Briere had a stellar game, seemed to be skating really well. Getting primed for the real season.

Shelly Wellwood Jagr is the craziest line combo we might see all season.

Manning looked nervous at first but had a pretty good game. He has a nice hard shot.

What the heck got into Hartnell this year? Last season he would have fallen down before getting a shot off on his breakaway. Now he is sniping goals with the best of them.

Did Lilja get a penalty for giving Theodore a snow shower? That is silly.

Will Schenn replace Czechie on the right point/half wall on the #1 PP unit?
He looked pretty dangerous in that spot.

I just loved when Carle went after Skille for hitting Bryz. Attaboy Matt.

Grossmann looks like he was meant to be a Flyer. Can't wait to see his new deal signed

From what I heard, he really wants to stay in Philly... So is 5 million over-paying? I think if you structured a deal the right way you could get Suter for about 6. Since he is under 30... You can give him a 12 year deal structured to pay him up front, and making his cap hit like 5.5 to 6 million...

Is Suter really that much better then Carle? Remember he plays w Weber every night. I would reather keep Carle and wait a year and go after Weber with Kimmo's hit coming off the books

I agree with you. The problem is what if Weber isnt available the year after. You will still have Carle but you have the option to replace Timonen with Edler, Enstrom or White. The Flyers could also explore another trade to.

As long as it's not a NMC then they arent that bad. Give him 12 years and a NTC... That way if he sucks they can Redden his Arse...
- RooNosHockey


If he's going to be a teams number 1 defenseman he will get the NMC.

Edler is not a bad fallback plan plus maybe Kimmo signs for a discount for another year or two

That's what I'm thinking. No doubt, the Flyers need a #1 defenseman to replace Pronger. The thing is, I don't think that's something we can bank on solving this summer. I also think it'll end up being a trade that gets us this player.

Possible. I think Vancouver would be crazy to let Edler hit the open market next summer. He is a very good defenseman. Deadly on the PP also.

Does anyone know how far west MSG+ goes? I'm going to 20 miles or so north of Philly for the weekend, and I know I'll be able to catch the Philly game, but I was wondering if Saturday's game would be there....

Anyone know this?

I'll be by like Allentown and such....

If I remember correctly, it sounds like Kimmo wanted to retire after this contract. Perhaps somebody recalls better than I.

Do you think that if Nashville loses Suter this summer they will let Weber walk too?

I looked in the broadcasting zones. It was very vague though, simply saying "Northeast Pennsylvania" I know that area is more of central, but I was hoping it would be in there. This is what it said....

I guess I'll see when I get there, at least I'll be able to catch the Philly game, anyways, thanks.

Unfortunately it wont be up to Nashville. I'm pretty confident both guys want a change in scenery.
