That's bullpoop. He got shot. Sniper in the rafters. The NHL should apologize and give Neal $10,000 for defamation of character.

This is James Neal we're talking about. Defecation of character is more appropriate.

Best way to get anything out of Umberger is to slot him at LW on the 1st unit.

By "get anything out of Umberger", you mean McDavid, Eichel, Kylington, or Hanifin, right?

I read it on here just a couple days ago how the tanking was over and they were going to be in the playoffs.

Has to be right. 'cause... internet.

Yep, there was no correlation to them winning and playing against a beat up Devils team and a horrible Carolina team. Guess Steve Mason is to blame for not being unbelievably incredible last night

I knew they were going to be bad but... wow, they're terrible man. You can't even look at this and think of fixing it this year. Maybe even next season.

I truly hate this. Let's get a road trip together and get rid of this cap thing.

I don't think they will be a playoff team til 2017. Hopefully they can at least shed some salary between now and then.

This team does nothing to create time and space for themselves, they don't hit, they don't forecheck well, they don't back check well, they don't muscle their way through traffic, and no one sweeps the porch in front of Mase or Razor.

I'm really starting to dislike this team on general principles. I like the guys who make up the team, but they mostly suck at the fundamentals of hockey.

Did I mention they can't get out of their own zone? Ugh!

They need rest man. They're tired. They been putting up lights, getting a tree, wrapping gifts, decorating... it wears a fella out. Plus there's all the cookies and extra food around. everyone knows a full belly makes ya drowsy.

They pick it back up in January when the season really matters.

Have I told you how much I think the Flyers current situation is exactly like Edmonton's. If you look at it it really is uncanny.

Timmonen was the only thing holding this show together.

Way to miss the point on the comparison.

When the idea being suggested is stupid, there's no jumping to conclusions. Lecavalier has had a season and a half now, as a Flyer. He's been bad for 90% of that time. At what point does the way he's performing now trump his past glory for you?

Not saying it doesn't happen, but when it does, it's generally a dumb idea. You want to scratch VandeVelde? Great, 100 % on board. Rinaldo? Absolutely. Neither does enough good to justify a spot. Sadly, Lecavalier no longer does enough to justify a spot

- Jsaquella


He didn't miss the point on the comparison, he simply called it out for what it was. He posted basically that while sitting Laughton wouldn't be his choice, that it wouldn't be the end of the World for a rookie to sit out a game, as long as he wasn't sent down and it was just temporary. The point that was missed is that he's right.

there's ZERO reason or justification for sitting laughton.
