Oi, he jumped. he should be suspended for eons. (but then Carcillo has had 9 suspensions in 9 years and he's still playing). honestly, these players are lucky i'm not in charge.

Flyers never lose their identity. Good or bad.
There is not many better games than Phily vs. Pittsburgh.

 

[Sonny21]

Yesss, Philly wins!

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yesss, Philly wins!

YAY!!

on a side note:
the World Cup of Hockey sounds dumb
6 normal teams (Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden, Russia and Czech)

then
a European All Star Team (okay there bud)

then a CAN-AM team 23 and under.
what the hell is the point?

That's actually a very interesting idea!!

all the best euro players combined(alot of the europe teams just have no depth and cant compete with the depth of say Canada or the US)

then that under 23 team vs all the vets could end up being very interesting

 

[Cor]

I like the Team Europe idea, because having the individual teams is a joke.

Young Gun team is where things are wonky. It's a World Cup. Come on now.

Sell tickets, merchandise, get hype to generate high revenues off of TV ads, get good TV ratings

Basically to make money.

Kind of a joke

Why do the Czech's get a team and not the Slovaks?

Same old same old, some guys never change.

Thing is, his teammates, GM, and Coach secretly agree.

That PHI-PIT game was entertaining as any game this season. The pure animosity was great, one of the best things about hockey.

That's a good thing for the sport. (Not the Rinaldo hit, the fights, and passion).

It was a great read. Even if you hate Avery I'd suggest people read it.

Or the Wealthy Barber for those that don't get per diem.

2nd time suspension for a slew foot, and Marchand only gets 2 games. I'd bet if it were a Leaf player, they'd get at least 4 games.

The Boston factor strikes again!

This is a great read. Highly recommend it.

Almost as if it wasn't written by the unlikable Sean Avery lol.

First the Patriots get caught cheating using under-inflated footballs, and now this. Not a good PR week for Boston.

Players just dropping like flies from ASG.

Really wanted to see sid there, he's missed a couple already with injuries.

Backstrom to Ovechkin, Jumbo Joe to Pavelski, Sedin twins to Vrbata. And also check chemistry of our players - pretty normal, and surprisingly JVR and Kessel are doing the same for each other.

He doesnt want to go and is using the "injury" as an excuse. Datsyuk and Lidstrom did it a few years ago.

Yeap I know. I get he wants rest but its supposed to be a fun weekend even for them just hanging around with players they normally play against. Not like its grinding work. But he's missed like every other one so not much of a difference
