Has skin on it, several fingers and a wrist attached. Can be used for a variety of uses such as grasping and gripping.

Early reports indicate he may, in fact, have multiple hands. Awaiting confirmation.

Can you try to confirm if these other rumored hands also have several fingers?

three boxes (one of which is dvr) triple play plan. HBO, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME, STARZ, Center Ice...

The 4 movie channel were free originally because they royally (frank)ed me when I first got the service. I spent 19 hours on the phone with Comcast when I first got my cable in my new house. I was told originally not to get the phone line if I wouldnt use it because it costs more (even though that is complete bs, it saves you money)... My DVR didnt work even though it said it was recording.. I missed all of the Winter Classic event and the WJC. When I was explaining this to the guy on the phone he had the balls to ask me if people even really watch the WJC.. "I mean pro hockey is one thing, but are people really interested in that?" No ass hat, I am DVRing so that I cant delete it out of spite. Finally, after my wife tweeted them a pretty nasty comment, we were taken care of..... Until the $675 bill came in. Lets just say I wasnt too happy.

I just got into it with time Warner. Got my credit. I want to switch to direct tv but don't know if they replay games at midnight with the center ice package. Nice to have that in case something happen with the original broadcast

Episode 4 of flight plan.....Bruno Gervais visits a radio station?

So glad the Flyers decided to open up to the fans. These are the Flyers in a whole new light.

There is seriously no reason for Gill or Hall to make this team.

We need to role the dice with our young players in Lauridsen and VdV for depth purposes. The former won't even make the team anyways but can easily serve as the club's eight blue-liner while also sharpening his skills in the minors.

Laughton I'm indifferent about. Part of me wants to see him on this team but it wouldn't hurt for him to go back to the OHL for the year and play for Canada in WJC either.

One last note - I'm disappointed Cousins didn't make the team as a 4th line winger.

Hopefully not by us. Raffl deserves his shot.

The problem for waived guys is the same as for FAs, this summer, with the cap having come down, there are significant dollars missing from teams' ability to be flexible until they fix their rosters for opening night.

There's at least one reason to keep Hall...he's the best faceoff guy on the team. He's also a good PK guy and cheap. VandeVelde isn't exactly young, he's a 26 year old guy that has bounced between the NHL and AHL the last 3 seasons.

Cousins wasn't making the team from the outset, the Flyers want him to work on his two way game.

Cap hit isn't bad for what he brings, I'd be OK with him as a claim. He's got a decent shot to get grabbed by somebody at $1.5mm and one year left on his deal

If Hall isn't the 4th line center, it's a mistake, in my opinion.

Jsaquella, what would the projected 4th line look like for the opener in your opinion?

Who would man the other wing next to either Hall/VDV?

I'd go with:


Raffl or VandeVelde would probably be my choice as 4th line LW.

No, Hall has consistently been a better faceoff man over his career than Giroux, including last year.

Hall's FO% is better than Giroux's.

Something like 57% to 54% I believe.

Isn't the former slated to make the top nine or do you think Laughton will?

I think Max Talbot will. He's been playing third line as much as Raffl. Definitely possible Raffl is the 3rd line LW, with Talbot dropping to 4th line, though

Anyone know if we can watch the game locally... Comcast keeps showing phillies games from the mid 80's to early 2000's ....
