I used to adhere to that. I don't gamble often or mess with Vegas or AC regularly but in the moment sports bets among friends is heaps of fun and I seem to have a knack for it (I've won so many bets actually betting that the Flyers would get scored on at particular times/places/players, etc).

I consider myself lucky to live in Brooklyn since 1997 and have 2 diehard Flyers fans to watch games with that aren't even from the Philadelphia area as I am.

That is a little different, but I'm already too emotionally involved...losing money on it would make me join the ranks of the folks that complain when the clouds in the sky aren't the perfect shade of white, or if Bryzgalov got his hair cut too short, or Shelley took a breath.

That's why I started to think Hal Gill. If they pay a premium, they need to get a young guy, signed to a good contract, who can be a big factor for several years. Can't rent a Ferrari

U got it. Heres to making the right choice Homer.

Yeah Hal Gill IMO is a helluva solid option for a rental TDL player on the blue and I recall even in recent playoff history of how well he played for the Habs the year Philly went to the Finals.

Who knows. I'm not sure haters is the right word, I think most people are disappointed with him, not hating on him.
- PLindbergh31


When he's labeled non competitive after posting a shut out, that's an example of hating on him.

There is plenty of hate towards Bryz. People expecting him to come in and be 55-5 with a 1.50 gaa 15 shoutouts .977 sv %

Just ridiculous.

- stveshdy


I don't think anyone was expecting that. I was expecting similar to what he did in Phoenix. Have to give him some slack for new team, new city, new conf, pressurized situation, etc.... He's starting to come around. He took a little step back in the Rangers game, then had a solid performance vs. the Islanders.

At the very least acquiring Gill for the playoff push would immediately address the softness in the crease for Philadelphia.

Just have to keep the costs down. There's a lot of solid defensemen in the draft. Not many Drew Doughtys or Alex Pietrangelos, but a lot of guys that project into really good top four guys

Luke Schenn had a strong game. Over 18 minutes of ice time. 2 assists, +1. 4 shots on goal, 3 hits, and 5 blocked shots. He's be a nice player to acquire.
