I was at a game sometime round 81 or 82 where Holmgren beat the snot out of Beck. Don't remember the score or who won, but I can still picture Homer pounding the crap out of that dbag.

Good times!!

I can remember in the 87 playoffs a dbag Ranger fan in the front row at MSG who kept holding up a sign that said "buy a porsche Hextall"

it's their (frank)ing voices and everything else about them. when we went to the WC in Philly, we were surrounded by them. At some point, I just couldn't take it and mouthed off. There is just something about them.

The list is endless!

No lie, my dad used to get up when we were watching a game, walk to bathroom and say, "be back, gotta go take a Ranger"

A) How can they afford this?
B) How are they doing this while they''re still in the playoffs? That has to be violating a rule.

Hey Vinny, you ever earn a 5 year deal ... the hard way?

Quebec & Rimouski both up 3 - 0 in their series.

If they both win out, then Rimouski is guaranteed a spot in the Memorial Cup.

Yes.

I've posted extensively on the topic, but just to reiterate my view, I don't care what any scout or Flyers staffer says, you cannot properly analyze an offensive oriented, finesse player like Akeson based on how he played as a grinder, in limited minutes with the fourth line, with the most offensively ineffective players on team.

I feel pretty confident in saying that it was no coincidence that Akeson had an impact and looked like he belonged in the NHL when he was deployed alongside better players in last season's series against the Rangers, where he got more meaningful minutes, including pp time.

With that said, it would behoove the Flyers to, at the very least, put Akeson into a position to make the most of his offensive talents rather than in one that wastes them before they make any conclusions about his long term potential in the NHL. That should be part of the vetting process and would help prevent a mistake being made. I mean, what's the downside really, to giving Akeson a shot in the top nine and some pp time for something like 25-30 games next season? I don't see any. The kid has paid his dues, give him a legit shot.

Also, I don't buy this notion of "well, Akeson didn't do anything productive when he was playing the fourth line to earn a move up" B.S. First of all, what about when he DID show what he could do when he DID play up with more of a scoring line on the big stage of the SC playoffs the season prior? Shouldn't that count even more than a handful of reg season games playing in limited minutes with stiffs? Yeah, White did well in that role this season and Laughton looked ok there too, but Akeson is a different player (OMG players differ!?!?). He's undersized, and doesn't have the gritty, checking game of a Ryan White or Scott Laughton, so should we be surprised that he's not going to perform well in that role? Akeson's game is producing offense. Playing seven minutes a game with the likes of Umberger and Rinaldo and getting no PP time is simply not the way to tell if an offensively talented player can translate his game to the NHL. I'm sorry, it's just not. This seems like common sense to me and frankly, it is disconcerting to know that a flyers "team source" cannot realize the flaw in making such conclusions about a talented young player based on how he played in a role for which he was ill-suited and one that did nothing to exploit his natural abilities.
