I'm gonna say it. Laugh at me all you want....

But Thank You is an important song to me and the better half. Your Song and Lullabye by Billy Joel as well. She would always ask me to play the latter 2 when she was in the the music room chillin with me before we were together!

It's all good. We all have a cheesy song that's special to us for one reason or another.

Several guys had rough periods. Grossmann struggled quite a bit in that period.
- Jsaquella


It's like that so many times when they play Tampa -- the sheer amount of speed always seems to surprise them

But with it being tied instead of them getting pumped for two or three, maybe they can get points out of this thing

Getting pushed off the puck. Forcing plays. He might be gripping the stick too tight right now.

Per Carchidi, Hexy says he's trying to get a FA defenseman soon

Sam Carchidi ‏@BroadStBull 3m3 minutes ago

Hexy just said he is trying to add a UFA Dman. Soon.

David Strehle ‏@DStrehleTFP 2m2 minutes ago

So Hextall saying Flyers are close to inking an UFA D man. We'll see if those Whitney rumors (that were vehemently denied) have any credence

He's streaky as a mother(frank)er, though... he'll catch fire soon enough.

Panthers. He is Panther killer. Didn't the majority of his points thru the halfway point of a season come against the Panthers?

Speed might be part of it, but there was that last chance by Johnson was all poor positioning and not picking the guy up quickly

Who's left? Did they reach out to Whitney and he denied us?

Isn't Morris a FA?

Common, you know what's going to happen

What should happen. Lecavalier centers the 2nd line.

I'll take it! Thing is with Ray is that he's slower laterally, but he's not bad positionaly and he's a real battler. As long as his rebound control is good he can be successful as we've seen.
- Hextall271


At the risk of sounding like I hate Mason, which is far from the case, I don't feel Mason is leaps and bounds better the Emery. The east to west movement is slower as we all know but Mason definitely has advantage by being great at handling the puck, younger and has never had a career threatening injury. Mason is better, I just don't think we're comparing Brodeur to any of his back ups throughout his long career.

that back hand high shelf goal he had, I was hoping that would turn things around for him
- Marc D


Me, too -- truthfully, I don't necessarily expect him to score a ton of goals. Like Tomahawk said, he's always been streaky

What has worried me more is that, if I had to rely on the eyeball test, I'd guess that his shots and chances are down, too

Goddamn I how could I forget Since I've Been Loving You.

That's also one of those 5 songs jousting for a top 3 position

Underrated tune by them is Four Sticks, IMO

Salo and McBain are the only ones I'd be interested in... kind of tells you the state of UFA leftovers.

They are. He's not having a strong season offensively to this point. But he'll bounce back.

Ron Hextall says he’s pretty close on signing a UFA defenseman so he can sleep at night and sent Gostisbehere down to the minors.

Flyers had trouble breaking out, and far too many of the Bolts breakouts were uncontested. Bolts executed easy quick ups multiple times. Flyers also had poor gaps in that period. That said, they did stabilize the game a little bit.

I'd consider Morris. He's capable.
