On a bit of a side note, I just booked my tix for Vegas in Feb. Anyone else going to the Flyers/Golden Knights game???
- WhirlingDervish


yes. watching them here against the coyotes, then road tripping to vegas. i think the knights are like 18-2-2 at home so far, or something like that. that's impressive no matter how you slice it.

Please Lord, in 2 weeks let Fletcher Cox blow thru the Pats O line and destroy Tom Brady.

i want to see this so bad. entire body plowing him literally under the ground. unfortunately they're playing on fake turf, which i think should be banned for a (frank)ing superbowl. play on the goddamn grass.

Anyone else worried about Mark Alt's development if he just sits out of the lineup?
- YuenglingJagr


gotta' feel bad for the call ups. it's not a promotion. it's just their turn to come out of the AHL and sit there.

Attention Eagles fans:

Since God hates me:

In 2008, the first and only time we’ve had a sports championship parade in Philly that I was alive for, I wasn’t able to go due to my best friend's father's funeral service.

So, since my wife is due with our son within the next 2 weeks, here’s what I see happening: 15 minutes before kickoff, my wife will go into labor. I will not be able to watch a second of the Super Bowl, which the Eagles will win. Then, I will not be able to attend the parade due to having a 2-day-old baby.

So, you’re all welcome for me winning the Eagles the Super Bowl.

- jmatchett383


thank you for your service. and your wife's, too.

But I tihnk Alt's on a 2-way deal and makes more than 6x his AHL salary while with the big club.

oh good. so we just eat up cap space for a 7th dman who's not gonna' play? that makes this decision even better.

Are we talking shattered leg-type injury, or full-on castration?
- jmatchett383


Both are acceptable.

There's actually a rugby league player who had to have his testicle removed from an injury. Funny thing is he actually played through the pain, and didn't have the surgery until after the game.

i would prefer sanheim play over manning. it's not the end of the world right now that he isn't and i'd prefer he go to LV to play if Coach Parking Meter refuses to play him, so fine. eventually he'll be back here and continue his development.

Naw, Alt is actually cheaper than Sanheim sitting in the box. Alt just makes more there than he would in the AHL... Good for the kid and the cap by a couple hundred thousand. Not a big deal either way.

I feel like he's going to go down and dominate the AHL. Then everyone is going to say that being sent down was the right thing to do for his development. 'He needed to go down to regain his confidence'. BS.

The kid has proven he can play at the AHL level, there is nothing more to learn down there that he can't work on up here. Kid can play.

i considered this could be the case after i posted, but the whole cap/salary thing annoys the (frank) out of me wrt to building a team, so i just let it be.

thanks for clarification.

Temp on Sanheim going down to the AHL?
Too many backpages to read and too many annoying Eagles chants in Center City Philly today.
