I know i'm a party pooper, but like someone mentioned earlier waiving someone does not mean you have to send them down. I think Hextall waived him earlier, but since Fletch is new he wants to see if someone bites.

Hey Weise isn't that expensive and pretty easy for a playoff team to add some grit for a run....

Best sales pitch I can do.

Last time he was waived the team didnt talk about howd they miss him

Does your team need veteran presence!? Is your Home Depot out of medium-grit sandpaper!? Do you want to piss off Milan Lucic!?

Then have we got a steal of a deal for you. One used yet fairly untouched Dale Weise available as a free giveaway to the first 1 teams that put a claim in for him.
He comes with his own helmet and a hot trophy wife who can kick the ass of any player on your team. Act now, supplies are limited.

Once Elliott, Neuvirth and Stolarz are healthy they will have 5 goalies. It will get interesting

The thing is that's what the majority of people are saying, two morons think we are giving the coach all the credit. The coach just did his job and it was beneficial to the player. Nothing more, nothing less.

This "moron" will explain it further. It's not about who to give credit to, although you certainly did place way too much value on the talk. It's about why the improvement actually happened. Have there been any other beneficial talks given by the coach, specifically during the 8 game losing steeak?

Well... JJ and Jonesy warned both him and Voracek.... Voracek listened...

...and I will wait for the incoming "comments from the media have no effect on a NHL players existence, because they are super human beings that don't think like we do...." rant.

Jake has went from horrendous to bad. I would still trade him if given the opportunity. I think him as our 2nd best offensive weapon is part of the problem with the team that needs to be upgraded.

i would say life and psychology aren't as linear as you are making them out to be. we aren't privy to the frequency of talks, the talkee or talker's state of mind an the moment conversations happen, etc. But its great that everyone realizes that coaches can help players, and players can help players and players can help coaches.

incase you missed it Shawny Hill is suspended from doing the Flyers because of an incodent during the wings game.

Shawny said "Let's snip the ponytail." Which IMO is not racist or racially motivated... Just sounds like he is messing with a member of the opposite team...

However the crowd started chanting "Scalp him"... that is racist, but I dont think it was Shawny's intention for that to happen.

I hope he gets his job back. This kind of thing is happening too frequently. Can we just only fire people that are intentionally racist, sexist, etc?

meh - some of that in-arena nonsense can be done away with, imho

Doesn't always work, this time it did. JVR obviously did the work, the talk maybe shed some light on his play that he got away from. No one is discrediting JVR for playing better.

I wasn't aware and I'm certified to teach history. People can't be aware of every misdeed that has happened to every "group" of persons all-time.

IMO he was just messing with a guy that had long hair.... Like if he said to shave Burn's beard....

oh its fine. stop placing MJL on some kind of pedestal. conversing with him is just as beneficial as doing so with anyone else here as long as you're not saying "your opinion is wrong and mine is right"
