Ouch, that most certainly does NOT sound like fun.
Can't you just drop em at the store and then sneak off to the bar??

That is a possible outcome, for sure

There are pills for that. There's also a little thing known as 'beer'.

Sheesh.

Party hard Bill, always a pleasure to read your stuff. Especially being in a place with limited Flyers coverage.

That defense will be ugly, no way around it but I enjoy giving the kids a bigger role on offense. One slight adjustment I hope Berube makes it ensuring Giroux's line gets the most minutes. As he goes, the team goes. Happened far too often at the end of the season, and playoffs that Couturier and Read were getting top minutes.

The pendulum cannot swing too far D-first, you play to win as a priority, not shut down the other team.

Doing so would also allow Couturier some more favourable match ups instead of going head to head with the other team's best and Giroux sitting on the bench with Voracek.

Will be fun to see the youth grow.

I disagree that the defense will be ugly, and there is no way around it. The Flyers have a solid defense.

Playing well defensively is playing to win.

Was in total wine the other day and picked up a reasonable $ vodka there ( made in Holland) eight degrees. Not Ketel One but nice. We shall see how the bourbon is ( its in the closet but has a typical southern kind of name) later.

Happy weekend all!

I truly believe we are going to get that "22 minute a night on the third best defensive team in hockey" Del Zotto.

Confidence is a fickle thing. And reading about what happened to him under AV, I fully understand how it went down. A new coach showed little confidence in him after a slow start and held him as the scapegoat for all the team's defensive problems. Its like being coached by a Flyers fan.


We all know Del Zotto can play. Its not like he is an old guy trying to regain some old glory. He is a young guy, with plus skill, who has something to prove. He is going to be good, you watch.

- MBFlyerfan

Staal, Girardi and McDonough. Enough said. I have no doubt that Alain Vigneault probably kept Del Zotto at way too high a standard. I wouldn't doubt that Del Zotto was handled poorly. It wasn't long ago that John Tortorella was singing Del Zotto's praises on HBO. So what changed? Nashville isn't exactly a juggernaut. I don't see how he was gonna get better there. As great as Weber is, he can only do so much to turn them around.

And now, for no reason whatsoever cept it makes me laugh, here is a message from the late, great George Carlin:

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post "Thou shalt not steal", "Thou shalt not lie", and "Thou shalt not commit adultery" in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment!

I miss George Carlin

Just happen to scan the thread and saw this, and felt obliged to comment. I spend a lot of time in airports, and always think of one of his bits. "Then they make the announcement "Get on the plane. Get on the plane. %$%#%$ you, I'm getting in the plane. Let Evil Knievel get ON the plane."

Or "Then the stewardess announces "We will deplaning in 5 minutes. I've never de-bused, I've never de-boated, but by God I've deplaned."

He was awesome.
