#Leafs and #Flyers still trying to pull of a JVR/Schenn swap
- Sink.

I'm on the fence. I won't hate the move but the deal really should be in our favor.

As long as we get another forward coming our way, i am totally fine with it. We NEED young d-men under contract

Yeah, but I have a JVR jersey. That alone should force Homer to hang up the phone.....

Yeah, I know. Just trying to match up to the intellectual insight he put into his answer.

It would be so nice if everyone around here would try to demonstrate their superior intelligence by demonstrating their superior intelligence instead of complaining about the perceived intelligence of other posters.

That's the most unintelligent thing I've ever heard

Even during his dip he was putting in the effort every shift.
I am very surprised about his scoring touch and hands around the net, and how big he plays along the walls for a slim 185 lbs.
- Marc D

You figure he'll start filling out eventually, no? Or maybe he's one of those fast metabolism guys and will have to work hard to be durable without any meat on his bones.

leafs don't have enuf to afford JVR unless a # 1 is coming back as part of the return. I would look at another dman instead.

Jesus, Barkann really pisses me off.

I hope he doesn't lose his speed if he does bulk up.

I am surprised how tough he is in fights and along the walls and still has a soft touch around the net.

I'm thinking 15-20 lbs over a few years isn't too much. He's pretty skinny now.

trade JVR for a puck mover like subban, not a def dman like schenn...esp w/ the uncertainty w/ carle. don't like pk? fine- j Johnson. GMs are putting their reps on the line for guys who pass the puck out of the zone or rush it and provide some O as well. would schenn bring Neal and niskanen?

I feel like this is the 10th time I've seen this guy quoted for a JVR/Schenn dealie. Is he historically accurate?
- steelydan

Apparently, she did the show on a bad hamstring, which she pulled last week. I though she looked a bit less confident of her footing than usual, even before she slipped at the top of the little stands they had set up there. Enjoyed the show. (And after the horror that was the Black Eyed Peas last year, I doubt they'll ever have anyone who's not lipsyncing again.)
- bodiva88

Why Madonna? Who was she supposed to appeal to? 45 year old gay men?

That's fine. Really, leading by example always has a place in the locker-room. Calling your teammate out can even be justified in certain scenarios and certain manners. If you have a bad apple that is ignoring his coach and teammates should be thrown to the wolves, so he can see how much of an idiot he is really being.

Bryz, on the other hand, doesn't need Kimmo giving backhanded comments to the reporters. Talk about providing ammo for reporters to attack a player that is already fragile in terms of confidence. If he's a leader, why doesn't he take Bryz aside and talk to him as a leader? What benefit is there to throwing that out there for the reporters to yuk up and use against Bryz?

I'll say it again. Calling out a teammate to the media (if that's in fact what he did) is a cowardly action and there really is no dressing up that action. If his motive for calling out Bryz is to motivate him to play better, his actions are counter-productive because it's painfully obvious to the whole team that Bryz is not the guy you want answering questions in front of cameras. Kimmo played it wrong.

And I love Kimmo. In the same group as Simmonds, Couts, Talbot; I feel like they bring 100% every game and leave it out there.
- steelydan

Couts had a very poor backcheck on one of the goals yesterday, I believe it was the 3rd Rangers goal. Uncharacteristic for him but he needs to realize that he can't lolly gag back like that. Giroux was setting a good example earlier this year but it has seemed to tail off lately.

No thanks to jack Johnson. No clue defensively.

Why Tom Petty?

Exactly, 10 games into his Flyers career, Bryzgalov has the same credibility as Timonen does.
- PLindbergh31

Who's talking about credibility of a player? I personally have no problem with what Timonen said. But calling out a player on your team to the press is either throwing a teammate under the bus or it isn't. Regardless of who says it.

I would hate to see them trade Jvr.

Keep JVR. That Schenn rumor needs to die. We'll take Gunnarson.

- bodiva88

Why anything? 30 minutes of commericals would be more enjoyable, especially during the Super Bowl.

Subban is intriguing, actually I think he would be a great Flyer. I don't want any part of JJ.

It will die eventually. 23 more days.....

He is an American classic.
I am not a big Madonna fan but did like her show yesterday.
