I wonder how soccer fans would feel if the next World Cup featured only:

Germany
Italy
North America
Argentina
Brazil
Spain
United Kingdom
Rest of South America

It probably would not be well received
- jmatchett383

The Soccer World Cup isn't a gimmick though.

Matt Carle was a very good defenseman who wasn't a part time player and healthy scratch when he was brought in. Why pay 1.75M when comparable players can be had for far less without giving up any assets? I don't beleive that Kassian is an equal at this point to Talbot and Simmonds when they were first acquired by the Flyers.

Its funny you say this and yet you continue to defend Macdonald when his name comes up.

First of all, what are you interested in discussing? The actual subject matter or an individual poster? Secondly, if you think that Kassian and MacDonald are similar in any way as players, I would disagree. Thirdly, if you have such a strong opinion on the Flyers pursuing Kassian as a player, why not discuss that, rather then the tactic above, and I'll be glad to discuss that further.

what is the realistic price for Kane

would you trade the Schenns for him

that was the minors who cares

I do. That video crystallizes the essence of his game.

They want to hit the lottery with him according to the talking heads in Winnipeg. They're talking roster players plus high draft picks and/or prospects.

They're also saying he was benched because of curfew violations.

Good luck with that.

The hilarity of the brazen passion
for spare part winger Zachary Kassian

Posits the best and worst combined
of a rotten core that belies the rind

So here it goes without ado
A simple breakdown for you to chew

Zachary Kassian is a waste of space
Redundant, worthless, no change of pace

Bright and shiny, and they're on cue
A subset of fans without a clue

Barely a figment a month ago,
Now the demands for Kassian grow

Patience a virtue long abandoned
Rational logic immediately disbanded

Summer: A plan! Let's ride it out
Develop youth, establish more clout

Winter: We're doomed! Clean the house!
We'll ne'er win a cup without Kassian and Crouse!

Perhaps, for once, we'll ourselves restrain
Enjoy our Jake, Claude, Steve, and Wayne

And know that hope on the horizon glows
But not with Kassian, who invariably blows.

There's a league rule that the night before a game there's an 11:30 curfew.

I wasn't aware of that but there it is.
