I wouldn't worry. Im not sure the Flyers have ever gotten more than 4 goals against Lundqvist.
- PhillySportsGuy


This is true, with an *....They had scored 3 on him in a period before and he was replaced by Chad Johnson and in another instance, they scored 4 on him through a period and a half, and he was replaced by Valiquette.

Far be it from me to disagree with such an acclaimed geographer, but I believe New Jersey is located NEXT to Georgia.
- PhillySportsGuy


I thought New Jersey was somewhere near Cleveland, just south of Oz and east of Tatooine.

Do you guys realize the Islanders traded Moulson, Top 5 pick or 2015 1st, 2nd rounder, and a 5th rounder for a conditional 2nd and prospect Sebastian Collberg.

Yikes, did someone hire Mike Milbury again?

- SchennBros


I never understood acquiring Vanek in the first place. That team needed depth in every area and a goalie. Plus, a team like that needs to cherish draft picks because they can't spend as much.

They should have just kept Moulson and tried to sign him and Mac.

I just assumed it was a science term that meant homeostasis. Thats what Mac has brought.

We need to get a fan from every metro team in our thread today to argue. It would be great.
- PhillySportsGuy


The trick would be to find an actual Devils fan, especially one that can read.

I remember one of those games. One was in New York and the Flyers jumped out to a 5-0 lead. I think Richie got one of his 3v5 goals in that game.

MSL scores his first 2 goals as a Ranger tonight in route to a 7-1 rout of the Flyers.

And then sadly you wake up, to still realize that yes, you do still live in your parents basement and no, you still haven't ever kissed a girl.

THere was one in here earlier. Our Pens fan has left for a little while. Our Corgi has a bit of bite.

Made ZERO sense. Vanek is probably a better player than Moulson, but the difference is not exactly drastic, especially in terms of production. Plus, Moulson is JT's buddy. Never see a reason to move your franchise player's buddy to make an almost lateral move.

We didn't get much snow, but it's really cold and windy. Actually drove kids to the bus, which I rarely do.

And you knew Vanek wasn't going to re-sign there. You just knew it. Isles had a much better shot at re-signing Moulson because of his relationship with JT.

A move like that should only be made if the team is a bonafide cup contender and feels they're a top winger away from a cup.

That's good. Hopefully he can maintain that. He was misused by our coaching staff to a large degree but was weak on the puck, along the boards, and on the PP. I'm happy he's not an Islander anymore and I'm glad he's working out for you guys.
- Cptmjl


I've been very pleased with him. Perhaps he was just a the case of a player who needed a change.

Did you give them a speech like "In my day, we walked to school in this kind of weather. No shoes, no gloves and no iPhones!"

Agreed. I'm surprised the Sabres didn't try to flip moulson sooner...might have got a better price for him

I guess there was a Ban issued, because he dissapeared like a fart in the wind.
