I guess that's true. He did fine in the top 9 last year. Really helped the 3rd line. I thought he was a good help to the 2nd PP unit too. Never understood the sentiment that the team needed to get "bigger" when it was obvious this team needed more skill.
- PhillySportsGuy


He had his hot streaks and solid moments but in the end he didn't do enough to justify a contract. I have no issue behind the logic of Hexy's off season moves, even in hindsight. Neither player has lived up to his thought process but I think Weise is starting to show what he was brought in to do. Gordon looks to be a swing and a miss.

I did. They turned me down. Said I don't have enough armchair coaching experience. Nor do I copy/paste analysis well enough to be GM.
- Scoob



Honestly one doesn't have to be a pro coach or GM to have an opinion on players. 25 and 13 have been with the team all season and Leier for a stretch of games. Not being a so called expert doesn't mean people don't form opinions of players. I personally dislike the makeup of the 4th line. is it make or break for the team? no. but all 4 lines of forward and 3 lines of defense are important to some degree when it comes to building a cup contender.

You must agree with every move that the Flyers make, defend all of their players, and never question a decision. This is the way of the farce.

Right. Same goes for an opinion on how the coach uses players. I have no problem with coach using CV as he does. This opinion seems to infuriate some folks, though.

I'd like to see a woman pull that one off today.

"Yeah, um...I know we're married and haven't had sex yet, but I'm pregnant. But it's cool, and angel told me that it's all good."

I have an issue with VDV, as an NHL player. I don't think VDV makes or breaks a team, but I do think that the coach overrelies on VDV. Your infatuation with Claude Vilgrain is becoming scary. Why don't you stick to current players like VDV?

I don't know, it's is some book. I only read the first and last chapter. Some real zingers in there.

Edit: What married man is going to run around bragging about not having had sex with his wife?

"So guys, my wife and I haven't had sex, but she's pregnant. And were were told by the angel that-"
"Wait...you're married, but you haven't had sex yet?"
"Yes. But guys, the angel totally said-"
"You mean, you married a woman...and haven't had sex yet?"
"Well, I mean...we held hands a few times."

I don't think they consider it bragging but I hear a lot of married men say that.
