Akeson has played 13 NHL games. For at least 7 of those 13, in the playoffs, he was one of their most effective skaters. That should be enough to want to see more, to see how sustainable that level of play is

And that was last year. What about all the practices where maybe he doesn't look good? Do those not count? The coaching staff and organization get to see him more then just game times

How the Hell did she end up with both John Bender & Jake Ryan?

Should we ignore actual games because they were last year? Or weigh practice more heavily than playoff games?

Do you prefer Brad Pitt's hair in World War Z, or Fury?
- JAKEw1234

Fury. Never been a fan of him with longer hair

I agree. And I'm also gonna throw it out there that Fury is one of the best WW2 movies I've ever seen.

Whereas Chris Vande Velde has played almost 50 career NHL games and has been irrelevant in almost all of them.



Bench Akeson for Laughton, or Leier, or Cousins.... fine. But for VDV? Yuck.
- Tomahawk

Absolutely. If they brought up another, more highly regarded prospect and benched Akeson, fine.

Well, you can probably have her now if you want

It looks stellar. Might have to break my rule and go to the movies for that one.

Haven't seen it yet, but I look forward to it. I think Brad Pitt is a very good actor.

I saw a recent picture of Molly Ringwald and remember thinking that she is better looking now than when she was in every movie from my teenage years.

- PhillySportsGuy

No, that's just it...she's average looking. But she ends up with the troubled bad boy and the preppy rich guy with a Porsche. Not to mention the hottest guy in school instead of Ducky.

Jesus, i know way too much about Molly Ringwald's 1980's film career

I am now tempted to google, because I never found her remotely pretty.

In case some of you haven't seen the highlights from the second Phantoms vs Flames game last week -

Laughton's two goals are fun to watch

He's the friggin missing link.

I used to love how pissed off he made Eskin. It was really the only thing that was good on WIP at the time.

I always had a thing for red heads.....but never really liked her when she was in her movie making days.

No but you can't ignore practice either. Also he has had 4 games this year so far and they have been ok. But nothing telling me I need to see more.

And hell i wou8ld rather have laughton or Lerier up too but we can't have it both ways. We either let them develop and be patiet or we bring up a guy like Vandavelde and let him play 4th line roll and minutes.

He's the friggin missing link.

A bit of a mouth-breather, yes.

I anxiously await Omar's appearance in the Walking Dead so that we can continue the Wire reunion on that show.

I've never really listened to WIP. From everything I've heard it's not worth listening to.

Do yourself a favor and don't... I just made that mistake.

I think ol Johnny's standards have just dropped over the years.
