I'm right there with you. I'm pissed a quite a few players this season.
- GOA88

im hoping it was just a bad season... but the talent isnt exactly elite in every slot.

plays his best hockey against the Pens too

that will be what I say after he is traded and goes on to flourish with another team

I'm sort of joking here, I think if Hexy can make a hockey trade and get a young/same age scoring wing back in the deal it may get done

I don't see them trading low on Schenn just to make a deal though
- Marc D

when he tipped that goal from the high slot against the pens in the playoffs i thought he was going to be legit

Deffintely not elite. I have no idea how he was ever evaluated as the "best prospect".

Or you could have a player like Jagr, Recchi, Weight, Iginla, etc., etc. etc....that perform well into their late 30's. WTF VINNNNNNYYYYY!!!!
- GOA88

I'm not gonna say it never happens.

I just don't think the percentages of it happening are entirely favorable.

Those are pieces you can afford to add when you are THISCLOSE to winning a championship.

I think of this team as missing the PO's 3-years in a row, more or less. Last season was a mirage created by crazy special teams and goaltending -- they shouldn't have made it.

Or when he creamed Martin. Or when he fired a laser of a pass onto Voraceks stick for the deflection goal to even the series up at 2 against the Rangers.

IMO Schenn needs a couple of speedy wingers to back the D up to give him room to shoot from the high slot -- that was his bread and butter in junior.

Luke just needs another FHOF'er to carry his water for him.

was this, in anyway, inspired by the post directly preceding yours? jk

but being serious, it seems like theres too many guys that need all sorts of accomodations to play at a respectable level.

welp i cant argue with that and i wonder what course the front office plans to take. i know we have promising prospects but theyre years away from being able to carry the burden.

I like this, just need to get some quality wingers to play with G though

Or when he got cross checked in the throat by Asham.

Wait, what?

No quick fix to Homer's horror show, that's for sure.

Nothing short of global apocalypse.. I will say though, I like the road Hextall is taking so far in an attempt to start correcting things.

What does scratching Umberger tonight accomplish? In my view, answering that question explains why it hasn't been done sooner.

So then why scratch him tonight?

The goaltending wasn't crazy last year. Just good.

if the flyers play, and nobody gives a (frank), did it actually happen?

I think if you lure Homer out of his cave with a piece of raw unicorn meat, stab him through the heart with a sharpened hockey stick, cut his head off and put a playoff game puck from 1975 in his mouth while sprinkling holy water blessed by Mr Hockey, and then bury him on Broad St in a shallow grave full of those plastic rats they loved to throw down in Florida...that might just do the trick. The curse will be lifted and the Sixers will become a .500 team again.

I give up.

can Hexy scratch Berube and bring Murray up?

If we are replacing Craig I am getting greedy.

Love a signing like this. Small skilled kid. all they have to lose is a spot on their 50 man roster. Maybe they get lucky and he becomes a NHL player. if not then so be it. It was worth a shot.
