I have a friend coming in from Germany on Thursday. He's been here a few times already so I'm looking for some interesting/fun things to do when he arrives that we haven't done already. Anyone in the Philadelphia area have some suggestions for things do? Like I said he's done must of the Philadelphia standards.

Thanks in advance to anyone with suggestions.

i saw an article on philly.com two sources who are close to the teams said the flyers have not talked trade with nashville,so what does that mean with a day to go they have not talked.looks like nashville is matching me thinks

Flip a coin. I've been saying he isn't coming from start. Others feel it isnt too much for Nashville

I think we are definitely going to go to a phillies game as well as a union game. Also already have a shore trip planned. A buddy of mine lives in Northern Liberties so we will definitely be heading there as well.

Thanks!

Richards and JVR for Weber.

If the Preds are smart they'll move on from Weber and seriously strt locking up their 7 RFAs coming up next year. It's a deep draft and although they have no 2nd they have 2 first(assumes weber gone), 1 3rd, 2 4th, 3 5th, a 6th and 2 7th. If I'm them I ask for Meszaros, MAB and 2013, 2014 and 2015 1st rounders.

Bart: Well, Jim, since you are my guest and I am your host, what's your pleasure? What do you like to do?
Jim: Oh, I don't know. Play chess... screw...
Bart: [quickly] Well, let's play chess.

Barcade in Northern Libs...or Morgans' Pier?

Glad you didnt take offense, just messin

rangers were 20th in the league last year with an average of 28.5 shots/game.

also, regarding forwards and their prime years:

And the difference between the Rangers being in the top 10 in the NHL is shots per game is how many shots? 2 shots! Gaborik scored 41 goals playing for the Rangers last Season. Obviously the opportunities are there.

Your first link is an estimate. And also where the author included players in the AHL and IHL. Who are far lesser talented players then a Nash is.

Your second link looks at players who are in their mid to late 30's. If Nash was in that age group, I'd say he's past his prime. But he isn't. Nash is 28. He is in his prime as a player.

I thought i heard something about a MRSA issue there, but not finding any news articles or comments on it; so it may have just been a rumor. Worth mentioning.

That aside, I've been there a few times and always a good time with good beers.

MRSA is easily avoided with covering open wounds and frequent hand washing.

He's been there before but maybe there is something new. I know Brauhaus Schmidts is there so obviously he'd like that.
