I'd like to think he spent it on Magic the Gathering cards.

I rescind my wish to shake his hand. But he is still a hero.

It was either that or beer.

He is a man of simple yet elegant taste.

I think we should all go to Tanner's thread and have a rousing political discussion.

There is a gang of high school kids with 3 or 4 of those stupid (frank)ing trucks that hang out down the street in the wawa parking lot every night. They shoot paintballs at signs and cars sometimes too.

Again, if someone shot them (and didn't kill them) for it...I might not be happy because they're kids, but I wouldn't really be sad either.

That's a good one, although I have a particular dislike for McGillis. I still remember during the deadline that year they got him having everyone say that a Clarke was going to make a move for a goalie and everyone thought it'd be Curtis Joseph from Edmonton. Trade deadline day comes and I'm listening to the radio and get my hopes up when I hear the "Flyers have traded with Edmonton for......Dan McGillis"

To me, he wasn't a difference maker the way a CuJo would have been in his prime. My dislike is more of the move than the player. Those late-90s teams were lacking in a shut-down goalie (save for Boucher in 00) and it makes me wonder what might have been. Sorry for rambling a bit.

Compared to the other players mentioned, he is somewhere between Hall of Famer and minor deity.

The only Flyers jersey I ever had was their original black 3rd jersey with no name on it. I kind of wish they'd bring that one back.

If that's the case, Luke Richardson has to be a notch above.

Richardson was okay. He was better than I expected, but McGills was a better skater with more offensive pop. McGillis was a better hitter, Richardson was a better fighter.

Edit: Extra nod to Richardson as the player that Tie Domi hid behind Tomas Kaberle from.

Luke got paid like a top-2 d-man and while he wasn't, he brought it every night. I'd take that over AMac any day.

So with Anaheim being pretty much backed into a corner what do you think it would cost to pry Sami Vatanen? Schenn +?

I'm not sure. I'd think they went ED-exempt players and picks. But Vatanen isn't what I'd got for. Too much money and too long of a term. I'd rather get guys on shorter terms or lower cap hits. I don't want to block our young guys, just make it easier to work them in. That's how I view it.
