So Bobby Ryan is day-to-day with a UBI.

I know he's a local boy and all, but honestly...kind of a Richard on the ice. Very happy the Flyers didn't try to outbid Ottawa.

You'll get a canned response like:

We have players we believe are more suited for that role.

He's their best shot suppressing forward. Good PKs usually feature, you know, good hockey players. But hey, what do I know?

Maybe his weird shot blocking technique is a factor, but I doubt it.

Aw, crap. Wrist slap for me. My bad.

Still, he's got issues this year, thus the scratch.

Teams haven't "figured him out." It's just that every mistake he makes this year is ending up in the back of the net. Mason and Neuvirth bailed him out a lot last year.

You could see the team was desperately missing a puck mover on the back end last night. They had a lot of trouble moving the puck through the neutral zone.

They certainly did. Weird how hockey works sometimes. Puck luck and a solid goalie performance gets them the W. I think he has had a few more gaffes this year in the defensive zone, but the whole team has been poor when it comes to playing in the defensive zone and exiting it. Coots, of all players, has uncharacteristically been one of the worst flyers' forwards when it comes to exiting the D zone. And like you said, the goal-tending hasn't helped up to this point. Fortunately, their goal-tending and play in the defensive zone has improved the past few games.

What the what? The NES Classic Retro (with 30 pre-loaded games) for $180 and up??? For the old 8-bit system with 30 games, most of which you'll never play!? Wow.

Wait for them to restock, initial shortages and big aftermarket mark ups are Nintendo traditions.

I don't want one, but a coworker here asked me how much one costs because her grandson asked for one. I was shocked to find out what the resale market is like for a 30-year-old gaming system.

Gordon's minimum LTIR period ends in a week. Anyone know if he has been skating at practice?

When he's healthy someone needs to be demoted or moved because they would have 24 players on the roster.

Ew... just use an emulator and roms and play it for free like most tech savvy people.

You also get unlimited games, and imports.

I know... took that trade of... I forget who, the 4th line center when we still had Sutter, very hard due to his advanced stats.
