Whats everyone's thoughts on Loui Erikson? Multiple times now I'm hearing the Flyers will be all over this guy. I hope it's no more than 3 years. If it's no more than 3 years I can live with almost any kind of cap hit. He would be a useful piece

He wants 6 years as far as term last I heard. Between 5.5 and 6m.

In theory, 3 years would cost us somewhere between 6 and 8m.

I loathe the offsides challenge. The worst.

EDIT: Karma. Lehtonen still sucks.

It...really gets to me. Honestly. Of course there'll be times when I'll love it (a flyers goal against reversed)

But come on. Tarasenko, for all intents and purposes, was onside there. Really. I get it though. Anyone who says "yeah but offside is offside!" is completely right. But meh.

Hey they got it back though!

Stars should have took me up on my sweet Neuvirth deal at the deadline

My first thought was that disallowed goal should have been saved. Yeah, weird play, but that went through him. I don't play the position though I'd like to hear hammar's thoughts on it.

It's getting changed in the offseason. Guaranteed. It's embarrassing.



This just in. Lehtonen is awful.

Haha he's playing this game like it's against the Flyers and he's still an Atlanta Thrasher.

I wonder if his body is filled out enough to deal with the physicality the NHL beings. Any word on his shoulder? I've heard nothing since before Sarnia went into the playoffs.
- SuperSchennBros


The last I read is that konency was in Philly before sarnia was eliminated and it was decided not to have surgery. Certainly there is a question whether any under sized teenager can handle the nhl. For me if konency is to succeed in the NHL his game isn't going to change that much from junior. He is going to be a top six winger who will get pp time and very minimal pk time. His overall game certainly didn't plateau this year. He probably would have been a top 5 scorer if he didn't start the year with a very mediocre Ottawa team.

Why stop there then? Review everything.

I think it's just absurd that microscopic offsides reviews, often impossible to detect by the human eye, seem so detached from the goal being scored. In theory, I guess. But this year it has been exploited beyond belief. Every goal that's scored, coaches rush to see if it was perhaps offsides, even 30 seconds earlier. Bleh.

Remember when John Leclair scored a goal through the side of the net in a playoff game against the Sabres (Lindy Ruff) I believe? Can't get away with anything anymore. SMH.

It's too bad this game isn't close - lotsa hockey left and the Flyers definitely came back from a 3-0 deficit in a game 7 before but still - was hoping for a tighter game. Honestly enjoy watching both teams play. Tons of skill on both sides.
