omg... youre not suggesting that hextall make amove thst could make this team competitive?! youre not suggesting they capitalize on the prime years of their nucleus?! oh god forbid!!!
- JoeRussomanno


Mark my words: If they stand pat and just ride it out, then miss the postseason, they could easily regret it.

If they were just good players having good years, I'd say, "Fine. (frank) it. Whatever."

But you've got a reigning Hart Trophy finalist arguably playing even better than he did last year, being joined by a guy who is playing even better than he is.

Think about that for a second.

They are doing every single thing superstars are supposed to do: They are carrying this team right now.

You have a goalie who has done nothing for you but win games, play well, with the occasional hiccup.

Again: I'm not saying acquire some big-ticket player who you can't afford and costs a billion assets. I know they can't, and won't, do that.

But the Rags proved last year just how far you can go with third and fourth-liners who can actually play.

You can carry VLC. It's not ideal, but you can carry him.

But no one will ever convince me that the Flyers can't do better than choosing between Umberger, Rinaldo and Vandevelde every night, ESPECIALLY if Read isn't scoring and with a PK that is ranked DEAD LAST IN THE LEAGUE.

That's right, folks. The Flyers are DEAD LAST in the entire National Hockey League on the PK.

If Read doesn't start scoring soon, then yeah, you gotta look at that. And yeah, you gotta look at upgrading with defensive specialists and hockey-smart players who can help fix that PP and give you good minutes on the fourth line.

That's Hextall's job.

i'm just wondering if this is because of the eagles no huddle offense. they wear out defenses and when you're tired you're most susceptible to injury

Well, that's cool, as long as I don't have to ever hear about how Giroux's overpaid and isn't a leader and has never won

Because right now, what he and Voracek are doing is damn near above and beyond the call of duty, and when he starts to regress from where he is now, you know people are gonna be all over him and asking where the points are, where's the production

The production is now, folks. The production is NOW

pretty sure a team could use his vet presence in the playoffs if they're young
