Pens should send Maata back to Juniors to help out Stolarz.

Flyers should have drafted Maata.

None of the above. Imo, the person you're interacting with face to face should take priority.

Doesn't excuse property damage. Do you rip their door of its hinges if they don't hold it for you?

Nope. I will never let it go... unless Laughton becomes richards 2.0... But even then he will have to play LW because we have too many Centers...

I mean what were they thinking... They have Giroux, Briere, Schenn, and Couturier.... Just lost Pronger.... But you know what.... Lets pick another center...

No. He's not irrational. He just calmly slams their fingers in the doorway.

What were the 20 teams (except the Blackhawks) thinking when they passed on Giroux in the 2006 draft? Those idiots!

Laughton would have to be Richards 3.0. Schenn is Richards 2.0. Horvant is Richards 4.0 and Jared McCann is Richards 5.0.

So Bill, you asked them about the game in November but never followed up with anything they said.


You kind of left us hanging.

Giroux said "That was a big win for us and we won a lot of games after that."

Voracek said, "Yeah, we saw we could win a 2-1 game against them if that's what it takes, and not always a 5-4 or 6-5 or whatever."

Hartnell said: "Did we win that one? Their building or ours? We play so many games against them and it has been awhile, so I wasn't sure about the last time. But we know their team and are confident and they feel the same about us."

I'm not talking about guys slipping under the Radar. The Flyers needed defensive prospects and passed a good one up for another center.

I think it had more to do with how they felt about the players. They thought Laughton was going to be better than Maata. Maata looks great, but I wouldn't start writing Laughton's career obituary. They have some decent d prospects now. If they didn't have Laughton, they wouldn't have any forward prospects who are slam dunks to be in the NHL.

So would you have been happy if they selected another defenseman other than Maata?

You could simply say something, doesn't risk destroying a multi-hundred dollar piece of technology.

I really wanted Maata, but I would have understood the reason for drafting another defenseman and forgiven missing out on Laughton.

This explains a bit about Hartnell. While G and Jake remember the details, Hartnell's detached.

Reminds me of when Laviolette told the team about the joys of winning the Cup, and Hartnell said he had never even thought about it that way.

Wait, Hartnell thinks?
