Flyers' theme song:

I can't ague. I've watched a few Dallas games this year and Jags is still very good. Slower skater, but everything else is there. He's still a master at protecting the puck. Shooting, passing....it's all there.

I've also watched some Calgary and I've got to say Iggy hasn't impressed me all that much. Has his moments, but he's not a dominant player. Of the two, I'd choose Jagr as far as pure talent...admittedly from limited viewing.

I do think Iggy would be a perfect fit in the toughness and leadership areas.....which I still think is a missing ingredient here.

Make no mistake about that: Jagr was my childhood idol. I'd pick him talent wise over almost everyone but you already gave the reason why I'd choose Iginla for this team right now (for a cup run).

Tangent good evening before you get banned. He threatened to ban me game 1 of the season and I'm still not sure what I did. I got the tread lightly post. Power goes to the head!!!

Hey lloyd...I don't feed the trolls much and I try not to contribute trollish posts, so I'm usually pretty safe (though some kind of warning when cpf is low on meds would be nice).

Enjoy the game!

Maybe something in this game can set you over the edge. I've also never been banned. No Canadian not seriously!!!

If you go by practice today... He was doing extra work with the other scratches. sucks. I don't get it either.

Eng and Bortuzzo pairing was not good in the last game. Scary actually.

naturally you'd pick out a picture book when someone told you to find something to read.

He's from Calgary. They struggle with reading.

Sometimes I think I would be happy with a coaching change.

Let's hope for a good game from them. Lay big hits and frustrate some Flyers guys.

If I start getting upset, I close the laptop and put the cat in a pillow case and spin the crap out of him. That usually alleviates the tension.

They just admitted to shooting the puck at Boughner!!! We should get to suspend a current player.

Ask me after this game...

How did despres go from one of our best defensemen a week ago to a scratch behind bortuzzo

I've been banned twice since 2008. Both during this lockout, both on visits to the Flyer's board. Basically informing them that their hatred for Crosby is likely a man crush (or something to that effect) both times 100% deserved.


Game Time, love me some Penguin Flyer games.

He played a couple of sketchy games paired with Engelland.

Trust him much more then bortuzzo

Am I the only one happy about all the games on NBC sports net? Emrick is light years better than steigy. I miss Lange and edzo.

His value isn't on the 3rd pairing with Engelland. He's a very good compliment to Letang.
