Good point. This stat alone doesn't say as much as I thought.

There are other variables to consider as well. For example, even strength blocked shots vs. PK blocked shots. And # of shots blocked vs. the # of shots taken.

A broad "blocked shots" stats is as valuable as +/-.

If we turn JVR into something that helps our team, I'm all for it. Let's just hope it's the other team that over pays if we make any moves.

me too
i'm not moving JVR unless we're blown away like the carter/richards deals

I think the point that was trying to be made is other teams find a way to get shots through and the Flyers dont. Just my thought on it.

Hard to argue. The Flyers record says otherwise though. The problem that I see is when the playoffs come around the games get tougher and your defense has to be better.

look at the caps the past years

great record great offense poop in playoffs

Is it wrong that I'm dreading Saturday. ANOTHER 1 pm start and against the Rangers, who don't believe in taking periods off?

Im worried about Tuesday against the Islanders. If they lose that game the buzzboard may have to shutdown with an error message.

No! Not at all.

They need to get their act together.

The last thing I want to hear is that chant in Philly, coming from rags fans!

Kelly Clarkson nailed the Anthem last night, by the way!

Good work by her!

Why haven't we traded for 2 dmen and a sniping winger. I'm tired of complaining about the guys we have. I need new blood.
