how? he sucks

When I'm on my phone, I don't read so much as go through the names/avatars and stop on my favorites/ones whose opinions I value. It's easier to catch up that way. If nothing's going on that piques my interest, I'll skip posting altogether for a bit until I feel there's a convo worth getting into.

I find it funny in age of "tolerance" how intolerant people are.
- Flyskippy

I'm stuck on a couch and bored out of my mind. I have a cold in addition to the PCS, so I can't really go out, and honestly with the TDL approaching, I'd rather stay and watch NHLN and twitter to see what goes on.

Whew! And here I thought Skippy was gonna read all those negative comments I had to say about him. Glad I skate by on that!
Have I told you recently I wanna be you when I grow up?

Please do elaborate (no but seriously I'm curious)

Paul Holmgren has been known to acquire/award players with big $$/long term contracts, and then when necessary, trade them away for less than market value. Recent example is JvR who, while Schenn has been fine on D, could have probably fetched more. Gagne is another example. I like him, but he sometimes comes off as a react first and deal with the consequences later (i.e. Pronger's over 35 contract).

I like Clowe but the Flyers must say no.
- DRSeuss

You dont like him in the box?

Well.. you better, as a GM, have more sense than to hope a low pick nets you a Cup win in a few years' time. There are many teams to get good players in the early portions of the first rounds over the last 20 years that haven't sniffed a deep Cup run.
- Flyskippy

Hope is one thing, expectations are another. I'm desperate for something to root for, lol.

Abridged version: Trade now, cap later.

I just had this image of a cartoon Holmgren jumping up and down on a cardboard box (with various limbs escaping) screaming. "GET IN THE BOX!"

My wife's back has been aching since baby-to-be's gotten bigger, so the sleeper couch has been a godsend. We both get to sleep without fear of bumping the other person.

I've foolishly retreated to the basement after eating breakfast late, because the cool air helps the nose/sinuses feel better, but when the Vicodin kicks in I might be crawling upstairs, literally, to go lie down.

If that happens, I'll switch to Twitter just to keep half-an-eye on trade proceedings.

Meh. I have the Flyers to root for. Always have. Always will.

Whew! And here I thought Skippy was gonna read all those negative comments I had to say about him. Glad I skate by on that!

You can always root for Bruce Campbell in whatever it is he's doing.

I see, kinda like what I do in NHL 13 . In all seriousness though even if the cap isn't an issue I just don't see how a deal could be made for Vanek between the two teams. Myers maybe but Vanek highly unlikely...unless a third team is inolved

how? he sucks

don't you realize by now that every single move equates to dominoes?

Rosehill to wear #37

That car perfectly is a metaphor for Flyers' cap space.

I wasn't really going there (I'm a die hard). I'm talking roster wise. I'd love to see a young kid develop into a number one D here.. be fun to watch.

I'm so envious of your aggressive of GM who doesn't give a rats ass about the cap.
- Sabresfan-365

It has good and bad moments. He's unpredictable - which makes it exciting sometimes and infuriating others. He's respected and hated by other GMs... When the league makes up rules to stop your GM specifically from doing things then you know that he really gives a poop.
I personally like Holmgren we could be much worse off.
