All kidding aside, the whole PC/No tolerance/no shades of grey mentality that is running amok in this country is both terribly sad and terribly frightening.

The problem is they use "reasonable person" as a determination.

I meet people all day. There's no such thing as a reasonable person. We all have biases and things that set us off. It seems that we're close to the day where the right to not be offended will be adopted as the 28th amendment.

Thats the day I move to antarctica. I'll freeze my butt off, but at least I won't be surrounded by mewling, pathetic sheep.

I have a simple rule if I get offended. I change the channel or walk away from the conversation. Of course, I find things offensive as often as Gilbert Gottfried, so it's rare that I get offended

I'm usually pretty laid back, I learned a long time ago to let things roll. Most stuff, when you take a moment and really think about it, just ain't worth getting wound up over.

Seems odd they'd carry three AHL goalies. I guess one of them will be in Reading.

Edit: Goalies... I meant goalies

Probably. I expect Knapp to be in a similar spot, between ECHL & AHL depending on Stolarz & Zepp.

I get a lot more fired up here than I do elsewhere.

We have a joke at work that the reason we never seen HR people is because they'd need to replace the entire staff after hearing us in a meeting. Nothing is sacred

Please, I work in a family business. HR people would spontaneously combust if they sat in on our meetings!

With Zepp as a potential call up in case of an injury to either Mason or Emery, they'll need a 3rd AHL goalie in that situation.

Oh yeah. We had a guy hide under his supervisor's desk today. he's leaving for another job soon, and the sup came in, sat down and said, "You idiot, you're supposed to do that BEFORE you get a new job!"

This is in front of 15 co workers, and three other people in supervisory roles. And it's as common as a fight in an AHL game

Last season, Brett Flemming was primarily an ECHL defenseman with the Reading Royals, he was under contract to Hershey but spent almost the whole season in the ECHL. He is the emergency call up to the AHL when they are short. He is a great penalty killer and mobile defenseman at that level and was on the 2012-13 Kelly Cup Champs team.

Look for him to be in Reading and go to Allentown for emergencies. Its the bone they throw all better ECHL level guys, the chance to go up and make more $$ and ride nicers buses and planes occassionally

Timonen is going to have a quick recovery and come back to his normal kick ass style.

Than MDZ is going to take his game to the next level and will have a truly breakout year on his way to QB'ing the first line PP and hitting 60 points.

MDZ will take on first pair duties with Coburn and we have Schenn / Gmann as our 7th D.

Streit MacD
Timo Schenn/Gmann

Too bad it's the Flyers and miracle stuff like this never happens for us.

So do I. Not my family and I'm surprised we've only been sued a handful of times.

Career high of 41 points and then another season 37 points. All of sudden he's a Flyer and he'll be putting up PK Subban and Erik Karlsson numbers?
