I've only been watching since the period started, but it looks like Cooter has found some newfound confidence on offense.

Yeah?

Only a moron would say that Comcast's CEO makes more than the entire Flyers roster. He made $27M in 2011.

You don't have to be a stockholder to find out what the CEO makes.

Did Verizon hurt Comcast sales?

Somewhat. Where I work, there's only one area that has Fios, and I know of at least 5 people that had it and switched back for whatever reason.

How many players have played for the Flyers twice. It's, like, his destiny, man.

I wonder if they try and talk Tim Thomas out of his extended vacation, going to be an interesting summer.

You would have to trade Simmonds first

If Mason is at that price, it just makes Bob's leaving more absurd. They really screwed themselves here. If you are hoping a goalie who hasn't played well in a couple years will suddenly turn it around, you are already in a bad place.
- feelingkettle

Let's not forget Lavi's role in Bob's eventual exit. Should've stuck with him through the playoffs.

As for this game...

But how would you know such things as a foot soldier? There is a leak somewhere. Heads HAVE to roll!

Okay. I didn't know if it has hurt Comcast business wise.

The future is bright except in goal. What happens if Mason poops the bed? He's had one good season and then crap since then. Are we really content in hoping it all works out magically as we did in the past?

It just makes getting rid of Bob all the more ridiculous. They got rid of a guy they already had for a good price, who had a nice upside, who is now tearing it up.

- feelingkettle


i hear ya, but it's not as if they traded read or couturier. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out

i think the new cba changed the bryz situation a lot. the "cap-savings" clawback provisions make his contract look a lot scarier long-term (not to say it wasn't scary to begin with). and having that option to get out from under a long deal after two or three seasons makes having a young nhl ready goalie more important. provides flexibility

this isn't to say they deserve no criticism, just that i believe changing circumstances around the league have something to do with it as well

I think you mean their injury situation. I heard Rinaldo is out with a bad dithyramb.
