Really? I didn't realize he had fallen that far out of favor. You think the Panthers are close to the point of just dumping him for the best offer?

With Campbell, Olsen, and Gilbert.. I think we need more guys on the back end who knock people down in front of our net. Watch tonight's slaughter against Boston.. we're gonna get pushed around.

Stop being negative. Logic suggests the Flyers will capture 6 points on the California trip.

Flyers are all big defenseman and they got pushed around by the Bruins.

So a Grossmann for Kulikov deal would interest you?

Our best player out there. I would take him over Weiss any day of the week, month, year, decade... amazing two way player. Hurt right now, though. Should be back against the Jackets.

I have to jump in here. Im sorry.

Why bother? Why did our ancestors bother to get a better life? Why did we bother to abolish slavery?

Its (frank)ing modern day feudalism, and we are continuously fed BS. Everyone knows that Bieber gets arrested but the real stories are barely covered to such a degree.

Its a wonderful game. Into having us all fall into line, and not get any ideas of a better life in our heads. Its as good as its going to get, the majority of us face more hardship every day, yet the mega rich get richer and richer.

Sheep. Les just accept the status quo. Its all peachy and dandy, lets just watch the superbowl.

Me, yeah. But there would have to be a forward involved at some level. Some sort of prospect.

I may buy a Panthers season ticket next year if they are still 7.00 a ticket...I almost bought one this season but would have missed too many games

Good to hear.

I kind of think the Panthers should look at a new logo. Something along the Carolina Panthers. A similar colour scheme would look cool too.

I love the red. Logo could change but the colors?? I'd like to see a black third jersey.

So how did we go from Stanley cup finals then get worse every year since? Not good enough, IMO.

The core was swapped out for younger, talented, but still developing players, which is a short term step back...the big man, Pronger went down, leaving an aging Timonen to lead things, obvious dropoff there...struck out on Suter/Weber...

I feel there are a good measure of of young, talented players here and they need to exercise some patience, allow time for them to develop and make an impact...and the D needs a top pairing refresh, which I'm sure they (Homer et. al,) know given they tried hard to get it...oh, we got a goalie (I think) and a couple good (goalie) prospects... personally, I'd like to see Homer's rebuild continue...it will be ugly at times as the young players take lumps and learn on the job, and the older players decline and move on, but I do see the window of contention opening back up in a year or two as the young players like G, Schenn, Couturier, Read, Jake etc. are in their prime and the best prospects amongst guys like Morin, Alt, Ghost, Laughton, Cousins, etc. graduate to the big club.

Refresh the top D pairing over the next season or two and I think we're where we need to be. Holmgren brought in a lot of young talent and has thus far been patient in not trading away young players prospects and picks...it takes time to let such a plan develop. In this bigger picture context, I don't see why Homer's job should hang on this season's results...but I understand it is the mentality you often see in an impatient, "win now" town that seems to care more about the current season product than they do the longer term prospects for winning a Cup that may involve taking a more patient approach. I find it ironic that many admonish Ed Snider for being too impatient and trying to win it all each year and now, at a time that seems like the team is being a bit more patient in building something for the future, that people are ready to fire the GM for doing so.

If you dont like your life change it. No-one is stopping you. If the news media is only covering Beiber, and your drawn in by that, its your own dumb fault you dont try and learn what is really going on. Its not a class issue thats keeping people in peverty... its a motivation issue. If the government is going to pay for you to live and do nothing, what is your motivation for improving your life...?
