Nah. I use it to get the remote from behind the TV stand if it falls off. It's pretty handy.

Penguins, 3 penalties inside first 10 minutes of the game... Those other 4 minutes = missed opportunity.

Ever have the remote pop over the stick or slip off it and have the entire house bemoan you for it?

Anyone know how Sean Monahan is doing for his Junior team. I believe he plays for the Ottawa 67's.
- PLindbergh31

Funny thing is I really wanted Monahan in the 6-8 range. Oh how I can image your belly aching had the been able to make that pick and all the crying that they dint pick a D man

Only when the dog gets it and starts changing the channel arbitrarily from the back yard.

If he sticks with a channel there's not as much complaining.

I just hope the Flyers can overcome not drafting Hamilton or Matta.

I agree with you Bill. Isn't it a little asinine to allow a player to play, age disregarded, in the NHL, but be too old to play in the NHL? That's like allowing a kid to play 2 age groups up in a travel league- because he's good enough- but not allowing him to play up 1 age group because he's too young

In this case though, it's obvious Laughton is just toying with Juniors. It's pretty ridiculous. That being said, I kind of like it- it could be good for his development....let the kid play with some serious fire in his game because of the demotion. If that swagger translates into his NHL play next year, we could actually have a Mike Richards

Finally, in some news that either you guys and girls may or may not care about, I was officially progressed into my professional years and given my white coat and the "Student Pharmacist" title on Saturday! 3 and a half more years of hell!

Nich was like 20 on their best available prospects list, we weren't getting him no matter how high our pick

If this is true everyone in the flyers scouting and management team need to be shot.

Nah, they were just as wary about his situation with the KHL as most NHL clubs, which is the only reason he was even there at 10 to begin with.

Edmonton and Calgary should have won.
- mayorofangrytown


had roloson not gotten hurt in game 1 of the finals, they likely win that series. even still markanen got them to game 7.

and calgary did win. in game 6. they were flat out robbed.

None of those moves are knee jerk. To call them knee jerk ignores the Organizational planning and meetings with player personnel people, scouts, team execs, etc. to plan out an approach on how to better the team, that inevitably happened. I don't call going out and signing an established goaltender, who was a former Vezina finalist, and arguably the best goaltender available. Rather then relying on an unproven kid, knee jerk. To call it knee jerk lack objectivity. Put yourself in their shoes. They didn't get to make that call after the fact like you do. That monday morning QBing. It didn't work out. ..(snip).

signing bryz to a 9-year $51 million dollar deal when there was no other decent option on the market that summer after lava had bob on a leash designed for a hamster, after snider declares "never again" is knee jerk. 100%.

had bob handled himself reasonably well, and gotten them to say the 2nd round, and not been the reason they got swept, do you think snider would have publicly said "Never again"? not a chance. the coach bungled the goaliess, and they gave up on bob. you don't give a guy a 9 year deal to bryz, because you believe in bob.
it was a reaction to the playoff fiasco. knee. jerk.
