Goalies are a crapshoot. There's been so many highly drafted goaltenders that fizzle.

Jamie Storr, Eric Fichuad, Maxime Ouellett, Trevor Kidd, Marc Denis, Ari Ahonen, Jason Bacashihua and Brent Krahn were all first rounders since 1995.

Good Read!!

Joe Watson. I've been in his company on several occasions and have found him to be nothing but a truly nice gentleman. Extremely approachable, he has always been a pleasure to speak with. Always pleasant with a laundry list of terrific stories.

If you'd like to have a five minute conversation with Joe, make sure you carve out at least a half an hour of your time. You will never get a one word answer to any of your questions.

Maybe in your case, he was fascinated with your resemblence to Al Lewis.

Absolutely! When I interviewed him a few years ago, I never even got to finish many of the questions. I' prepared questions with lead-ins such as "Vic Stasiuk took over for Allen as coach in your third year with the Flyers. Can you compare them as coaches?" All I'd get out was "Vic Stasiuk..." or "You roomed with Bobby Orr...." and Joe would be off and running for the next 10 minutes!

It's likely that Hovinen or Heeter sees some NHL action this year* (or at least dresses as the back-up), no? If Bryz or Leighton goes down, one of them would have to be called up.

Also, I've probably told this story a hundred times here, but the very first game I took my future wife to was Pelletier's only start as a Flyer. 5-0 shutout by Damian Rhodes and Ottawa. We went to see her favorite player, Vanbiesbrouck (because he drove a minivan). So we didn't get to see her favorite player, or a Flyers goal.

Maybe in your case, he was fascinated with your resemblence to Al Lewis.

My guess is because I was conversing with him while hanging upside down.

Uh... I may have hit a ! while on my iPhone. This site is tough to manage on the touch screen.

great job Bill

So I was called today from a lovely lady from Direct TV about getting NHL Center Ice..... I told her I wasnt sure if there was even going to be a season and she said early bird is $99.99 so I did it. Does anyone think I was in the wrong? Will there be a season? I think there will and it was only $99.99.

I know this has nothing to do with what you wrote (great piece yet again btw), but is it possible for LUKE Schenn to player with the Phantoms this season?

no.
