Oshawa has a really good team this year.

To be honest all pre-season it was expected they'd be a middle of the road team or rebuilding, Laughton going back has given them a ton of confidence

Couts played on the 4th line rookie year
3rd line last year on a pretty bad team
3rd line, no chance at the top 6 on a terrible team thus far

Tell me how him being an absolute rock defensively is disappointing?
I guess shutting down Malkin 11/12 was disappointing?

Schenn I can get. But these guys are (frank)ing young. Look what happened with JVR
Everyone ran him out the door at a tender age
Then he got a chance
And now look how good he's playing

Don't give up on young players

JVR wasn't run out of town because of some fans' opinions about him. C'mon now

My personal favorite was the 'mini-stick' crap w/ Pitkanen... we'd all kill for a homegrown 40+ pt dman right now, but we had no trouble chasing that guy out of town all over something as inane as an unconventional equipment preference.
- Tomahawk

yeah, who needs 40P OFD whos relatively responsible defensively anyways?

True story, I gave a coworker 50-1 odds on whether the Flyers would score 3 goals tonight and he wouldn't take it. That speaks to how horrendous our offense is.

I'll bring you down, Cole Cassels has 4 goals he was taken 13 picks after we took Tyrell Goulbourne in the 3rd round of this past draft.

He had one goal while coots marked him and the only reason he got it was because Malkin went the other way when coots went in on a short handed rush......that's why you have to hear about it
- KINGKENZO


Maybe you are right..Ill have to go look.
What I know is Datsyuk V2 hasn't done much over the past 2 seasons..maybe that will change.

Some of us are mature enough to discuss that... some of us are not... therefore, no.

I will say this though. I would of made the Weber trade then and would make it now. But the Preds wouldn't, which tells you a lot. Having Weber, this team could mask some of it's problems.

He provides a little bit of that Sean O'Donnell stability. Like it so far.

Talk about head scratching. Flyers are 2-0 against the teams we said they can't beat and need to get better against (Rangers/Devils). 2-9 vs. the rest. Sad in a sense.

I'm digging the handlebar 'stache. Very Slap Shot-esque.

So the 4th line cycles and spends 45 seconds in the O zone, and generates good offensive momentum. Rinaldo sends it back to the point, where it's dug off the boards by Mezsaros annnnnnd......

....is played to center ice? Nice one Mez.
