If time travel was a possibility, don't you think our future race would have come back by now and we would know? Crazy idea

Yeah, the best forward and best defenseman in the league on the same team. Even with Esche, you're guaranteed at least 1 Cup.

The 2nd-grade English teacher in me wants to take a red marker to your post -- paragraphs, sentence fragments, beginning sentences w/ conjunctions, oh my!

Our Editor-in-Chief just turned in his column to me this morning. He started five sentences with "But" and three of the eight paragraphs were a single run-on sentence.

It worked when they could give them those 10 year deals to even out the cap hit, now it's just not worth it anymore.

Can you imagining the Flyers trying to sign a player before free agency? People would have a field day on here talking about negotiations and inflated prices.

Not really. If Bryzgalov is back there is a significant chance he's beaten out by Mason.

1. Having a backup goaltender at a 5.6 million dollar cap hit is insanity.
2. Bryzgalov will become a huge distraction/malcontent and make the Flyers room a toxic environment.

The cord should be cut, and cut in the next few days.

I could be wrong, but I believe a levity is an old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

There is an alternative. Bryzgalov plays well. Mason plays well. And everything is fine.

A two year track record in Philadelphia suggest Bryzgalov won't play well. Fact.

Bryzgalov sure appeared to be a supportive teammate to Mason.

Maybe they have, but just so the don't influence history they dont say anything. Maybe it was future people and not aliens that helped build or civilization. Maybe UFO's our the future us coming back to visit.

It's time to move on from him. Give Mason a crack at the # 1 job, if he falls on his face, they are back at square one again.

Having a guy who is a huge distraction, at an enormous cap hit who puts up replacement level numbers is lunacy.

Things get tough around here. We only might be a little more mature then we were 6 or 7 years ago. Back then I could get ripped for the same thing (Spelling Errors and Grammar).

Red pen is banned in some school districts because it has a negative connotation, and we dont want to make the kinds feel like the did something wrong....

First, I don't work FOR any writer, especially one at this company. Second, no, we don't have a sports section. Third, when I did work for a paper with sports writers they were all losers. Every single one of them thought they were cool because they covered sports and two thirds of them couldn't take a lap around the parking lot or throw a ball in the direction they intended it to go.
