As GM I've got to think Hexy was seeing a trade and didn't want to risk Kimmo looking terrible or suffering a setback that would've ended in the Flyers getting squat for him.

I think it was more about the health risks and Timonen's well being that had Hextall concerned.

I refuse to believe 41 yr old G. Roberts knocked 23 year old Ben Eager into next week.

I was in high School in the early 80s, Jeff Spicoli was pretty much my everyday existence!

At the time I didn't believe it either, it wasn't until Roberts retired and opened up a fitness gym and worked with Stamkos did I realize how strong he was.

If I remember correctly, after he got pummeled by Roberts, didn't Eager challenge Georges Laraque?

Yep. But don't think Francis was much of a fighter. Another member of the Scott Stevens club.

First and foremost, he wasn't convinced it was safe. Then add in the salary cap considerations for next season as well as current season. Player hadn't skated in 10 months. Roster overcrowding was already an issue, too.
- bmeltzer


And, dare I say it, the few extra points that would result if Timonen played would hurt the Flyer's draft chances.

I just watched both FT and Private School. Phoebe Cates might be the hottest chick that ever lived. Someone should write a song about her.

She was definitely a hottie in that movie. So was the other chick. Don't remember her name.

Jennifer Jason Leigh. She was cute too. But I if I could invent a time machine, this first thing I would do wouldn't be to prevent Hitler or cure the plague or make a zillion bucks. It would be to go back in time and stalk Phoebe Cates.

No wait. I'd make a zillion bucks first. Then maybe I'd have an actual shot at Phoebe Cates.

"I used to like tossing off to her pool scene."

Probably. I think it was Laraque who pushed Steve Downie into the boards. I also believe it was the same game where Crosby tripped up Biron behind the net, and Biron called him out.
