Carter showed his true colors with his response to the trade... and his subsequent slacking off in Columbus... what a tool.

They made the perfect running mates: The angry self absorbed egotist and the sulky pretty boy jock.

I never thought that's what they would become when I started following them. I hope they're better people in California with a couple more years under their belts.

The beats, and the fans, tend to wear anybody's patience down to a nub.

Where's all that Fraud Giroux talk now, I wonder?

Richards' game was far more versatile and frankly, I never cared how he treated the press. I just liked the way he played.

Carter could hang numbers, but just found his game to be lacking for what I think a center should do. The problem I observed was that he could only be effective at center as a Flyer.

Scott Laughton (PHI) named captain of OHL stars. It won't surprise me if he's a strong candidate to be captain of CAN's nat'l jr team.

What does the media mean when they say " the flyers are quietly shopping Brayden Schenn" ?

How do you "quietly" shop a player?

Yes I am being snarky.

They're simply dropping hints that if somebody wants to trade them a very good young defenseman, they won;t hang up the phone if the other GM mentions Brayden Schenn's name.

I imagine the opposite is Holmgren walking around from door to door asking folks, "WHO WANTS A SCHENN?" in a similar manner to "Bring Out Your Dead"

Not necessarily. They have to know it's a business. Ron Sutter didn't suffer when the Flyers traded his twin brother.

Morin started the game & was paired with #85 Daniel Walcott

That link should be good for the entire series.

I still don't think they are going to be making any trades til just before or at the deadline. If they arent in playoff contention expect a sell off of vets. If they're a playoff team (and I think they will be) I think they will look to pick up another good penalty killer to fill the 4th line LW spot.

While I do think they will make a major move to address the D, I don't think it happens until the offseason. Of course now that I've said that, they'll probably make 2 major deals before the weekend!
