Did he wear a one piece black jumpsuit, and did he happen to be a really bad Father?

Is it at least an A-level league, or do they not have divisions?
- jmatchett383


They have an a, b and c league. I play in the a and b. The a is pretty good. The b is a definite drop off and actually harder for me because of the slower pace, lack of hockey sense and lower skill.

Gotcha. I played roller at a pretty high level (MLRH, had some NHL-drafted guys in it) and then tried ice in a men's league and just couldn't translate. I'm sure taking 2 1/2 years off didn't help. I stepped into a C-level men's league and was pretty awful. No puck skills, not strong on my skates. I know some people made the transition, I couldn't.

Let's try to break this down:

1. Markov 6M for 1 year - seems a bit high, but only for 1 year, so not insane

2. look to trade Tokarski to San Jose with Price in the system and Furcale on the way up - not sure Tokarski's value has gone up much due to 1 series. I'd keep him as the backup and let Fucale play in the AHL and explore it later

3. explore trading Max Pac in a package for Evander Kane - If they can, not insane, but I don't think they should offer much more

4. bring Gionta back at a discount - he's never impressed me

5. offer Weaver a 1yr deal for a modest raise - if he'll go for it, absolutely

6. Subban would get 8.5M - that's a minimum, for max. length

If that would get done do you think that helps Kimmo get 6 million

I didn't know you moved to NM Hammar. Did you happen to run into Fred Imus, or Cactus Jack yet?

I don't know about the bad father part. He usually wore sweats. What else would fit him?

He definitely recruited kids to play at that high school. Their entire starting lineup got D1 Scholarships.

I'm thinking size 32 waist Levis 509's.

My boss here is friends with a few of the higher up Flyers brass. He says that Mr Snider's cancer is more serious than is being let on.

Here is to hoping he is able to overcome it.

No, Markov is four years younger and played like it - 25 minutes a game.

I also think he's unlikely to take anything less than 3 years. Gonchar got 2 years last offseason and he was 39.

Good Luck to Eric Wellwood who I've had the pleasure of watching play both live as a Windsor Spitsire (Top six Junior two way player who played in all situations as an assistant Captain) and saw play live in Detroit as a Flyer due to an injury to Jake Voracek in 2012.

Hopefully Ed Snider has a speedy recovery.

Not saying I wouldn't. Cute, petite, tight little body, but damn she's annoying when she talks.
