My kid is getting Spanish in school now.

He just started 3rd grade.

One of the biggest reasons I have confidence in Hextall is the draft and his refusal to dump picks. Reading up, there's a lot of analysts that really like the Flyers draft class, and Craig Button thinks they did a great job.

They added a ton of skill and skating ability. I'm really pumped about Sanheim. I think he's got the potential to be a top pair guy, who plays all situations. Aube Kubel looks like he's going to be an exciting player-maybe a Justin Williams type guy. Friedman is a smallish defenseman, but he's skilled and seems to be a smart kid.

I also think Oskar Lindblom is a steal in round 5. I think they got value and skill in every round, which is what they needed.

i'm planning the parade route. this poop is going to happen.

That kid is 29!

.....he's aged well

This X 1000

There are kids Morin's age that can barely master English as a first language.

Among them are the 30,000 or so white girls age 18-24 that die every year, each fall, because they just can't even right now.

I wish I could speak le french
- Streit2ThePoint

I took french in high school for 4 years.

Learned nothing.

It's true- you can't teach an old dog new tricks. If the US wants to be serious about getting their citizens to speak other language, you start that poop in kindergarten.

Do you ever get the urge to write a really dark comment on a fb photo that says something like "Dinner with my girls. #FriendsForever #FreeDrinksTonight #LetsGetCraCra #YOLO!!!"?

Me too.

I can still read it ok, and maybe speak rudimentary French, but it's really very weak.

I know. I actually got pretty good at French, but then never used it for 10 years

The new word I learned from the kids this week was "bae".

Feel free to look that poop up.

Exactly. I took 4 years of Spanish. I remember little sentences here and there and a few common words but no where near being fluent. It would be great if they started teaching at a young age. Problem is though, which one? Most countries all teach English as their second language.

Yup, something like that.

I thought it was a typo or something.

let's go with artificial pumpkin flavoring

because pumpkin beer can be a thing of beauty
- -davies-

Really hard to make a good one, at least if you are committed to using actual pumpkin

Most just add the "pumpkin pie spices" and call it a pumpkin beer

To use real pumpkin you have to cook it first, use a ton of it to get much flavor and it can add a gummy texture if not done right

Raspberries are the easiest fruit to use

Have a Oude Bruin sitting on 10lbs of cherries right now, should be ready by the Flyers season opener

Bill Meltzer ‏@billmeltzer 5m

Had the pleasure of interviewing Pierre-Edouard Bellemare at some length today. Extremely bright, articulate and enthusiastic guy.

Seen a few tweets like this. Bellemare has been a fan favorite where ever he's played
- Jsaquella

I'm really excited to watch this guy.
His highlight video shows he has a lot of skill and good hands and a quick release shot.
If he can adapt to the small rink he could be a real find.

If Akeson sticks with the team he seems like a natural for that 2nd power play unit.

I don't play fantasy hockey but if I did I would take Streit this year.
He could rack up a ton of points getting 1st power play minutes.

Tis the season of flocks of white girls in yoga pants holding their iphone in one hand and their pumpkin spice latte in the other "literally dying right now" because they "just can't even"

Are you a youth information supplier?

I wish I understood this.
Do people actually say these things?
Maybe I need to get out more.
On second thought, maybe not.
