Again, Laughton and Bellemare. Hell, Even Akeson as poorly as he's played.

And that's fine. But there are other options. That's my point.

Their first pass out of the zone so far has been (surprise) awful.

Eric Lindros had one of the most dominating performances I've ever seen by any hockey player, ever, March 18th, 1995 in Florida...a 4-3 OT victory over the Panthers.

http://www.hockey-referen...xscores/199503180FLA.html

The box-score, impressive as it is, doesn't do it justice. 88's physical domination and willful assertion of skill typified what he was all about, at his best on the ice. I recall him bowling people over behind the next to win pucks he would put home. On one goal, I think it was the game tying or OT winner, he was streaking down the high slot and took a pass in his skates that he deftly deflected up into the air in front of him before swatting it out of mid air and in the back of the net for a hat-trick. He had the flu that night. Amazing.

Anyone else remember this one?

IF ANYONE HAS THE VIDEO OF THAT GAME, OR KNOW WHERE I CAN GET IT, PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I had it on VHS from when I originally recorded the broadcast,but, uh, all my tapes got dried out/moldy.

I remember that game. Panthers complained about the final goal -- with some justification -- because Lindros actually lifted up and tossed aside a Florida player as he skated up the ice away from the puck, then scored the goal as you describe it.

Or admit that they are finished. They've been getting a ton of ice time. Hasn't worked. What's next? Play them with Giroux?

I ate that a few days ago with a hot cup of coffee. It was such a bad choice for someone with a delicate upper mouth

I don't like the low-penalty version of the Flyers ... they clearly lack physicality, and that certain nasty edge that makes teams tough to play against.

Looks like Schultz is replacing Grossmann as Coburn's PK partner

Good work by Berube to recognize that that pair was not effective.

You'd think after having 40 goals scored on you because you left your marked man's stick free, that you would TAKE THE (frank)ING STICK COBURN
