference was good for a good stretch of games. But what has he done recently? He played way too soft in last nights game. The whole team did. They allowed way to much time and space for Tampa to pass. You can't just keep a team to the outside, you gotta take away their space. You can't let them get good looks across the ice to make the passes they were allowed to make.

My mom once had an experienced nurse do that. The lady kept trying to get at a small vein that she was "sure would be better". After 5 stabs, my mom passed out in her chair. After a few minutes the doctor used the big vein and it worked fine.

Per Panaccio, Berube says if the Flyers face a must win for 3rd place, he will start Mason in both remaining games, rather than rotate

Thats one player man, he looked like their best d-man last night. Tampa was too fast to control overall. Be honest though. Did they really give up any more chances on net than any other game? You cant expect them to be the 90's Devils. That just isnt realistic. Emery was soft last night. The Flyers outplayed Tampa. Did they have breakdowns? Absolutely. Every team in the league does. We had 53 shots on the Bruins 2 weeks ago. The difference?? They had their starting goaltender in net.

I just hope Mason plays every playoff game. If they lose the first two games of the series, and he doesn't play particularly well, starting Emery wouldn't make sense. No need to go down that road.

Huh.

Well...huh. Guess you gotta do what you feel is best, but the math says that you'd actually be better served not doing it that way, but Chief gets to do what he feels is best

Thats what scares me, I have had the feeling that Berube has been getting Emery ready just in case. It wont work. Emery will not be the 2nd coming of Michael Leighton 2010. lol
