I would, but I don't think he'd be much of an upgrade.

Probably. Sbisa is a RFA at the end of this year. We are stuck with Luke @ 3.6 through the end of next year.

Yeah, kinda like asking if you'd prefer a huge pimple on your ass or have sex with Roseanne Barr.

Akeson has improved a lot in the last few years but NHL scouts still see a soft and undersized player who has "NHL hands but AHL feet" -- that opinion has not changed.
- bmeltzer


That's probably a fair description, but I think having NHL hands is something that isn't given as much importance as it should be. "Hands" shouldn't just refer to creating offense, they should also encompass how well you make passes under pressure in your own zone, and how well you fish the puck out of a sea of bodies against the boards, how you chip the puck down the ice just enough to avoid icing, etc. How many goals against the Flyers have happened in the last few seasons directly after failed clears, like this one by Read and Jones?

Akeson may not score many points, or maybe any points getting 7 minutes on the 4th line this year, but so far I don't think he's been at fault or any of the two goals scored while he's been out there.

The pimple would at least go away eventually.

The emotional, physical, and mental carnage of having sex with Roseanne? Not so much.

At first, I was under the impression that this video included Randy Jones.

Japanese culture requires you to kill yourself for bringing such shame to your family.

So you blame Mason on the goal? I don't. Highly skilled play by RNH with blinding speed.
- MJL


who said i blamed him? i was just explaining that in my opinion he had a chance. you said he had no chance. i completely disagree. he made 2 separate attempts and got beat both times by excellent finish from rnh.

my point, again, was about rinaldo.

Trouble is, Vinny has been something of an anchor himself during his time as a Flyer
- Jsaquella


yeah, but that's all injury, misuse of his ability, and forcing him to play a position he can't.
