This Marshall trade is a head scratcher.. 41st overall pick..
for some unknown winger .. i guess its another salary dump maneuver

Important weekend in the Standings!!

Rangers do not play until Sunday. If we can pull something off against New Jersey, we could be one point behind the Rangers and seriously playing for best in the East. We're now tied with the Bruins but the Bruins have a game on us but they were shut out this evening.

Side Bonus for the Flyers.

Thanks to the Leafs shutout over the Pens, Giroux is now 2 points behind Malkin for the league lead!

A lot to be excited about.

Good write up on the trade from Tim McManus

Sounds like Ford is a bit better than most are giving him credit for. He may be unknown to us, but he's instantly the second leading scorer on the Phantoms now.

I wonder where JVR and Briere will play when they return? Will Briere play wing again possibly?

Hartnell-Giroux-Jagr
vanRiemsdyk-Couturier-Briere
Read-Schenn-Simmonds
Rinnaldo-Talbot-Voracek

Ford's a 28 year old who has never sniffed the NHL. He was acquired to provide the Phantoms more forward depth. They had 8 defensemen and had to use one of them as a winger at several points during the season. This was strictly a trade to balance the depth on the Phantoms.

Great win last night and I would LOVE to see up pass the Rangers with a win. Only caveat is I want someone to beat that idiot Rupp senseless, and then salute to the MSG crowd!

Like I said yesterday, Ford is also a UFA this summer, so it will free up a contract. I am sure this was a factor as well. We essentially gave up on Marshall, and got nothing for him, but what are you going to do?

I think they felt that Marshall had developed all he could here. Ford's not a bad AHL level guy. Maybe they feel more free to deal a forward for NHL help or perhaps they got some bad injury news & will need to keep Sestito and Zolnierczyk up for awhile

I saw other posting issues about firefox and this site.

They had to switch to IE to post.

Briere and JvR skating one day and not the next is concerning, for sure. Hopefully it's nothing major.

Firefox isn't working for me, and it stopped working on IE too. I had to download Opera just to check in here this morning.

I'm not having any issues with IE, Safari or even Chrome, although I only tried to get to the main page with the last one.

Maybe. It's been a long week, so I may have missed a day's news.

We'll see how they do today, I guess.

Long week? Did you run out of meth or something?

Opera's ad block is working quite nicely, too.

(Although I shouldn't say that publicly, right? It'll be the next browser that gets blocked)

Your avatar makes me think of Striker from Airplane.

Love that movie!
