So, when he was playing very well in top pairing minutes as a key part of some Flyer wins down the stretch last season, did the whole league know he was a star? If not, then why do they think he's a bust after looking at a similar sample size this season?

The dude is 24, it is generally accepted that D men take longer to develop than forwards...most with that view look at the 25-27 age range before making conclusions about D men being busts or not, unless it is extremely obvious, which isn't the case here.

Luke Schenn is never going to light up the scoreboard...his value lays mostly in playing strong, physical defense and making solid plays with the puck. While it's true he has had some ups and downs, that is to be expected from a young D man as he makes his way in the NHL. Schenn may not be this player you seem to want him to live up to, but he will get better at the things he does and is expected to do over time. This stint, in the doghouse etc., is just part of the player's development.

Should have done it the Presidents way and just given the Media's family positions in governement to pay for the positive coverage....

•ABC News President Ben Sherwood, who is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national-security adviser to President Obama.
•His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes, a key foreign-policy specialist.
•CNN’s deputy Washington bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Tom Nides, who until earlier this year was deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton.
•White House press secretary Jay Carney’s wife is Claire Shipman, a veteran reporter for ABC.
•NPR’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel’s office in April.
•The Post’s Justice Department reporter, Sari Horwitz, is married to William B. Schultz, the general counsel of the Department of Human Services.

- youarewrong[VP] Biden’s current communications director, Shailagh Murray (a former Post congressional reporter), is married to Neil King, one of the Wall Street Journal’s top political reporters.

I dont see anyone from FOX news on there...


Not sure how one relates to the other.

Anyway, I'm guessing the criteria for "news" wasn't set so low that Fox could get in.

Someone's cutting and pasting from the Rush Limbaugh site again.

I'm waiting for Scarlett Johansson to run for office.

Ugh...Wolf Blitzer.

Yeah, haven't had the energy to be angry with the Flyers and keep up with other teams. It's just too exhausting.
