That is contractual. Nothing they could do there. Everything else I agree with.

showed a lot of early promise and then he stole Tim's crib sheet, I guess...

he seems to roll with 'notch and the cheed on road trips (just based on their tweets) and ended up writing like them. sounds like asf and isaac are buds and both happen to be good beat writers. hopefully isaac lands on his feet covering the flyers somewhere quickly.

Carchidi is the one who has the intelligence of an Apple Toaster Strudel. I get the two confused nowadays. Carchidi and Serevelli, not the Pop Tarts and Toaster Strudel.


How Seravelian sad is it that in just a few months we go from praising Seravelli as an up and comer, to comparing him to Sam Carchidi as a hockey writer?

I actually miss the days when Rich Hoffman and Les Bowen were the primary hockey guys in this town.

Tappan on the NHL on the Fly starts by saying the Flyers and Boston both coming in off of losses saturday.......

WIP just said the FLyers lost to boston 5-4.

Seriously, can they check this stuff before saying it on the air. Tappan esp drives me nuts. her saying Bernie Parent's name wrong several times had me fuming

The Bruins met the President today. Tim Thomas didn't go. Last time I recall that happening, it was when Mark Chmura of the Packers refused to meet President Clinton. Later he was charged with statutory rape after having sex with his 17 year old baby sitter.

Pure class, Tim. Pure class. Respect the office, not necessarily the man holding it.

another words, you'll pick arbitrary starting points to bolster your range-of-the-moment opinions- got it!
- isaiah520



There was nothing arbitrary about it. It was a simple statement backed up with some numbers, that show that Bryzgalov has shown improvement in the last 3 games. That's what I'm looking for from Bryzgalov. Improvement. I'm not expecting a switch to be thrown and Bryzgalov to go from a disapointing first half of the Season, right into playing like the Goalies we thought we were getting when we signed him. I'm expecting, or hoping that it will be a steady increase in the quality of his play, heading down the stretch. Ad if he doesn't do that, theyn I'll judge his play with the same objectivity and lack of bias that I do in judging any player. It's not a difficult concept.

Not as yet, but he is a self proclaimed big fan of Glenn Beck, so if it's not political, I'd be surprised.

If it's not, I will happily retract my criticism.

I thought Richie and Carter left the switch behind in high school yearbook bequeathing ceremony...

"I, Mike Richards, hereby bequeath to Ilya Bryzgalov my cap space and this effort switch that Lava found washed up on Dry Island..."

Meh. Were it a listener of Keith Olbermann and he skipped out on Dubya, he'd be lauded for exercising his right as an American. /Meh.

He was busy fixing his shortside short comings. Doesn't want the Beantown faithful to go all Bryz on him.

Either that or he was stuck in that cab with that lady, who doesn't believe he is who he says he is....
