Where did you get them from?
- Rinosaur


Parkside Beef and Ale, this little hip hop bar by the Marriot downtown. I was the only white guy in there. Damn good cheesesteak.

I was over in Jersey for work and we got some cheesesteaks from some local pizza place over there that was solid.

And the last place I went to was Jims on south Street. Everyone told me to stay away from pats and genos. I wanted a good cheesesteak not the tourist attraction.

Today the World Chess Championship begins, Italian-US prodigy Fabiano Caruana challenging the Mozart of chess and year-long reigning champ Norwegian Magnus Carlsen... any chess players here?

(And btw., can it be that our Down Under Uber representation is in the penalty box currently? )

Pat’s is honestly pretty solid, but definitely not the best.

Next time you need to go to Tony Luke’s.

Wow what a week Chabot is having for fantasy, for so cheap and still has 2 games left.


- MattStrat


I’ve been picking him every week just about. He’s always been great value, but this week it’s nuts.

I picked Eric Staal and he’s literally got me no points so far. Boeser being injured has also hampered me, but I’m still beating my opponent.

It would make sense. He's good at appearing like he's the victim here, but he's really quite the instigator and just floods each thread.

This season Coyotes have scored 9 goals shorthanded, while giving up just 4... yesterday Flyers went 0-4 on man adv. but got 2... hopefully our PP will be better prepared tomorrow, as they may try to take a lot penalties... maybe we better decline some.

Tong Lukes is the best. Delassandros is OK. The roast pork place is located in reading market, I forget the name, but it’s very good

Oooh I spent some time in the reading Market. I got a bunch of doughnuts there and some really (frank)ing good jerky. Some garlic jerky and the same deer sticks. Reading Market was a really cool place. It was right across the street from my hotel.

Yeah that was it. I got a blueberry fritter and a chocolate peanut butter cream. I wish there was an Elvis one but it’s stupid pumpkin season so there was like 9 different pumpkin ones.

Mackey on the radio just said a Sprong trade is "inevitable" and he would be surprised if it didn't happen by Saturday.

Now.... I have to be honest, he said the same thing about Cole long before he was eventually traded at the deadline.

I really think that kid is going to thrive somewhere else when he gets more minutes and not shunned for making mistakes.

Wonder what his value is around the league? Is it going to be a swap of under performing prospects? I also wonder if it will be a package deal.

That is where it gets strange. Not many 2015 draft players are going to be considered under performing necessarily.

Maybe a swap for say Jacob Larsson of Anaheim? IDK just spit balling.

I don't follow prospects so I have no idea. The one name Mackey mentioned was Zykov from Carolina. At least I think that's the name he mentioned.

What do you guys think of either? (Just a brainstorming thought if the rumors of Arizona or LA being in on Sprong)

Pens: Lawson Crouse, Michael Grabner and a draft pick

Coyotes: Sprong and Rust

It would provide a shake up. It provides us with Grabner who has been excelling and has 2 SHG this year. He could add additional speed to our team and Crouse could add a young power forward who has 2 goals this season in front of the net (could learn from Horny to improve his skills).


or

Pens: Muzzin, Pearson (another player and or pick added but unsure would love to add Iafallo into this trade, but I am unsure how realistic it would be).

LA: Hagelin, Maatta, and Sprong

Of course I think there would be more to this trade, but it would be swapping of 4 players that I feel could use a change of scenery (Muzzin, Pearson, Maatta, and Sprong). It would provide us with Pearson who is a solid player who is defensively sound, has good speed, and has a very good shot. Muzzin who is a big top 4 defenseman who previously has shown to be solid. I think either Hagelin or Rust would be added in a trade (I can see one replacing the other especially if we can add some offense at LW). I am unsure of the addition from LA maybe Iafallo due to his speed, talent, and potential (could be possible if Maatta and Sprong are headed the other way).

Otherwise I could see a simple 1 for 1 player swap (even though I feel JR is looking for a bigger shake up to occur).

Hagelin is still faster than average.
