Eli Manning is the best quarterback in the division

and the luckiest POS on planet earth

What a bunch of clowns the rangers truly are. I've never seen so much dirty play in a preseason game. Kreider and Nash should be suspended

I hate seeing Umberger wearing #20.
- Jimmygrazz

I know, right. After Jiri Dopita no one should be allowed to wear 20.

They really need a guy that can be an offensive force on Coots wing and they just don't have it.

Looks like the plan based on practice combos today is to try Schenn and Simmonds there. I think it's a good choice with the personnel available.

I choose to believe that Porter going on the 1st line in today's practice means Raffl's injury is a minor one.

I was thinking Trent Klatt, but Dopita works too.

Preferably someone who can stay on their skates and possess the puck.

The kid I personally keep coming back to as a somewhat realistic trade target is Hertl. He's like Matt Read on steroids.

A guy they would be able to get cheap would be Magnus Paajarvi for a low-round pick. It could be a Ville Leino kind of move. He's got a lot of skill but just hasn't put it together. Give him a legit shot to form some chemistry on the 2nd line, and who knows, maybe he can get it going.

Of course they'd have to lose a player too in a separate move.

He had a god-awful season last year though.

And by "lose", you mean "plant oxys in his car on a cross border trip into Canada"?

Read left ice early. Got banged up last night. Will get update.

Man. Whoever was praying for some bad juju for a couple defenseman really brought some karma to the forwards.

Why is it that the Flyers keep getting 1st round picks / prospects that look good but then do something wild like blow a tire at the blue line when they're the last man back on an overtime 3-on-3?

It was a bad play by Laughton, but his stick checking prevented a goal until the ref called his completely clean play a penalty and awarded a completely undeserved penalty shot

FTFY

I can't say it's a surprise, but it's disheartening how useless VLC looks out there. I'll be disappointed if they keep the "we're trying to get Vinny going" charade up once the games matter.

Hindsight man. If it weren't for that back injury......

So far only Couturier, Raffl, Read, and Nuevirth are injured. Right on pace.

That right there is the definition of rookie mistake.

It seems as though if the defender is behind the player, you can't play stick on stick defense, in the NHL. Why is that a penalty if the arms or hands are not interfered with?

Lots of players lack experience in playing 3 on 3 hockey. Expect to see more of that, even from veterans in the future.

bill in your opinion what options do they really have with macdonald?
is a trade even possible at this point?

what would you do?
- rinaldo

MacDonald is the only player I'd be willing to include a draft pick & retain Salary to not have on this team.

Just a bad call. Likely playing to the home crowd.

hue of glasses aside, I'm looking ahead, not behind. Vinny isn't part of the equation if they intend to win games, the guy's toast.

Get with the program, it's all doom and gloom!

No argument there. Very expensive toast.
