I'd call you on a holiday when we'd both been drinking, of course. It wouldn't end well, but you'd know.

Did you guys know Jonathan Drouin is playing on the Tampa 4th line?

Umberger has not come as advertised.
I would have Umberger on 4th and find a way to get Bellemare much more ice time...more ice than Umberegr for sure!

Their '4th-line' has Vlad Namestikov and Alex Killorn.

It depends on expectations. If you thought he was going to be a productive middle-six forward, you're going to be sadly disappointed.

Although, some people thought Lecavalier was "productive" last season, so analytics are always in the eye of the beholder.

But, the Flyers were able to unload Scott Hartnell's contract which will help them build a better team in the near future (hopefully).

Carlo Colaiacovo has played a grand total of 0 games for the Flyers and 31 in the last two years yet he has somehow "earned" PP time. This makes me think that PP isn't something to earn and that Berube just doesn't want to try Akeson on the 2nd PP for one reason or another.
- NickTheKid87



Colaiacovo is a proven NHL veteran player. Akeson is an unproven NHL rookie.

Last time I saw him in a Flyers jersey he was ripping it up in the playoffs.

Of course I expected more from him than we've gotten. I'm not sure his mom could find him during some of the games this season.

He was advertised as a player about to be bought out of his contract. Did we get that?

They are currently drafting in the top 5. Not bad for team tank nation. I think they will rise to mediocrity soon though.

I guess. Imagine how badly a coach would get shredded if he did that
