Please take all discussions about the implications of topicality to the Misc. board. This is a hockey forum.

Thank you.

Acquired for Marshall. I think Harry Z is more likely to return to roster for playoffs but Ford is the better pure offensive player.

I couldn't handle it. Not that I dislike Richards, I actually like him as a player, no reason not to, he always gave 110%, but seeing him and Carter winning before the Flyers after the trades would sting.

you really think Richards always gave 110%?

I'm glad you appreciate it cause I just hit my clever quota for 2012... Now it's back to ho-hum and hum-drum for the rest of the year.

Why have they sat Rinaldo on the bench for 2 out of the 3 3rd periods? Shelley is far more experienced as a veteran and far less likely to lose control, then Rinaldo.
- MJL

I agree. If the Flyers think they need a big body that can police out there (and I think they do after last game in case PIT goes all stupid again) then Shelley is the right call over Rinaldo. Shelley is slower, doesn't make nearly as many huge hits, and is less versatile. But, he is a big, disciplined, non targeted by the officials vet that can play his role. I agree he is the logical choice. Plus benching Rinaldo for a game could get him re-focused and would give Lavy a chance to see what Shelley can provide in a game that isn't a must win (I am not suggesting it is not an important game here).

No. Not even the more possible 100%.

Best case scenario... none of them actually have to play.
Although I think Harry Scrabble and Gusty could fill in for limited minutes in a pinch.
