I went to Desales. Used to be called Allentown University.

about 15 minutes from muhlenberg.

Muhlenberg is like 13th grade from what I hear. Huge party school, easy to get into.

Don't get the notion continuously trying to polish a turd. There is no fountain of youth, and I don't understand taking minutes away from better/younger players.

When healthy:
bSchenn-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
Raffl-Bellemare-Akeson
Umberger-LeCavalier-Rinaldo

haha i guess i made the wrong choice then.

i dont know. my college wasnt awful. just a small little sandbox surrounded by corn. decent education, and i mean you had buddies to hang out and drink with, but nothing id say close to a party school by any stretch of the imagination. i hated it at the time, but now id do pretty much anything to go back haha

Phlex is out since they moved to Adirondack. They have some beaver thing named Dax and a bird or something too. More maybe just the latter and they offed Dax. I'm not sure.

Really odd situation with Harding. The MS is heartbreaking after his change in medication caused him to miss the rest of last season after being one of the top Vezina contenders. Then breaking his foot in an altercation with a teammate or something? What to heck

I'm fine with that, but didn't Read already go to the coaches earlier this year to ask to play the right side?

If he was making about $500-$900K less I think he gets claimed.

But yeah, he had a tough break with the MS last year, and the nonsense with Veilleaux just was stupid

haha well i dont have much to empty, but yeah.

i really wish i wouldve been able to take some time off between that and law school. I'm still only 23 and feel like doing so much that isnt exactly productive haha. i envy the people that are maybe 27 or so in it.

True that, they are short a LW unfortunately. Someone will bite the bullet.

If he is injured so be it. It happens. He isn't exactly the healthiest guy in my books anyway.

Just my thoughts, but it makes them look kind of foolish to deny reports, and downplay injuries continuously. Just be honest.

I'd rather they bring up Laughton when Raffl returns and go with:

Schenn-G-Jake
Raffl-Couturier-Simmonds
Bellemare-Laughton-Read
VDV-VLC-Rinaldo
spare: Akeson
waived: Umberger

Yeah, but also said it was no big deal if he was on left side. He's spent plenty of time as a LW over the past three seasons and has been plenty effective there. To say he suddenly can't play LW is just being ignorant.

He's struggling right now, the time he spent on RW didn't help much.

Giroux missed most of the preseason with a lower-body injury that's believed to be a groin or hip issue.

His new issue could be tied to his old one.


ummmm ok or it may not. why even say that?

Today's lines at practice:

18-10-93
24-14-17
36-78-40
76-41-42

15-5
8-32
26-55
47-22 (dressed for full contact)

So we are effectively down to 1 top 9 LW in B Schenn. And now with a center injured we are moving our only LW option to center? Exactly how is Vinny going to last on this team for any longer than this year if hes not trusted to center in this type of scenario? Starting to think he is getting bought out no matter the cap penalty.
