LOL @ Kevin Weekes and John Buccigross commentary. Streit magically turned into a traffic cone. Again I'll say it. I don't see that man getting traded. Flyers will eat his contract and like it.


- Pixote Andolini



He'll get moved. He can help a playoff team. He would be fine as a 3rd pair, PP guy. Look at Kimmo. He was moved and looked just as bad as Streit.

A player like Streit can get moved at the TDL. Playoff teams love to add that depth and he will be FA after that.

I like Trouba, hell I think he could be a top pair guy.

The contract demands are insane. Prove it first before you want that mega deal.

"Arrogant and insulting".

Say it isn't so. Joke tournament.

- flyer_nutter


How does the behavior of who ESPN hired as in studio commentators make the tournament a joke? Watching the young players and skill level that was on display was fun to watch.

False. Cones don't move. Why did Streit move left as NM moved to Streit's right? I'll guess he was anticipating the kid would cut in but, yikes, bad guess.

This is the reason I think Voracek might work there.

Is Konecny a playmaker? Haven't had a chance to watch him in depth.

He seems like a speedy smaller winger who likes to go hard to the net.

I keep trying to forget about the Schenn suspension. What a load of BS that is.

- Marc D


In that Flyers/Caps playoffs series, Schenn was like the smallest and most weakest player to throw a lesser dirty hit between him and the caps who were throwing dirty hits to be suspended. It was almostt as if Glen Healy taddled on him.

It's pretty sad that two guys I loved as players are such awful, Skip Bayless-wannabees behind the microphone.

Didn't get to catch any of the games last night but I am glad that Couts was given one of the "A"s. I'm hoping this tournament can be another great chance for him to gain confidence in his game before entering this season similar to 14-15 with Team Canada.

But he got beat off the rush by one of the NHL's best skaters in a September preseason game. I put that in the Hot Take Generator Machine and it says it means Streit he will have zero value to any NHL team in 16-17, including the Flyers.

Gostisbehere also did not have a goal last night. Therefore, he will never ever score another goal.

Because it is all a big money grab by the bourgeoisie against the proletariat, comrade.

Ha!
I watched the game.
Chara looked even worse, beat multiple times on the rush by the speedsters... I guess he has no value left either.

McKinnon and McDavid looked like they were playing in another gear all night. They both stood out as the best skaters on the ice and there were some other very fine skaters out there.


I loved watching Jonny Gaudreau as well. Wish he was a Flyer.

I am hoping that this tournament will have the same impact for Ghost and Coots that the '87 Canada Cup did for Tocchet.

Yeah, Chara looked done. That entire Team Europe is just a mess, as can be expected.

Gaudreau is such a stud. 104th pick overall in that draft. Appears to be the best player from that class right now.

They do have the best national anthem.

Raise sails head for the open sea.
With sails full of wind - our hearts
Overflow with belief.

The guest for the grail
to Denmark, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Slovenia, Austria, and Norway
we sail,with our steel. We
Bring what was lost. If
Lives are the cost, let it be.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. Brave and grand. On Danish, Slovakian, German, Switss, Italian, French, Slovenian, Austrian, and Norwegian
Ground - we were born. Proudly
We return. - To Danish, Slovakian, German, Switss, Italian, French, Slovenian, Austrian, and Norwegian shore

Hail, hail, hail.

We march from the hills
Down to a European Town. -
Join Raise your hand - or hide
When we ride for the crown.

The sign of the hammer and
The black winds blow through
The night. Long was our wait
Our meeting with Fate is tonight.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. Brave and grand. On Danish, Slovakian, German, Switss, Italian, French, Slovenian, Austrian, and Norwegian
Ground - we were born. Proudly
We return. - To Danish, Slovakian, German, Switss, Italian, French, Slovenian, Austrian, and Norwegian shore

Hail, hail to Denmark, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Slovenia, Austria, and Norway -
Hail, hail, hail.

Standing tall - one and all -
Light the hall. -

Years have passed - I've dreamed
of this day.
As we raise our hands - we
proudly say.

Hail, hail to Denmark, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Slovenia, Austria, and Norway -
Hail, hail, hail.


Edit: I like their flag as well
