I would actually like to see WAs win some playoff games. I was routing for them this year. Ovi deserves it and there window is narrowing fast.
- coffee junkie

Agreed. If the Flyers can't make it, I'd enjoy seeing Ov make it to the Finals.

IIRC, Gagner is pretty good on the shootouts, too
- Jsaquella

I certainly hope so. Hopefully G will rebound to his career average because he was brutal last year.

that skill will vaporize the second he puts on a flyers jersey.

I really had hopes Vinny would up and go away today.
Maybe he is waiting for the check to clear into his account.
Maybe some young pup will check him in training camp and end it for him
He is brittle as they come

Hopefully G will have 5 goals and 5 assists in 3 on 3 overtime and the Flyers will have zero shootouts.

Yeah, that's the problem,I do know
Its like going into the Bermuda triangle.
Can only hope the new regime changes things and the curse goes away

I like having gagner instead. Skill level is comparable, so is the cap hit, but the shorter term helps next year when they need to re-sign everyone

shoot out will become a novelty again

The one way to really end it, or at least get teams to compete to win in OT is to go 3-2-1 for points to the winner and 0 for the loser.
teams would be busting their ass to win in regulation

Anything that is a team game as opposed to a slam dunk contest.
Another issue is game length and in arena union overtime for stage hands and trades, though no one talks about it. I was really happy with ties after 5 minute OT's when they introduced it. Especially when you have teams playing their 3rd game in 4 nights....

I believe 19 for 62 career but now I can't find it to know for sure.

Than the flyers will stand pat in the SO

I would have rather seen Zepp return than going with LaBarbera

It is indeed 62 shootout attempts

And it is indeed 19 goals

took a while to find it -------- 29% career in the shootout

Hoping the Labarbera signing means more games for Stolarz seeing as that guy is ancient.

Yep, i remember him from his LA Kings days back when they sucked and had him and Mathieu Garon were protecting the nets.

I would have preferred just about anybody over this pilon

I want Eric Fehr.
