Interesting. As a forward or a defenseman?

Absolutely, it's not one guy. As much as I female dog about Laviolette, I know that the Blame goes from the corporate suites to the ice.

I just hope they have a good offseason. As bad as they look now, they really aren't that far off from where they want to be if the right moves are made and we can finally get some luck in the health department.

I know. But I'm not trading for Burns alone. Could be a guy with the attitude the board has been discussing.

for people saying turnovers and the poopty defense is the reason Bryz numbers are horrific.

Turnover ranking (1=Most)
1. Buffalo = Miller (.911)
2. Pittsburgh = Fleury (.918)
3. Boston = Rask (.922)
4. Ottawa = Anderson (.952) Bishop (.922)
5. Carolina = Ward (.908)
6. Nashville Rinne (.910)
7. Toronto Reimer (.920)
8. Phoenix Smith (.901) LaBarbera (.918)
9. Florida Markstrom (.919)
10. New Jersey Brodeur (.907)
11. Flyers = Bryz (.902)

As with all stats, there's a layer of context that has to be considered.

Turnovers in the offensive zone count in these totals as much as a turnover in your own slot.

Yeah, Clowe could be a Prust sort of guy with more talent. They want an arm and a leg for him.

UFA at seasons end though, that would/should give the Flyers pause if they are thinking about him.

If SJ can get a first rounder + for Clowe that would be incredible. Why is Burns playing forward? Is he that bad as a d-man?

Sucks they gave up JVR. He had the blend of size and skill that we are missing up front. Hartnell could provide that to a degree if he can get his head out of his anus.


You have to keep in mind, the JVR for Schenn trade made a lot of sense in the context of the situation. They were scoring at will an had a solid defensive corps. With carle gone, Pronger not returning, and missing on weber and Suter, Schenn gets bumped up the list of guys that need to carry the defense instead of being a solid addition.

Like the addition of Schenn, but wish we could have hung onto JVR.

I believe the Union College game is on ESPNU at 6:30. I might have to switch between both games. I thought Ghost played very well against BC last night. I'm looking forward to seeing him play again, he seems to be a very intriguing prospect.

Also, in today's news that isn't really news, Crosby is out indefinitely with a broken jaw.
I kinda knew that when I saw 2 of his teeth flying out of his mouth.

It was as much to shake things up as anything else. Clowe's been really having a rough go.
