I watched almost all of Berube's games when he played as a Flyer and I really believed he was born to be the Flyers head coach and he'd be such a good fit for the team and the city.

Wow, you guys wouldn't know an insider obviously if you tripped over him. I am completely inside this silly organization in various layers and you know what? The more you find out about the upper stratus of the org, the less interested in the team you become.

This is a team that has drafted only four or five really good players in the last 25 years. Wendel Clark, Vincent Damphousse, Alexanders Steen, Tukku Rask and now Morgan Rielly.

They essentially blew it with the previous four, after stealing Sundin for Clark in the first place, they completely bungled things by trading back for Clark and losing all kinds of assets? Why? Because Clark was married to someone in MLSE and they wanted Clark and the wife back in Toronto. Who does that?

Damphousse, was traded for coal, Rask was traded for one of the worst goalies in Leaf history, and Steen was traded for a third liner.

Now they are beating on Kadri, who was coerced into putting on twenty pounds his first season with the Leafs by the joke a trainer that the Leafs employ.

And of course they are jerking around Jake Gardiner who many still consider to have even more physical potential, than even Rielly himself.

Its a poopshow, and now they hire Brendan Shanahan, a la Ken Dryden who never shed a drop of blood or sweat in a Leaf uniform.

However, if they suddenly develop a brain and keep R.C. for this year, it does indicate that Lieweke and Shannahan understand the necessity of getting a top two pick next year.

his name is shotgun cause he was all spread out with the passenger seat all to himself.

when i asked him how he got the other dogs to go along with that he said "i called shotgun."

so i call him shotgun.

I feel like middle dog is somewhat underrated in all of this.

he was scared i think. it's funny because i saw them in there so i went back to my car to get my phone. but when i took the picture there was a glare on the window and i really couldn't see what they were doing or where they had moved to until i looked at the picture later. that scared one was laying on the armrest (he totally fit with room to spare) before i took the picture so clearly by the position and the look on his face he thinks i am there to abduct them.

guy in the back is just high as hell and doesn't give many (frank)s where he ends up.

Without reading Bill's blog yesterday I wanna give my opinion of Lecavalier's role on the team without any influence.

Lecavalier's role to me is no different from Danny Briere. He's basically a bigger, stronger Danny Briere. Briere played with Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn and now Lecavalier...should have. All this confusion of whether or not Schenn should play center or wing should have been resolved long before Tampa Bought out Vinny, because this question has been an issue the past two seasons prior to this one.

Many openly admit that they never liked the Lecavalier signing but I've always felt the signing was a bargain and necessary. A year ago we failed to make the playoffs due to weakness and inexperience at center. Outside of Giroux, we were awful at faceoffs. Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier and Max Talbot were not getting the job done. So Homer rightfully brought in the experience of Adam Hall and Vincent Lecavalier.

Now, I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but Vincent Lecavalier was brought in for secondary scoring at center. He's spend his entire career in Tampa playing center. It's not Homer's fault or even Lecavalier's fault that Berube has kept him on the wing for at least half of his season when healthy. I feel it was no accident that Vinny began to play well on the fourth line once he was finally placed in his rightful position. I don't think him having chemistry on the fouth line had anything to do with it because Vinny saw time with Hall, Rinaldo, McGinn and Rosehill in this span. I just think it just had more to do with him playing where he belonged.

You know, it's funny. I felt near the end of the season that Schenn and Simmonds looked like complete nonfactors more often then not five on five without Lecavalier. I thought Lecavalier completely out played them both in the playoffs until Simmonds scored a Hat Trick in game 6. Then again Simmonds does most of his damage on the Power Play. I felt Lecavalier played better then a lot of players in the playoffs. These names include Brayden Coburn, Scott Hartnell and Kimmo Timonen (who I felt was the worst player on the team).

I'm fine with Vincent Lecavalier. I feel if he had was able to stay healthy, he would have been even better then he was. The guy still managed to pot 20 goals even with the miserable season he's had with a limited role and three different injuries. I tip my hat to him.

Personally I blame a number of issues the team has on Chief. The team has heavily relied on the Power Play this season for wins. The PP was 10th in the league. Great on the road, crap at home. I believe Berube should have tried something different. With Timonen likely to retire, this team is in a transition period. Why not put Mark Streit on this first unit? He was brought here to post points and he's done so but probably could have done more if seeing regular first unit time. Vincent Lecavalier in my opinion could be much more effective then Scott Hartnell on the PP. Lecavalier easily has the best shot on the team and I believe had the best shooting percentage on the team during the regular season.

Now obviously Craig Berube isn't entirely to blame for the team's lack of success but I am seeing a lot of John Stevens in him. I didn't like Stevens as a coach here. His lack of emotion and not screaming at the team when they deserved it, really rubs me the wrong way. It makes me feel like these two guys ( Stevens, Berube) are letting the players off the hook. I really miss Peter Laviolette. I miss him screaming to a point where his face turned red, punching Ville Leino's helmet and calling time outs at key times because he never stopped coaching. it's just a shame that he couldn't adjust his system to be more defensive.

What's definitely apparent, the team has to start outworking the other team. From my understanding, you seriously had to be in shape to play Lavy's system and even Lavy himself did drills with the team.

I digress.

I think many expect Vinny to magically be traded this offseason. Sure a team like Toronto could use a number one center but it's not that simple. I believe Lecavalier has a No-trade of some sort and no matter what, he's in the driver seat of where he wants to play. Whether it be here or wherever he feels comfortable playing. The only player I think it's time to move on from is 6 million dollar, 39 year old Kimmo Timonen for the good of the team and for the good of Kimmo's future. I love Kimmo Timonen but we've rested him quiet a bit this season at times, during big games no less. To me, that's not a good sign. Sorry, Hockey is a business and I don't think the haters can just wish Vinny away. What I do know, after watching what Justin Williams, Patrick Sharp, Jeff Carter, Ben Eager and most recently Dan Carcillo have done to us in recent years, I'd live and die with our youth.

so I log on to the (frank)ing store and it shows all floor seats sold out (probably pre-sales and wwe fan club and poop I guess).

anyway I enter all billing info and it puts me in the store but now floor seats are unstruck so I click on those fully intending to betray peanut and his brother.


I get REJECTED by the system so I pick best 5 seats available and it gives me 5 poop seats.

I click search again not thinking it had counted the initial floor seats search as one of my two available searches so I get KICKED OUT OF THE STORE!

I get back in immediately and it gives me 5 poop tickets up in the sky ($50).

I said (frank) that and searched again and it got me those which look pretty good.


view toward the TITATNTRON, probably less homos with signs and in the range we were looking for
