I had Sanheim going 19th to Tampa, was close enough

I bet the Sharks get a late goal and win 1-0

Sharks have to fly to Anaheim after this game also

They could have done thing before the serious change in personnel. The future is bright but no guarantees.

This isn't a popular opinion, but going all-in on Pronger too soon with the original post-06 core was where it started to go wrong. Instead of a future 5-7 year window to win, Homer banked on Pronger pushing them over the top immediately. That group just wasn't ready yet, and they got caught with too many of their eggs in the Pronger basket.

Those are fair points and I certainly am not trying to diminish Carter as a Flyer but I personally believe the upside on Voracek is higher along with being significantly younger. That doesn't even account for the Couturier part of the deal

They were good trades.

Could you imagine the Richards deal if they had gotten Simmonds and one of LA's young mobile defenseman back?

Oh wait, they would have likely had gotten the wife abuser guy with their luck.

Never mind.

Guess I was wrong. If they lose at home to Buff, it will be pretty bad

Good goal scorer, but not a star. If you think he is, then we have a different definition of what a star is.

Would you consider Evander Kane, Tyler Seguin and Matt Duchene stars?

Boston has all their eggs in the Chara basket. The Rangers have all their eggs in the Lundqvist basket. Acquiring Pronger was a fantastic move, and I'd be in favor of making it every time.

san jose's defense might be worse than ours but they have better players

- Tomahawk

I think Seguin is headed in that direction. Would you have considered Scott Hartnell a star at any time in the past? How about Wayne Simmonds now?

They haven't looked good early this season. I think they'll straighten it out

Damn just went over the team stats.

Penalty killing efficiency: Flyers 73.7% (27th), Red Wings 100% (1st)

They haven't surrendered a ppga yet!

Good, they're due.

No Boyle. Their forward depth is pretty sick though. They'll still be one of the better teams in the west. Not sure they can win in the playoffs though.

Whats weird is that the Wings have a struggling PP. They had a struggling PP last year in their first meeting with the Flyers and went off for 3 goals on the power play I think.

Will it still be Thornton's fault if they don't?

boyle wasn't anything special for the sharks he actually looked like a sloth out on the ice at times

Yeah. It's gotta be a little awkward over there

Yeah it's the equivalent to breaking up from a serious relationship - but the apartment is too good - so you remain roommates.

Congrats to ghost. Welcome to the show. Now lets get him a win in his first game.

Unrelated. I'm in Boston to see my bears lose to the pats tomorrow. Lol
