Not at all saying this is a move we should make but I would consider moving on from Hägg if to meant signing Tyler Myers. He’s a really, really good skater for a giant.

I think Provorov and Tyler Myers would be an interesting top pair. For everything we expect from Provorov, the kid needs a steady partner.

Had a dominant 3rd period....couldn’t help but think how many super stars are crapppping the bed in these playoffs.

Wow, anyone ever hear of these songs before?

Probably will be protests at WFC demanding the removal of her statue soon...

The fact someone decided she needed a statue in the first place is kind of ridiculous in itself.

Agreed. For me, the core’s time is up. I’m trading Voracek in order to switch up the player mix.

They’ve already had enough chances and been through enough coaches.
- StepfordSam

I'm ok with trading Voracek as long as the return is right. He makes a big number, so you are probably taking contracts back, which could be ok, depending on the players you get back. Voracek's absence creates a hole in the lineup that maybe can be filled from within or from the return you get in dealing him.

Insofar as "the core" is concerned, I really don't much know who would be left now that Simmonds is gone and Voracek might be the block. Giroux is untradeable (NMC) and he doesn't want to leave, so that's not happening.

Is AMac part of "the core"? Is Ghost part of "the core"? Ghost is, I guess, but I think you maybe don't want to trade Ghost at this time, because you'd be trading him after an off year.

It is.

I hope the Flyers do the right thing here and take it down.

Looks like Stevie Y is the new GM of the Red Wings.

depends on the cost. Wouldn't want to give him a big term. Good chance he gets overpaid.

Absolutely racist, but I don't understand what the point would be in protesting an inanimate statue. We've all done bad stuff we end up regretting later. I obviously don't know Kate and can't say what her thinking was, but there's always a chance she regretted this later in life.

However, agree with other posters. Not sure why a statue was created to begin with.

That song is as racist as it gets and it's indefensible. I'm happy to pretend she's sorry. That's fine with me.

It doesn't mean she needs a (frank)ing statue. Take it down.

luv Kate Smith

So silly

They reviewed that goal and under further review the goal was awarded to Jori Lehtera.

Perhaps they can replace Kate Smith's statue with a Lehtera one now.

It is.

There was a time that I called Couturier "Stone Hands" and didn't think he would be much higher then a 2nd-3rd line center. And I was ok with this just because of his defensive ability. Now that he is more of a 1st-2nd line player that can pot 25-35 goals a year I'm very happy.

Is Couts as valuable as Giroux? In his way, of course. But they really shouldn't be compared.
- youarewrong

The realest statement I've read all day.
Coots IS a guy who you win a cup with. He is a necessary part.
Comparing him and Giroux is apples and oranges but they are both necessary
I am hoping AV comes in and organizes this cluster and has these guys working to full efficiency. If AV makes that happen we are already a play off team. Add a few more pieces and I'm very confident in this group

A sad way for me to be glad to never have to hear that beat to (frank)ing death God Bless America rendition ever again

Need to cover up Jefferson too on mt Rushmore. He will go down as a racist slave owner.

Just to be clear, I was in no way defending this song and have no issue with the org cutting all ties. More speaking to the constant state of outrage people seem to be in.

On to hockey. And to change up some of the discussion in here. Assuming we don't bring back Talbot, who else is out there to potentially back up Hart?

Well it made more sense than a Rocky statue. Practically anything would

Because most people understand it was a different time and posthumously attacking people for being a racist when they are unable to defend themselves is cowardly, wrong, and is an attempt to rewrite history like 1984.

She never needed a statue, Ill agree there, but taking it down and tarnishing her memory is cheap politics and virtue signalling.

And Ill let you in on a little secret. EVERYBODY knew about these songs. At the time they weren't really considered racist.

Its good that we live in a different time with different feelings towards it, but to whitewash history and ban things because of something that happened before most of us was born is no different than banning Little House on The Prairie or Tom Sawyer because people got butthurt over their accurate portrayals of the language of the time THEY WERE WRITTEN.

To be honest I wanted them to stop the Kate Smith stuff long ago because I felt like it ran its course. But to do it NOW because of some BS 50-60 year old racism charge is nonsense.
