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.

I still say real men dont eat no pie.

I judged you all.

P.S. Started some guitar lessons (have had one for years and never play) in some dude's basement. Cheaper that way. Kind of fun.

How bout A-Mac for Buff?

I'd trade AMac for 2 used pucks and a stale hot dog if the other team took the whole contract.

Is it me or does there seem to be less arguing, and pissing matches over semantics today.

I hope they don't let him anywhere near the Brayden Schenn negotiations personally.
- flyer_nutter


I 2nd this. Go all Hartnell on us. Of course I don't see Schenn potting 37 goals.

Do you perhaps enjoy a certain dark robed, heavy breathing villian?

I wonder if A-Mac will get his jersey lifted to the rafters in Lehigh Valley.

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.

its a joke that nothing is said of a crosscheck to the head. I don't blame Simmonds for being pissed at all.
- nastyflyergirl

Seriously. Simmonds received those instigator penalties earlier in the season for sticking up for his teammates. Simmonds will drop the gloves with anyone and plays a hard, tough but clean game. Seeing Simmonds that angry was absolutely the result of McDonagh cross-checking him across the head instead of taking the hit.

Great blog Bill!! I've been out of town on business for a few days, and your blog told me all I needed to know while away.

.....and yes, way too many armchair GM's with all the answers, when they don't know half of what is actually happening in the locker room or players lives.

I wonder what it's like to sit next to a teammate knowing he's making in a game and a half the same money I'm making in an entire season

Maybe. Laughton is young, and misused (in my opinion) but has yet to be more than a bottom-6 player. Morin is young and may become a top-4 guy, but has yet to do anything at the NHL level. The first will likely be a top-10 pick.

Trouba is a proven, yet young, NHL defenseman who can be your top-pair anchor. He'll never be Chris Pronger or Rob Blake, but he could be a Scott Stevens/Kevin Hatcher type.

Were that player me, I'd be happy knowing that I'm making more than the average person annually by playing a game.
