    July NHL News/Free Agent Frenzy

    Neuvirth to the Flyers Depends on your definition of dirty. Rinaldo runs guys but it's more stupid hits than deliberate dirtiness. Downie's stuff, you watch what he does and there's clear intent.

    July NHL News/Free Agent Frenzy

    Since as I recall we had separate news and free agency threads last year, I thought why not combine it, since much of the July news will be FA related in some way anyway.   NHL Network has a Signing Season show at 10AM leading up to their Free Agent Frenzy show starting at 1. Pretty meh UFA...

    Bruins acquire Zac Rinaldo from Flyers

    I probably like Zac Rinaldo more than 99% of Flyers fans. But he is what he is, and I don't see Julien playing him because of the occasional stupid crap he pulls. Feels like Sweeney could have found a grit guy who's a bit more responsible and functional as a player. Especially if he was willing...

    Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Gamethread

    Yea, the Flyers sucked against non-playoff teams in general ;) Tampa is fast, they're fun to watch.

    Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Gamethread

    Yea I was killing Capuano the other night for not pulling Halak earlier, especially with a power play.

    True, but that's regular season. I knew TB won the season series, but I didn't realize how lopsided it was.

    And Tampa advances. Not sure how they'll fare vs the Habs though.

    Best Player/Worst Skater

    Most of mine have been named already (Robitaille, Kerr, Andreycuk, Hartnell). Most of the power forwards didn't have great wheels (Stevens, Tocchet). Mike Knuble was a turtle.

    2015 NHL Draft

    I don't know about Bettman. Toronto as a market thrives regardless, he would probably rather have had one of his crap expansion/relocation markets get him. Arizona or Miami or Raleigh, one of those.

    2015 NHL Draft

    Greg no, if you wanted to be AIDS you needed to keep Neal. Or Cooke. You definitely do. But mainly I'm thinking about the media frenzy that would ensue if the Leafs won. Also you had one, nobody forced Nonis to trade Clarkson. Or maybe they did.

    That sucked. Nice lead-in to game 2 of Cancer vs AIDS

    2015 NHL Draft

    Jesus Christ...McDavid should pull a Lindros. At least it wasn't Toronto.

    2015 NHL Draft

    I'm oddly confident about this. McDavid will be a Flyer. Now if it was the Celtics, I swear they could have all the balls and still lose.

    Bruins: post mortem

    You guys are in a rough spot with that roster in that you've got a #1 goalie and a group of forwards in their primes and a D corps that's either young (Hamilton, Krug) or old/broken (Chara/Seidenberg). I'd explore dangling Lucic for a top-2 D if possible. They're too good to just blow it up. I...

    April NHL game thread

    I hope you guys are practicing...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9dUAs6H4EU   Personally I was really hoping the B's would have some breathing room at this point, and the Flyers could dress 20 random fans from the seats and just blatantly screw the Pens.

    March NHL Game Thread

    Not sure if you guys have seen this before, but remember when we were waving goals off because "I intended to blow the whistle"? Well yesterday the Sharks scored a goal when the ref (I forget who it was and I'm too lazy to look it up) lost sight of the puck, blew the whistle, and then it went...

    Do the Bruins Make the Playoffs?

    I voted yes. Ottawa is hot but no way that lasts IMO. That said with the Leafs 3 times and the Flyers on the schedule the Sens have an easy road.
