here is the title:
Restless Genital Syndrome a Variant of Restless Legs?

- Marc D


Not sure how they would diagnose that.

Are the Flyers considered a .500 team since their record is 5-5? Or do the overtime losses come into play since it would be more points?

Berube is their coach, which is really a loss, so they are below .500 either way.

When is Murray going to be the coach? February? Or after they are technically out of the playoffs?

Murray has already coached Akeson, so he would be the perfect person to ignite his future stardom, ala John Stevens and Richards.

If Murray is promoted to the big club. Does Cote get promoted to lead that AHL team?

(frank)ing scary.

who said i blamed him? i was just explaining that in my opinion he had a chance. you said he had no chance. i completely disagree. he made 2 separate attempts and got beat both times by excellent finish from rnh.

my point, again, was about rinaldo.

That's why I was asking. But it seems to me, that if you think Mason had a chance to make the save, then he derserves part of the blame. Does that not make sense? In my view, maybe saying he had no chance is too strong, but I don't think he had much of a chance. I can't really fault anyone on that play. It's just an excellent skilled play by RNH.

Im very confident in saying this... Jason Akeson will never be a "star" at the NHL level.

Giroux made me a fan with his great individual efforts back in 2011 and 2012 seasons. Now he seems too passive and isnt using his talent to the best of his ability. Playing too simple at times. Giroux needs to get loose!!!

don't get me wrong. he's a terrific player. done a ton of great things here. just not my guy.

The NHL goes by Points% so they are .500.

To make the playoffs they will need to be at least .550, though.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/te...ointPctg&viewName=summary

Last year's 8 seeds were Detroit at .567 and Dallas at .555. The Flyers were .573.

I guess most people forget that Akeson was a point a game player in the regular season last year.
- feelingkettle


Nicely played.

Incidentally, he got that point with me in the building.

Personally I've been waiting for a big, fast, talented forward to dominate in Flyers uniform. Thats my type of player. Voracek is that guy finally.

Neither will I, actually.

And it's to the detriment of us all, really.

There's no guarantee that Hexsteal goes with Murray, IMO.

I don't think there is a single person who ever thought he was even going to approach that level. But what he could be is a secondary scoring winger if he would ramp up his all around game. If not, career AHL scorer, and part time call up.

BRB, I'm gonna throw punches in the barn and, eventually, avenge my friend Derrick's career ending injury.

From what I've been reading on this forum today sounds like a lot of people think Akeson is the 2nd coming of Briere. Give it a rest. The kid isnt that good. He had a couple nice plays in the playoffs. Thats it.

I think 100% of this board agrees with you.

Are you sure?
How about this..... Jason Akeson will never even score 20 goals in one NHL season.
