It was a "win now and deal with it later" move that came within 1 OT goal of paying off.

It sucks to see Pronger injured he was such a beast to watch, one of my fav d men all time.

There's no room for him with Meszaros and Gustafsson fighting it out for the 6th spot.

no room in even the preseason?

Reports are that he finally progressed to being able to skate in a straight line without symptoms.

Just hope the dude can lead a normal second half of his life.

Okay. 1 OT goal and 1 win. The closest they've come since 1987.
- jmatchett383


Dating back to the 1976 Stanley Cup Finals, the Flyers are a mind boggling 1-16 in road Finals games. The lone win coming in Game 5 in Edmonton in 1987.

That is truly unreal.

They're off for a week. During that time, he can go back to the QMJHL and play in meaningful games.

Yeah for sure and it was just a freak way to get a concussion to see it you would never have thought it could do the damage it did.

MOAT and I are buddies. He would be offended if I didn't try and stab him in the eye everytime I was on the boards. (I get extra points for inappropriate comments or innuendos)...

Even if he was eligible to come back I seriously doubt they'd call him back so soon. Everyone knew he wasn't making the team this season. I think they are going to start trying some serious D pairings in the last few pre-season games...
Where does Streit fit? That kind of thing...

Technically yes, but I doubt they'd bring him back into the fold after the week of bonding in Lake Placid.

Don't be. To balance it out I'm fat, ugly and scary.

When I was young and poor children mistook me for Jesus. (Minus the robes)

Edit: Stop right there. I had on regular clothes. Jeans and a t-shirt.

Technically, there was no rule against it. Heck, Shea Weber only got paid $1M to actually play hockey last year.

Not sure how you fgure that.

He got a $13M signing bonus, and only received $1M for actually playing. If he sat out all season (or say there was some sort of work stoppage), he would still have gotten the $13M.

I always wondered if half-orcs could be good artists...

That said I bet you beat your self image needlessly. The person in my head doesn't look much like the person I see in the mirror...
And be glad you're a man, I was told today in my corporate job that I needed to dress more feminine if I wanted to advance in my career. I nearly choked him to death on his neon green polo shirt.
