Apparently the Flyers are haunted by Bob.

I like doughty but if I'm trading coots it's gotta be puck mover. Doughty is schenn with a little better wheels and a little more offense ability. Rather have subban

Doughty can skate the puck. Dude has much better wheels than Schenn.

Are you saying that Doughty isn't a puck mover? Doughty is one of the top puck moving defenseman in the entire NHL. And is a much better player then Subban is. The comparison to Luke Schenn couldn't be more off base for Doughty. Doughty is more along the lines a comparable to Nik Lidstrom. Did you watch the NHL playoffs last year?

The Honeydrippers is the most ignored great line-up of all time. Page, Beck, Nile Rodgers and Brian Setzer on guitar, Plant and even Paul Shaffer

I think you're making snap decisions off a small window of games. Doughty is a franchise defenseman. Voynov is a damned good player, too, kind of like a Yandle type player.

Doughty is the truth.

His production is down as far as points go but he's a stud when moving the puck.

I remember finding the cassette and buying it. It was a great little EP. "Sea of Love" got the attention (mostly because of the video), but "Rockin' At Midnight" is a great song.

Why exactly will it be different in a year or two?
- MJL

Are you watching kings game? Voynov is clearly better puck mover, more scoring ability, better passer, better hockey sense. Doughty is more physical. The difference is doughty was brought up young ( out of necessity) voynov was aloud to develop in minors. With a season or two voynov will have much more experience. He's already better in many areas. Projection.

Voynov is not better in any way then Doughty is. Doughty is a franchise defenseman that is Norris Trophy caliber. Voynov is not. Good young player and a solid defenseman. But not on the level of Doughty.

Doughty is one of the top puck moving defenseman in the entire NHL. Voynov is not.

Whew.

My dad bought their first record (he used to be an "oldies DJ" when "oldies" meant 1950's & 1960's music) and got me into many groups I'm into today: The Four Seasons, The Five Satins, The Beatles (though he hated them and loved them at the same time), and Led Zeppelin. I remember when he brought home a new copy of the Led Zeppelin IV record (to replace his first worn-out copy) sometime in the mid-80's. He let me borrow it and I played it on my player.

Mind. Blown. I started collecting their stuff on both LP (to listen in my room) and cassette (to listen on my walkman as I delivered newspapers).
