RIP Glenn Frey. 2016 sucks.

Holy poop! You're kidding me! What happened?

Complications from pneumonia and other illnesses. Just heartbreaking, Hotel California was the first song I ever learned to play.

When G scored, I stood up and said "what the (frank) just happened?"

Tough to say as a Rangers fan...but philly is looking good..much better than my rangers

The storm they are talking about hasn't even reached the US yet, it's still offshore..........check back in at least another day before you panic.

If this doesn't relate to us getting Matthews in some way, shape, or form, I don't care tbh

Well, until we actually learn to score on Lundqvist, I'd say you're safe..

Absolute bullet, labeled for the far post. Off the pass

A lot of other guys would have fired it in the corner and you'd be going the other way

LET'S GO BLUES

Up 1-0 on the Pens. Be great for them to win in regulation

Flyers vs Pens round 1. That's the dream.

Get the joy of beating the Pens first round, coupled with the fact that because they made the playoffs they lose their first rounder, and because they got bounced early, they will lose a solid pick number.

Dear Lord

Brian Elliott just gave up one of the weakest goals you are gonna see in awhile

Damn

1-1, Pens-Blues

By Wednesday night we should have a much better idea. 48 hours out is generally when you can start to trust the models

Last report I saw had Chychrun falling out of the top 5.

Flyers trading up?

I still see him in the 5 to 8 range. He's not doing bad the forwards as just that good.

Pretty much.

wow, just read the coyotes blogger on here--James Tanner--talk about Don Cherry being able to actually write an article.

Yikes.

So last night I'm three rows from the ice, right of the Red Wings penalty box. Brayden Schenn takes a hit that puts him 6 feet into the air on open ice, about 12 feet infront of me. When I heard the sound that his body made and the way he landed, I thought he broke his arm or his shoulder. To my surprise the kid never left the bench and he returned to the game.

This leaves me to my question, and please let me know if I'm too soft on this kid because to me the collective group is too hard on him.

If Brayden Schenn brings a "soft game" against Toronto on Tuesday, so we forget about this hit, explain he's inconsistent and demand for his trade?

Now, I have no desire to alienate anyone by getting into the argument that I was there, you weren't, bluh bluh bluh. We all saw it. It's midseason. I think an argument can be made that nobody is 100% and that these guys probably wear ice bags as if they are the newest, hottest fashion. Again I ask, if Brayden Schenn doesn't bring a physical game against Toronto, will he be deemed useless and would it be fair by us to do so?

And Yes, I do believe Schenn sort of an undersized guy who cannot bring the same physical game every night. Much bigger guys like Simmonds or Hartnell, I don't think they are capable of physically flying that high into the air.

Of course as always, I could be wrong.

I think you're missing that by physical, most of those who disagree with you mean aggressive and involved. Nobody is saying he needs to be Cal Clutterbuck in terms of hitting, but rather that he needs to be aggressive on the forecheck, getting into the dirty areas and being involved-which does involve physical play and using his body to establish himself in prime scoring areas.

Schenn can't be a perimeter player. When he is, he's utterly useless. When he is aggressive, involved and physical, he's a pretty damned good player. It's not that he's soft, it's that he's just not involved at times.

So physically involved as in driving to the net and having physical position within whom he might be battling with?

Yes. He does need to hit on occasion, but it's not something that has to be the primary facet of his game. But he needs to do things like drive the net, and battle in the corners and fight for position.

When he does that stuff, he's a very effective and usually productive player.
