Please stop defending the Dalai Lama. Every day all you do is defend him. He's way too inconsistent. If he didn't play on the top PP unit, no one would notice.

But he needs me. If I don't stick up for him on internet message boards, where would he be?

On welfare after being replaced by Brad Boyes.

I just don't get this.

"Mr. Jagr, gives up $2000 or we'll release a picture showing a beautiful woman cheating on her 19-year-old boyfriend by having sex with 43-year-old you."

Jagr: Here's $4,000. Do it now.

I totally see through their charade. Tonight, the Flyers are gearing up for Tavares and then WHAM! Ho-Sang comes out of the ice and puts up 7 goals. They've been trying to keep it a secret, but I see their game.

Ho-Sang might be tired after running the stadium steps for 3 hours the other day.

Big Gubmint!

I got pretty destroyed when I said Gagner could be a cheaper option for the same production long term while Schenn has trade value and could be dealt now. can Gagner play a third line rw role for 40 45 points a season ? He would of been third on the Flyers last year in even strength points.
- Tfaehner

Not sure where Gagner of B. Schenn really fit into the current lineup. The problem is one of square pegs and round holes. The Flyers need another guy who can effectively play the left side besides Raffl and Read, but Schenn, Gagner, Simmonds, and Vinny are all better suited to play either RW or C.

I just don't get this.

For blackmail like this to work, it's helpful to have actual leverage over the person you're trying to swindle.

In other words, those people were stupid.

That's interesting.

I have no vested interest in the player or the Isles, but man, that strikes me as cruel-and-unusual -- send him back to junior? Fine. Make him go through the fitness testing, but no ice time? Fine

Something about the stair-running...I don't know. I don't have anything to compare it to, considering I've never really heard of a junior-aged player missing the start of camp and/or anybody reporting it, so I have no idea what punishment would be in order

Think I come down that hours of stair-running might be excessive, though

Plus, where was Jagr going to get the $2k from without alarming the banks and notifying the police? Did these mastermind criminals think he just had that kind of cash laying around, accessible at a moment's notice?

Fools.

it's possible there were more issues than just being late to camp that we don't know about

Absolutely. I certainly don't track that kid or the Isles, so you absolutely could be dead on

Them: wait, he is 43 and not married yet? d'oh!!

the amount is hilarious. $2000

Jammy probably has that fall out of his socks when he is getting ready for practice.

I'd be surprised if Jagr's face isn't on some denomination of Czech currency, at this point.

Just looked it up. Total earnings since his rookie year are almost 129 mil.

What makes the Jagr story great is that he didn't just refuse the blackmail, he doesn't care.

"We have the photos, Mr. Jagr, and we expect--"

"Whatever." *click* *goes back to sleep*

I admire the guy for that, in one way: He's been a pure mercenary for years, has never hidden the fact that he expects to be compensated well when he plays well

Jagr was well-known for gambling at points of his career, so I wonder how much of it he's actually held onto.

Not sure how reliable it is, but according to his twitter account via Instagram, he had this to say (translated):

"And here we have another photo from my privacy except here nobody wanted to get paid for it despite how good it is. Maybe they couldn't find out what her name is )) i forgot it too, I just know that she's a foreigner.......nvm, who doesn't know what this is about, good "

I'm hoping these fast paced practices combined with players wanting to make up for last year translates to a good start to the season. I'm interested to see how the teams play tonight. I'm thinking they will make some cuts pretty soon. It seems like the Flyers want to focus on getting the roster together as quickly as possible and letting that team play together for most of the preseason. I think Hextall even mentioned he expects cuts to start quickly this year and get down to who's got a chance for the roster asap.

I was only at camp for a little bit of the scrimmage yesterday, but it did seem pretty intense. No one was outright running people, but there were some fairly solid hits doled out. Hopefully they go into game one ready to move.
