I really like the shows (some bits more than others), but the movies remain my favorite. Well, except that awful fifth one. And those disappointing TNG movies.

Also, did I really hear about a supposed Nabokov to Philly rumor?

He's Flagg now, so I guess he's acknowledged his lack of a sense of humor.

Apparently Niity found out that he was on waivers from the news and he's not real happy..

Apparently everyone who thinks he could be a top 4 shut down type defenseman with little offensive upside.

If I knew, which I don't, that Schenn was going to develop into a top pairing defensive defenseman, I'd think about doing it even up.

I'm in that boat as well. Both have a plethora of potential - but in the end, I value defense first.

If I was sure he was I'd do it, too...I think he's more a really good second pair guy, fringe first pair guy at his best,

He's got good size and decent wheels, and shows flashes of offensive ability, and he's a very willing physical player. Just not sold that he'll be that top pair shut down guy.

I think 4 cups since 97 appeases a lot of the fans.. I know I'd love it if the Flyers had their track record since then. cry..

Howard didn't look so great. The fourth goal, he got hit with a shot, big fat rebound into the slot, and he had zero idea where the puck was.

But the Red Wings are getting schooled all over the ice.

The first tweet I got he was sounding like he understood why. THen I got a tweet where he said he didn't want to be part of the organization anywhere any more. Suppose I need to see the full thing before thinking he took it well.

I agree, I'm not sold on it either. Although I think he's going to be a solid player as he develops. My other issue is that unless they're going to add someone else, I think they're going to lose a lot of puck movement and offense if they lose Carle, and Pronger doesn't come back.

Are you sold that JvR will be a first line talent? Will he ever be what we think? Im sure both players have flashed potential but that kind of trade is one that has to be a need for your team. I always say its easier to find a foward than it is to find good defenseman. I dont know if I would do the deal staight up but if Toronto tossed in a pick, I think I would pull the trigger on that deal.
