Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Flyers Olympic Update -- Day 3

The more I watch the Wafflenator, the more I love. I forgot to DVR the games for today, and I'm kicking myself for it right now.

I DVRed it. And now I am cathing up to the Finnish onslaugt.

Carter with a hat trick and +5 today. I guess he deserves to be there after all.

Then why didnt they all get hat tricks?

How didn't Giroux make this team? How

Not enough time.

Would you argue Austria is likely an AHL-level team playing against a Dream Team in Canada?

I'm gonna say the following:

The fact that Raffl doesn't look out of place playing TEAM CANADA really, really makes me excited. Kid's gonna be an integral part to this team IMO

yes. canada still isnt exactly grooving. a large portion of the offense is still heavily reliant on the dmen.

He'll be traded by the start of next season.

For this team primary need: a big, shutdown, stay-at-home defenseman.

I hate your defense. The jealous kind of hate. You and all of your Olli Maata's.

Clone Grossmann.

Steve Yzerman is a fruit loop

i realize its hard to say after winning by 6. but still. its austria. and a few of the goals were pretty soft. they arent choking by any means, but its not as if they have been this unstoppable dynamo shift after shift. forwards are still looking a little off

I hate your defense. The jealous kind of hate. You and all of your Olli Maata's.

i. love. him.

i. love. him.

I hear Olli Maatta actually invented the concept of mistakes, just so he can never make them.

That guy has been really...I mean, REALLY...impressive.

a complete disgrace

He once made a mistake, just to know what it felt like. Mere moments later, the space-time continuum failed.

no, but i do think that in a years time he could single handedly raise the flyers to another level.

God willing, that will happen.

Maata for Rosehill and a 5th, a la OKT for Leino.
