if schenn got 3 for doing nothing that should be 10 games but then again orpik plays for the caps
- 2Real

I think they are going to give him one game and rationalize it because 1 game in the playoffs is a bigger punishment then 3 regular season games or some such nonsense.

Nice.

I would prefer Caggiula over Vesey. Both can finish quite well, but I like Caggiula's overall game better. Vesey just doesn't seem to play with a lot of urgency, nor is he as crafty as Caggiula. But hey he is the bigger of the two.
- TheGhost_isBare

I like what I've seen from Caggiula, but it seems like Vesey is the more hyped of the 2. Again, I can't speak on the comparison because I haven't seen enough of Vesey play.

Caggiula actually has a good chance of signing with the Flyers. Vesey is a complete pipe dream. Caggiula was never drafted; Vesey spurned a good playoff team in Nashville -- one for which he could've been playing playoff hockey right now. I'm sure he will listen to offers, but he obviously has an idea of where he wants to play if he did that.

so Orpik is getting a phone hearing with the Dept of Public Appeasement

how many games will he be suspended?

North of 5 IMO. Late, PPOI is head of an unsuspecting player - puck was long gone. Not the 1st time we've seen this type of behavior before.

Also didn't he break Cole's neck like a decade ago?

Call me crazy but I just cannot get excited about the draft right now or the possibility of a player possibly signing for us who could possibly be a top 6 winger.

Radulov: Nope.

I am an elite salesman

Yes but you're morally corrupt

that's why hamhuis didn't want to sign in philly because of the "pressure"

yet he signed with Vancouver that had a full blown riot after a playoff exit

If memory serves me correct he didn't want to go to Pittsburgh either. He just wanted to go home to BC.

please god let's start rushing these kids already. Morin's gotta be approaching 30 at this point

as far as radulov i would in a second if it was a deal that made sense $$ and term wise.

1 at the absolute most. I'm still thinking a 4k fine and a STERN talking to. You know, player safety and all. He's 1/2 taller than Maatta so Maatta should have known not to put his head there 4 seconds after he passed the puck. Plus, orpik said he expected the puck to come back to Maatta and that's why he hit him. So maybe it was a clean hit overall

Bill-

Just a question off the last thread. You shot down the long held belief that the Flyers fell back on the Giroux pick because the Rangers took Sanguinetti in front of them. You said they were picking Patrick Berglund. Berglund went several picks after Giroux so why not just take him then? Maybe I am misunderstanding from you brief post. Could you expound on that statement a bit and clear it up for us (me)? Thanks.

Stay away from Berube. He's a bum and has useful players traded away.
