I know I'm only beating a dead horse but I truly believe that we have yet to see the best this team has to offer. We are definitely doing Vincent Lecavalier no favours by playing out of his natural position, on the third line and second unit PP duties. does this not seem ridiculous to anyone else?

As crazy as it seems, I feel this team is well overdue for a line shake up. we're still winning games but not dominating by any stretch of the imagination. I absolutely feel we should have dominated the Calgary Flames and could have with a better four line balance. The 5-0 shutout in Ottawa a month ago is the perfect example of that.

all in all I look forward to tonight's game...right after a brand new episodes of Community!!!

Beating a team 4-1 isn't dominating them?

I like Bryzgalov, but he's an awful fit there in Edmonton.
- Jsaquella

There is nothing worse to me than talking about Bryzgalov with a non Flyers fan. I never thought and still don't think he's a bad goalie, he's just got a really big mouth. Even then I don't think he really has that a big mouth, I just think HBO really kill him. What's the big deal if he likes reading and watching Discovery Channel?

i'm (frank)ing sick of it and i imagine the world's best prospects are too

there should be a cap on how many years in a row you can draft top 5 and i am dead serious.

I think it bothers me more that they haven't been able to put together a really good team with all the first round picks they've had.

that's my point. quit sending the best young players to wither away there. it's tiresome.

I wasn't happy when they signed him.

I was happy when they amnestied him.

He's another team's problem now. I couldn't care less what he does from this point on.

should be a fun game tonight. colorado has a very fun team to watch

I think he's a good goalie, in the right system. I don;t think Edmonton is a good fit stylistically, systemically or personality wise. Put him on a solid veteran team that plays defense well & he's a solid goalie. But Edmonton is a young team, that doesn't play good defense or have a really good defensive system

Russian bench after scoring an empty netter to send the American kids home....

I'm pretty sure that was after Hartman gave their guy a stick in the face from the bench.

HBO was blown out of proportion. The Philly beat "writers" :rolleyes: really took everything to a new level.

I agree. He is a good goalie.

Philly wasn't a good fit for him either. Management panicked and made the wrong move.

I couldn't agree more and it certainly gave Mike Milbury something to run with for over 2 years on the NBC network.

If they didn't already trade for Cory Schneider, I think he would thrive with the Devils.

I thought you were meeting FlyersGrace and I on 12/21?

Of course she hasn't been on the threads since so there's a good chance I killed her and buried the body.

Vacation!
Too many good things to do outside work.
Today was my first day back and I got creamed...

He could...Serious doubts that Lou would even consider him...the Devils like colorless guys.

I've always thought of them as boring, but that's certainly a better way of wording the New Jersey Devils
