Thanks.

They really need to make casting native to the app... it's just another in a long list of reasons why fans turn to HS instead of GCL.

It's a pain in the balls, so I usually stream using the laptop, and watch the app on the go

Couts must be offered more opportunity to prove his offensive prowess, he has the most potential of all the Flyers forwards. He, Schenn, and Leier would be a start.

Let's do that after he signs a 5 year extension at $3 million this summer.

Then we get a 50-55 point 2C on a bargain contract till 2021.

there have actually been some games where malkin looks much more engaged than crosby. kunitz appears to be running on fumes as well. he isnt doing as many of the things that made him very valuable (think hartnell, when he became more of a perimeter guy at the expense of his net crashing/corner winning ways). i think old man rutherford would be open to making a trade, but i think he is currently having a very hard time finding a dance partner.)

i think im finally open to the idea that giroux might beat him out for the art ross.

This isn't anything new though. Whenever Crosby wanes, Malkin shines.

and yet with all of this, the pens are still at the top, no? we've seen this before.

eh. i like seeing crosby and malkin get some individual hardware, but the cup is the real prize.

and this current team right now obviously would get blown out.

i still think they can be somewhat competitive if fully healthy, but theyre depth will kill them. they need to make a move.

of course it's the prize. i'm just saying we've seen them survive at the top on spare parts so many times before. it's amazing really. the flyers can't come close to that.

My son got Lilja. It rolled around in my hatch for a couple years. I have no idea where it is now. I traded the car in so it may have gone with the car.

for as much as they charge they could at least give you a decent signature. guess it could have been worse, it could have been Kyle "can you believe the Flyers traded Handzus for me" Calder

yeah. im not trying to be patronizing in any way, because i understand its a frustrating season for you right now.

but its hard to look back at the last couple years and be happy from a pens perspective. yeah, youre right. they are usually able to ride the back of either 87 or 71 and some spare parts to finish anwhere from 1 to 3rd in the conference, but they havent been built to win in the playoffs.

even with everyone healthy, i still think they realistically need one more player.

i'd be frustrated if i were a pens fan, too. all that talent, only 1 cup to show for it, a 6 year cup final absence, while teams like chicago and la have been a repeated post season force.

and i didn't take your post to be patronizing.

haha yeah. i hear poop for it all the time.

im awful with technology as it is. most of it is annoying.

i like not having to worry about breaking/losing it and replacing it at some astronomical cost.

im flying solo as far as my plan goes, so i dont get the benefits of the family deals or whatever, so the cheaper the better for me.

and its just simple.

It's true.

His favourite player at the time was Umberger and I bought him game used skates for the Carnival. They traded him week before. I should have known he'd be trouble.

haha okay good. i didnt want to come across as bemoaning yet another loss while a lot of you already are looking towards next year.

because yeah, only getting one cup with the players you have been fortunate enough to have, cant really be viewed as much more than breaking even. just in general, i dont really like when a fan base wins something and then suddenly forgets how frustrating it is and feels some sense of haughty entitlement to look down on other teams. people forget how cyclical this stuff is, and how difficult it can be to get to the top of the mountain, let alone stay there

well, um, yeah. of course. all i need is one gddamnmotherfcking cup. just one. one time. and i could live with mediocrity or downright bottom of the barrel forever after that.

to come close so many times and leave with nothing every single time...nobody should ever have to endure that.
