All of them. My kid passed out after the third beer

26. Another coach on the Flyers: “In addition to everything else, Craig Berube is trying to change the style they’ve been used to playing.” Ron Hextall confirmed that is true. “We’re not trying to be safe, but we are trying to be responsible. Keep the third man high on offence…don’t always try long bombs out of our zone.”

27. It hasn’t been easy for Philadelphia, but one of the best moments was Scott Laughton scoring his first NHL goal while his parents were in town to see it live. “Mark Streit’s father was sitting next to my mother and told Mark she was tearing up,” Laughton said. The family went out for a nice dinner after the game. Who paid? “I tried to buy, but my father wouldn’t let me,” he laughed.

28. Meanwhile, Jakub Voracek had some great stuff on Claude Giroux and his own road roommate, Wayne Simmonds. He and Giroux faced each other in the 2008 QMJHL playoffs, Voracek in Halifax and Giroux for Gatineau. The Flyers captain had a ridiculous post-season, with 51 points in 19 games. “It was a joke,” Voracek said. “He was so good. They killed us.” Les Olympiques swept the Mooseheads in the semifinals. But it’s not over. “He brings it up all the time. I tell him it was seven years ago, but he won’t stop.”

29. As for Simmonds, the two get along great, deciding to stay together even though the new CBA allows each player his own room. (Comcast will love that, it saves the Flyers a few bucks.) “We both go to bed at the same time,” Voracek said. Then he told a hilarious story about how neither allows themselves to miss a game with an injury, because it would cede control of the remote to the other. Seniority determines who gets it, and they are both at 488. For his part, Simmonds told David Amber that Voracek is a huge prankster and the guys love him, but is a “total slob.”

30. Voracek, approaching 50 points, on his success: “When I was 16 years old in the Czech Republic, it seemed so far away. At 18, in my first (NHL) training camp, I could start to see it. Even two years ago, I thought, ‘I’ve got 20 per cent more to give.’ You can never be satisfied.”

I put the sock around my skate too boys

Non stop sock talk. Exciting game.

Yep.. Good call. I am going to my kids game. More action that is for sure

Yeah, it's one thing to suck, but to suck and be mind numbingly boring is simply inexusable.

Agent Carter is calling and can't be as boring as this team has been. I hope I come back to a 6-2 game.
