And I don't sweat for a second not having any of those players.

It haunts me that they could have had Ryan O'Reilly w/ their 1st in 2009, and Justin Faulk with their 1st in 2010.

Pronger or Lupul, Sbisa, O'Reilly, Faulk?

One thing that hasn't been talked about a lot is how strong Couturier is becoming on faceoffs. He was a 53.3% coming into the Season. And he was at 80% in the first period.

i agree, but there should be no sacred cows.

but the main thing to remember is that any type of transaction that turns out well for the flyers was made by homer. any that do not were made by the other GM, Oz Mossis. i just learned that today

Ok period.
Read needs to calm down.
I almost wanted the Devils to score first to see how the team responded.
Giroux needs to get 1 or 2 goals and I think he will be fine. Hopefully that comes tonight.

It doesn't haunt me, especially when we don't know who they would've picked. And I'll take Pronger hands down.

That doesn't haunt me as their are too many other variables. Ricci over Jagr, that haunts me.

Couts is playing very well. His shot is off, but that's my only complaint.

They should rip him for these 12 games.
They can't rip him for the rest of his career to this point.

don't blame you there. things are going to be busy with this team, so we're all gonna want to post here.

there's so little no hope of them being a cup contender as they are presently constituted...and we're barely hanging on as a plyoff wannabe.

that happened way too fast since '10.

funny to say in a 1 zip game that's not even half over, but next goal is big.

Yeah...it's frustrating. I don't mind Pronger, because guys get hurt. I don't mind The Trades, I didn't like The Goaltender.

But even with all of that...we should still be better than this. We really should.
