Degenerative foot condition killed his skating ability

I'm 25 and I have degenerative disks in my back. It sucks when a doctor looks at you and says "You have a problem and it's only going to get worse."

i've been away..

seems a little nutty already in here for preseason...

it's that way, because last year was an absolute clown show between the lockout, bryz, injuries, and not making the playoffs on the heels of homer striking out on all the free agents, like weber the summer before.

can't happen again.

I was a bigger fan of Hudson. Far better one-liners.

Things will get pretty crazy in here if they struggle. The discussion of system vs. players will play a large part.

They players play in a system where the system and the players do not mesh. They do not have a system for the players, and they do not have the players for the system. Systematically, the players must fit the system for the system to fit the players who adapt to the system.

Hopefully. I hate seeing young players' development get grossly mismanaged, no matter what team they're on. It's a waste of talent.

We haven't had the chance to watch them play. Maybe they've earned the tryout like Couturier and Laughton did.

Yea, I don't think the fanbase is going to have a lot of patience this year.

The questions as to agree or concur must be carefully evaluated. Much like a coach must evaluate his system compared to his players, where as the players do not have to evaluate the system per the coach. Meanwhile, agreeing to playing a system and concurring that the system if a fit for the players is left up to the coach who must systematically play the players who play the system most systematically. Do you concur?

By fanbase, are you referring to the average WIP listeners, the people who attend the games (a slight step up from the random WIP listeners), or the people on here?

I've been working all day. Any word on Laughton?
- PhillySportsGuy


He's still with the team, along (somewhat surprisingly) with VandeVelde. Doesn't necessarily mean he'll survive the final cuts.
