I wonder why if he's not 100% they would play him? I am perfectly fine with Gervais playing until Mesz is ready. Maybe it's one of those..he can't do any damage to itand just needs games to get into shape.

I hear he's been rubbing the tussin on it twice daily. Should be back to 100% in no time.

That was fast. I don't think Gomez will get signed that quickly.

That's definitely a worry. If some of the stronger teams in the NE and SE dominate their Divs maybe it'll shake down that we make it. I think the Rangers are gonna be hell to beat for everyone and I don't see why everyone is taking Pitt to win it all.
- Hextall271



I watched that TSN preview and just as many picked the Rangers to win it all as the Penguins.

And 1 guy took Carolina, just to be different.

Is anyone else worried about Wellwood being a center? He only had 35 face-offs last year (despite winning 51%). I know we have 2 centers playing wing in Schenn and Talbot, one center is a rookie, and I know Briere's out, but I just wonder how he'll fare.

There's a few folks that expect him to be signed this afternoon.

One year deals are not a hassle. They can sign him for under $900K and if he sucks, bury him in AHL, no cap hit and he's gone in July

He might be serious, but he's wrong. Laughton's wearing JVFoppa's number

Sounds like Hovinen heading back to Finland on loan to KalPa from Flyers per Iltsa Sanomat.

I don't see Munroe being sent down, and I figure Boosh will get the majority of the time. I guess they can go with 3 goalies, I'd just prefer Heeter to get some work. Then again, with Wedgewood starting the majority of games for Trenton, might not happen.

Munroe can't be technically sent down, his deal is with the Phantoms, not the Flyers...The Phantoms could loan his deal to Trenton.

Still looks weird to me when a non-fighter type wears #21 for the Flyers.

Numbers never meant that much to me...just a way to identify a player while watching.

Don't really know that he will play Center. Fedetenko is capable of playing Center.
