Well there you go Flyers fans. All those who kept uttering that we played your "B" team last night (even though it was pretty much our Juniors and AHL guys that burn you all night), tonight Carl Hagelin is pretty much the only real NHL player dressed for NY. Stempniak too but I don't really count him as a solid NHLer lol. You even get Talbot. You guys should dominate us!

No way. You guys were talking last year about how Cam Talbot may be a top-5 NHL goalie. We're doomed!

Just a few thoughts of the exhibition season so far.

- While I understand that the pre season is normally about the players getting back into game shape, shouldn't it also be about experimentation on the side of the coach? The Coburn and MacDonald pair seems forced. Watching the pair play last night seems forced. It seems like Berube has an idea and doesn't plan on going back on it, when he could be trying different pairs from game to game. We already know MacDonald and Streit were a pair with Islanders, and during this time they were able to make the playoffs. Luke Schenn works well with MacDonald, so Schenn and Streit can alternate with MacDonald depending on the situation. Coburn and Grossmann have been an effective pair against top lines. My concern with Grossmann isn't so much how bad he is with the puck, as I am more concerned with his health as the season grows older.

- The Power Play looks like Giroux, Streit, Voracek and Simmonds are locks, as I'm sure everyone expected. I suppose Brayden Schenn or Vincent Lecavalier will replace Hartnell in the middle of theUUmbrella. To me both look effective. In my opinion both should get equal opportunity there. However, I suppose if Lecavalier is the first to be placed on the fourth line and proves to be ineffective at even strength, you have to me him effective somewhere. The best way to trade a guy is to find away to up his value.

- I'm super happy to hear Giroux will play tonight. I was worried they might sit him through the entire pre season. In my opinion, I don't care who you are, I feel you should see at least two exhibition games.

- Maybe some will differ but I don't see how Blair Jones doesn't start the season with the Flyers. I know the Flyers envisioned Bellemare possibly being our fourth line center but regardless of Bellemare's injury, Jones has truly come to camp and earned himself a spot to begin the season.

Somebody from NY referring to another city as "Philthy" is fantastic. Have you actually BEEN to the vast majority of NYC?

I step out of Penn station and this smell of vomit and heroin fills my nostrils. The city is constantly under construction, it's noisy and congested as (frank), the "artsy" people there (and everywhere) need to get the poop kicked out of them, and the whole city reeks of smug.

i was in brooklyn a month ago. horrible.

parts of the city are well kept and beautiful, but overall, not so much. it's hilarious to hear anyone from that place refer to philadelphia as a slum compared the center of the universe.

Holy poop. This is the most creative put down I've ever read in my entire life. They must let you use real scissors and everything, huh? Probably haven't even tried to eat paste for the last couple of hours. Good work.

It becomes a real fear when your kid starts dating. You try not to think about it but you spend all weekend guarding against it...

"Yeah, sorry, you two are not staying home alone while we go to the store."

"This isn't Romper Room. You two are not taking a nap in your room."

"It's July, why are you guys watching a movie under a blanket? Let me see your hands."

Rangers fans trolling Flyers fans is so awesome.
