Because there's such variance in special teams play from year to year. It's not a good indicator of a goalie's true worth/value.

I see. I still think Mason is fairly close to Bob. He plays the puck a lot better than Bob does, so I think that's a plus in his direction.

Well, you're in a bad mood today. Did you start out this way or do I need to read back?

Anyone who will contend that Nickleback and Creed are not the worst 2 bands of my time are liars. Bieber (musically) and some others are bad, but those 2 bands seriously anger me musically.

Edit: Literally.

I'll give you a hint:
"The Flyers winning late last year was the worst thing in the history of ever because they could have had Seth Jones with 4 more losses."

Which is 1) completely unture, 2) a disrespect to both the fans and players, 3) making a mockery of the game, and 4) the worst possible mentality (losing is okay) for a young team. Of course, my threat of physical violence wasn't the best idea either. Which is why I'm trying to not get worked up any more.

I would listen to Miley Cyrus over Creed and Nickleback. Their music makes me legitimately angry. Miley Cyrus will just make me roll my eyes.

are you serious??
let's all go over this again.

i told him to stop insulting flyers fans. apparently that was such an awful act that it will go down in infamy. some people can sure dish it out but don't like being called out on it.

sorry but i find that whole thing ridiculous

It was bit meaner than that. You told him to leave our thread and go back to the Pens thread.

Before she cut her hair so much I thought she was slightly cute. In that trashy Kesha way.

I agreed that it's "close".

As a believer and supporter of Bob before he was traded, I was not happy with the trade. But Mason has been adequate.

i had no idea i had so much power.

we will all never agree on this and it's so dumb anyway. i got sick of his insults and gave him a little gtfo post. i don't run the thread, i'm not a mod, and he can post wherever he likes. he can't be that shocked that throwing insults around might get a reaction from time to time... that time it got a reaction from me. i am pretty sure he'll survive it somehow.

Not to mention fatigue (more games/shots), plus the fact that the Flyers were allowing an insane amount of high-percentage chances the first 2 months of the season. I'd say fairly even.

Bear poop. They don't digest everything. Pieces of fruit make it out of there all the time.

Say what you will, but a little feistiness. With some Nickleback, Miley Cyrus, ass slapping and now bear poop talk.

My kind of conversation. Well done hooligans.

I liked Bob too. I think he's still on the team is they knew a buyout was going to be available. I just think Homer rebounded nicely from the whole fiasco. Things could be a lot worse.

Honestly, I was amazed by their performance in that 5 game winning streak. I really didn't see these 5 losses in 6 games coming. I was pretty pessimistic about this season but they sucked me in. Now it's getting depressing again. Boston is looming and they aren't scoring.

I'm trying to reach a more zen place before I start breaking things.

I like that we were able to use the pick for Anthony "I Slash Your Head" Stolarz. In a few years, I look forward to both he and Morin competing to see who can throw their stick further into the crowd.

Lavi was a f'n moron and I'll never forgive what he did to Bob during the playoffs. I still want to punch him in the face for it, almost as much as I want to slap the tongue off of Miley "I'm all grown up now" Cyrus' face.
