If we're trading Provorov, McDavid or Matthews better be coming back!

I envision him having some sort of scotch distributor who comes by every day and has some sort of voice-activated scotch disposal system to fill his glasses. Hard to pour a glass when you've already got a full glass in both hands.

If a team prices themselves out, you don't make the deal.
- SuperSchennBros


So, what players would you like to acquire, and what would you be willing to part with that the other team would take in order to part with their player?

You need hands to operate those. BiggE does not have free hands during scotch time.

I don't know what Four line players, PK specialist go for in this day in age but I assume it shouldn't be a lot, is it?

I asking for holes to get plugged. They should be plugged. July 1st isn't the only time to do this.
- SuperSchennBros


You don't plug holes until you've built the foundation. I get you don't have the patience for Hextall's plan but he hasn't lead you on to expect anything different. He has also created optimism that the upgrades this team needs are coming from within. I will hold him to that the next couple seasons but upgrading this team now to be much better than they are would be costly and counter productive.

Actually I'm not mad as I always say to friends outside the area that the area I live in is more Philly than stereotypical Jersey. Which is north/NYC suburbs...

If you're getting good ones, from teams that are out of the playoffs, you'd be surprised. I don't think Hexy should be trading anying better than a 4th round pick or C+ prospect for 4th line role players.

Don't we wish the rumored arena in Camden happened instead of the Corestates/First Union/Wachovia/Wells Fargo Center

For bridge toll purposes, yes...but then they wouldn't be in Philadelphia. Just like the Giants/Jets. Also, it would be in Camden. Do you want to drive around Camden at night?

I've told people I'm 15 minutes from the stadium complex on a non game day 30 on game days. I get some jealous looks. I used to watch the fireworks at the Vet from my back yard when I was a kid.

I went to Rutgers Camden for a year. It wasn't bad unless it was Mischief Night. Oh the stories of that night.

As I've gotten older, I've grown to hate fireworks, mostly due to them going off between 11 PM and 1:30 AM on New Year's.
