the kuvasz i'm familiar with, but not the puli.

The puli is a corded breed. Much like the komondor (plural komondorok).

If the Pens lose tonight, and Crosby doesn't show up again have to figure he starts taking some heat in the Burgh right?

the league has tickets for the families, agents, advertisers and marketing partners. They'll release a portion of tix to the Flyers who will distribute them for free to season ticket holders through a not-yet-released plan.

there was so many available seats in NJ. Not sure why they turned away so many who signed up for the lottery

If Malkin and Crosby don't produce, look for an article from Panaccio about how their time in Pittsburgh is numbered.

I think the league overestimates what they need for their advertisers/marketing partners. I can't imagine anyone traveling in from out of town for that. Although maybe they figured it being so close to NYC they'd come across river for it. And certainly the hospitality situation in the Ice and Fire Bars is better from a corporate entertaining perspective than Philly will be. I don't know. I think things like the draft and super bowl and all star games are poorly managed generally for the people who care about the quality of the event and not of the grazing.

I'd still like to try to trade up and draft Hayden Fleury.

Also, where's Anthony DeAngelo expected to go? Has a ton of offensive talent (and had the same pediatrician that my daughter does), but apparently is lacking on the defensive side. I haven't seen him and any mocks. Could he fall to Philly in the second?

I'd give Fleury a go but at the right cost, we have limited pieces/picks I'd move.

I honestly don't care when Anthony DeAngelo is selected, I want nothing to do with him, he doesn't play much actual defense and has anger/bullying issues

Yeah, I know he had some anger issues. So does Sam Morin. But I haven't seen him play so I can't comment on him. Any chance he could turn into a wing? Or be the next Mike Green?

Morin never was suspended for bullying his own team mate that the team had to ask the league to step in to handle & he also verbally abused a ref or another suspension.

I know it was internal...although the term "bullying" is something that shouldn't be used outside of grade school. But from what I've read, he's making a concentrated effort to work on it.

For the record, what do you think is worse: verbally abusing a referee or throwing your stick into the stands like a tomahawk?

He didn't throw his stick in the stands, he slammed against the glass and it brock off into the stands.

And both are not okay at all.

Would anyone be ok with a trade like this?

To Winnipeg:
B.Schenn
L.Schenn
3rd Round 2014

To Philly:
E. Kane
Z. Bogossian

Also say I would still try to move Vinny to Nashville or somewhere else to his liking.

Reasons for deal:

Kane would be nice upgrade on the wings as he can fly and finish with a good amount of grit as well. Bogossian i think needs a change and hopefully the potential finally comes where he and coburn would be a nice 1st pairing.

If you can't sign schenn then you move him and luke to a place i thought was close to home. Winnipeg needs a center to replace jokinen. Also now you could open up the second line center for Couturier and Laughton can slide into the 3rd line roll or midrnge FA or someone else. I think it gives more roster flexibility. Lets Couturier get more offense opportunities and Laughton fills in the 3rd line roll on a ELC deal.
