i'm hoping to hear about a player acquisition or trade that benefits the team..... not expecting one tho
- flyerscup2011

Right

I pray night and day for either a player or coach to say, "Hey Pierre, can you tilt your head the other way please?? The glare is killin my eyes, man..." and then go back to focusing on the game

Right.

Either team for me...not rooting. Just looking to be entertained by good hockey games.

how was that not called?

Jeez, if shooting high on Quick is the only way to beat him you would think everyone would do it all the time.

You answered. I offered a rejoinder.

It always makes me wonder why Edzo didn't score more goals when he played. He makes it sound really simple

This game has no energy. Like slow motion to start.
- stveshdy

zero energy.

hopefully that changes soon ... if I'm gonna root for the devils I want to at least be entertained.

Used to visit a bartender who was a little sensitive about his bald spot. One night while he was bent over fixing a drink in front of me, I acted like I was checking my teeth in the reflection off the top of his head. Needless to say, I waited for beers that entire summer.

Edzo scored 342 career goals as Emerick just said. Pretty solid career.

Nope.

That was an 11th grade vocab word.

You know how, for whatever reason, you always remember somewhere between 3-6 vocab words each year in high school?

Yeah. That was one of them

This is where your mistaken. My opinion on why the trades were made is based on facts. Facts that are indisputable. Such as the Cap situation before the trades, the lack of prospect depth in the organization, and the lack of top draft picks. Can I say for a fact why exactly they were traded. No I can't. Nobody but those on the inside can do that. But what I can do is base my opinion on the facts that are known.
The opinion you offer isn't based on any facts. I don't know how you can can say that your source for the alleged incident, and it is alleged, is super credible. It is complete hearsay. And is better served to be on TMZ or in the National Inquirer then to be offered as a fact.
When I'm dealing in the credibility and character of people I don't know or haven't met. Or rendering an opinion on a situation that I wasn't privy to all the information. I deal in the facts that are known, in coming to a conclusion. And I don't deal in rumors, innuendo, speculation, or hearsay that has been passed down through who knows how many people. Or from people that could possibly have an agenda. And I'm not going to pass judgement on two people based on any of that.

I will judge Hockey players from their play on the ice. Because I can see that with my own eyes and come to my own conclusion without any outside influence or anyone trying to force their own agenda on anyone.

if your offering as a fact "I'm the man". How good are your facts?

We agree on one point you've made as a fact. And that's that they were traded. That is a fact.

Im not talking about your factpinions... Realistically your cap fact is also just an opinion. I assume that you have factual evidence that the trades were made due to some sort of cap reason?

My facts were indeed facts. I did talk to Eric Tangradi's sister, who i know pretty well. that is a fact. Do i know if what she said is fact? Nope, but i never said it was a fact... just how it was funny that a week later they were traded.

I have never denied the possibility of them being absolute angels whose off ice antics were prestine and had no bearing on them being traded. Thats possible... but in my non-factually to semi-factually based unrealistic-realistic opinion... I think that they had some off ice issues that kinda got management thinking.

By the way, the whole I'm the man fact... is 100% factually sarcastic.. I have proof if you need it...

Everyone was a 30 goal scorer in those days. If he shot high more he'd have been a 60 goal guy.

Note: These statements are not based on facts

Granted, but that's still 35 goals a year for a decade. And yes I know Eddie O played I believe 15 seasons in the NHL.

Bobby Clarke has 16 more career goals than Olczyk.

The second sentence in my reply to you was, "my opinion is based on....". And I also stated in my reply that I can't state in fact, the exact reasons why they chose to trade the two players. If I need to highlight those statements, I can do so for you.

You say your facts are indeed facts and then say that you don't know what she said is a fact, and you never said it was a fact. Doesn't make sense.

It's June and Cliff Lee hasn't won a game.

Did someone tell the Phillies they are the Flyers, and the Mets are the Rangers? Absolutely being owned. Beaten from pillar to post by the (frank)ing Mets.

Clifton Phifer Lee has a sub 3 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and has- specifically- surrendered 13 runs in 51 innings on the season.

It's now June (for all intents and purposes).

He has zero wins.

None.

0.

Zilch.

How pathetic is this team? Jesus H....

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: It was MUCH longer....but alas....the boards were franked up

Would you mind?

I dont know why you get such a hard on when people state something you disagree with. By all means you could be right.. but by all means so could I.

I think that there was wayyyyyy too much smoke for there not to be even a lick of fire. The fact that other players around the league mock them offers the idea that its not just a local media thing that is played on.

AGAIN: I DO NOT HAVE ANY FACTUAL PROOF AS TO WHY THEY WERE TRADED. EVERYTHING I HAVE STATED IS EXPRESSLY OPINION BASED.

Phillies are a second half team. Saving it for after the All-Star break.

Not this year, with this offense. And don't say Howard will be the savior either
