Matt Carle isn't one dimensional. I dont know who "people" are, either? Pretty lame argument, no offense.

Neither player is going to be available, so arguing about it is kind of moot.

We might as well face the inevitable... they're going to sign Dan Boyle to be a $7M dollar savior... on a long 35+ contract... it fits the historical pattern too perfectly.

Call Ed Rendell, he'll make sure they play.

They played in the 26 inch blizzard a few years ago. They should play tonight.

In case it hasnt already been mentioned...

The Flyers have challenged the Canes to a snowball fight in the parking lot via twitter.

- jak521


And the Canes will return the favor in Raleigh and challenge the Flyers to a NASCAR thingy.

No, it was a Saturday.
They did the same thing the next year in 24 in snow (remember we had the big snow in back-to-back years) vs. New Jersey.

But yes, both on weekends. Still, it's not even a foot.

... or we'll get the treat of watching him and Streit declining precipitously together over the next 4+ seasons. #bestbluelinemoneycanbuy

Jeez, be careful....it's going to get worse after 6pm and it's pretty (frank)ed up now.

Even people where I work....they are trying to leave, but the roads are gridlocked just to get out. Crazy stuff.

Anywhere between 6 - 12" per some sources. I've seen projections as high at 14".

He was like 140lbs or something this past summer... I don't care how many points he puts up in college, he wasn't physically ready to play in the NHL. He also made it clear that one of the reasons he wanted to go back was so he could play with his brother, since the main reason he chose BC was b/c the school was willing to recruit them together.

I think Flames fans are understandably nervous, seeing how the Schultz thing went down, seeing how bad their team is, and knowing the general reluctance of players to play in Alberta, but right now, JG is just like any other drafted prospect playing in college... he'll sign when he's ready... probably this summer.

Burke is not exactly fond of small players. See Sven baertschi. I could see him willing to move him regardless of whether he wants to sign.

There's no way Boyle would get more than two years.

Driving from Newark, DE to Mantua, NJ. About 45 miles.
