All he wants to do is be the first to leak a story regardless of fact-checking and tries to create drama. Plus his mustache is creepy. He understands the game, but is not good at analyzing the game, so I'd rather read Bill.

About 100 years ago, I used to hang out in the philly.com Flyers forum. His son and Ken Hitchcock's girlfriend used to launch personal attacks at each other.

Oh baby, it was entertaining.

Good times.

Yep. One of those good deals for both sides type things.

I personally think he is way overrated as a dman. I for one did not want to trade any assets for him nor would I want to pay him that.

I don't think so.

He is serviceable for now but they know they will have to upgrade the lineup.

I think you'll see guys like Bardreau and Goulbourne filling in those roles possibly. Maybe Martel.

Hak seems to have made VdV is golden boy. There's no good way to justify him being an every-day NHL player based on this season. If Brayden Schenn can sit as a healthy scratch, then VdV could miss a game here and there as well. Hak seems to love him though, because he is a good soldier.

How is it that Tim Panaccio doesn't get a single comment from you fellas?

Is there some sort of Philly phaithful gentlemen's agreement that nobody posts there?

I mean, Leafs fans hated Howard Berger when he had a column here, but there were always a few comments - mostly "Hey Howard, go frank yourself!" - but still comments.

What gives?

- Atomic Wedgie

I can't speak for everybody, but I just don't get anything out of his blogs, and there's 0% chance of convincing him to leave, so...

It would be White, Laughton, Bellemare or Konecny that see a benching before VDV.

The only way he takes a seat is if a fan mails him some laxative laced cookies.

it's funny because when I first started frequenting this place, I started in his blogs. I've been coming since 2006, but due to a period of inactivity and I believe a site redesign, my account was deleted and and I had to recreate in 2009 when I began actively posting again. can't remember the details, nor do I care to

playing devil's advocate, Schenn can probably play better (not a knock on his game), but no amount of persuasion is going to get VdV to another level.

I get that.

I think it is more of circumstance. Letting guys play in the AHL and not putting them into a 4th line roll with limited minutes right now.

I actually think he could be moved at the TDL. Maybe they get a later pick but he could be a good soldier for a playoff team. Provide some pk minutes and 4ht line role.

I mean he doesn't kill you, he just doesn't bring anything special.

The PK minutes to me mean nothing. The Flyers PK blows.

He's not worth wasting time on. Plus, commenting on Timmy would take valuable time away from endlessly arguing over semantics, who is or isn't elite, and what's the best kind of pie.

More good times.

IIRC, the guy who started that site (who knew nothing about hockey) and Hitchcock's girlfriend also used to have epic battles.

And there were 3 other Toronto fans who used to just troll all day long on the site, with sometimes hilarious results.
