greatest hockey beard ever.

I loved Lanny. Crosby gives him a run for his money.

Women in Italy laugh at Crosby's playoff beard.

no way flyers are "in" on everyone

yeah i understand rumors this time of year are ridiculous. but the couturier to the flames one on the front page? way out of left field for me. i cant even think of a compatible match there

it depends on what they get him for. i would have assumed he would be pulling in around 4.5 a year, which i would have thought would have made him a nonconsideration from the start

How much of a raise will Sutter get next offseason?

Multiple high number 1 picks plus a player would do it for me..
- opeth_pa

I'm puzzled at why you think Sean Couturier could do this for us in a trade.

- PhillySportsGuy

hm. i know its a cop out answer but i think that has a lot to do with how he plays this year. from what i hear there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings on him. i personally like him, but i dont think he has done anything to merit mega bucks when hes still in rfa status. although you never know, contracts are ridiculous anymore

He is retired
- nonpoint22

Perfect. 8 years $80 mil.

WOW Alfie to det. its done

Jagr or Gagne, pick
- aosplayo

Gagne, but I'm greedy so want both.

don't understand the calgary rumor. Probably already said, but unless they are getting back sven baertchi and picks, it doesn't seem like they would get any immediate help from the nhl roster, so sounds like bunk to me.

Only reason I'm still skeptical of the Flames rumor is because none of the Canadian talking heads have uttered word one about him being available. You'd think they would be all over this if it were the case.

Good answer. Id take either, though I lean toward Jagr just because he slows things down so much along the boards and creates time/space. Whoever is cheaper

Could be a ploy to get his name out there to draw in more interest? Agree though zero fit for that trade.

I like him a lot. He's a very good player to have with Crosby and Malkin. I have a feeling he will cost more than people think.

Expect Emery to sign with Flyers. Expect a 1 yr deal. Strategic move to establish starter role and bigger $$ down the road.

Dreger says one year deal. I'm ok with that!

Just wanted to say, in case it hasn't been said, it's always a pleasure having you in here to talk hockey with.

- the deaninator

Sounds bunk to me too....only reason why I am giving any credence is because whoever this Rich Smith guy is, he seems to have good sources especially when it comes to the flyers....he has called some moves before anyone else

That would be amazing

Skip a little late but congrats on the baby. Also new Daft Punk album is amazing fyi, per our Tron Reconfigured discussion a while back. Hope youre getting some sleep with the new addition.
- aosplayo

Thanks, (wo?)man!

I have listened to the Daft Punk album on Rhapsody. It's different but fun and enjoyable.

Got some sleep the night before last but that was undone by a severe lack of sleep last night. Thankfully I bought Dunkin Donuts hot tea and someone in the office brought in Wawa coffee.
