still the outlook is Rosy

It runs steadily down hill. Just today my wife begged me to take him to a hockey game this weekend so we can bond and start pretending we're father and son again.

It's to the point he thinks he should be completely in charge of his life but he's still completely dependent on us. He's trying to be a grown man and deal with grown up feelings but he's still a lot of little boy inside. He only knows how to deal with it by getting angry and using his grown up words. It's pretty dreadful. I can still manage to say he's a good kid.

I want to punch him directly in his face as hard as I can.

I want to...

Ed Snider doesn't decide if there is an enforcer, or if any player is on the roster.

So Bryzgalov was all Holmgren huh? Great signing.

holmgren did have to go hat in hand to snider about buying out briere and bryzgalov

Absolutely it was, in my opinion of course.

Of course. All financial matters need approval.

That's still a problem for him. Wearing hats instead of helmets

If that's the case, it strengthens people's opinion on Holmgren being relieved of his duties.

A lot of teams in the NHL that do not have the resources the Flyers have can't afford having their GM make that type of mistake.

do you consider this a hat or a helmet?

In my opinion it doesn't. No GM is perfect and mistakes are made in signing players. I think any calls for Holmgren to be fired were, and still are, ridiculous. He's a solid GM, who's done a solid job.

Perfect? Who gets to make a 59 million dollar mistake, and compound that by making a brutal trade with JVR.

The trades of Carter and Richards brought good returns, but the bottom line is the team hasn't been a Cup contender since those trades.

I'm not getting into a debate about this, because I think Holmgren has made some good moves, but if someone suggested he be replaced by Hextall it's far from ridiculous.

Solid enough for a playoff appearance to be sure
