Well, there were rumors that the Habs took a look at him, but passed...since then, he's spoken about retiring.

I just look at a guy like Brendan Morrow making $1.5mm and feel if Gags wants to play, he'll need to accept a small salary

- Jsaquella


you could right. and at that number he might think it's worth the grind and risk of further injury. he's had a solid career, a cup and a gold. not much left to play for other than the love of it. and 1.5 million dollars.

He fell and his leg kind of whipped around and hit the Columbus player. He had to be helped off the ice.

If Schenn could just make a read consistently he'd be so much better.

My worry is that it seems his confidence takes a hit and it snowballs on him. He's unsure of himself and gets to running around.

I'd give him a reel of Brad Marsh highlights to watch over the holidays.

Similar abilities. Both below avg to average skaters. Both stay at home d-men who play the body.

Brad really know how to make the best of his limitations and was a terrific defensive d-man who exhibited a lot of leadership qualities. This was the same general description of LSchenn coming out of juniors.

I don't think copulation means what you think it means.

You must have missed him getting broken Saturday night.

I hate it when a guy is down and in the line of fire and they keep playing. I understand if play has gone the other way, but the threat of a puck to the face of a guy in no position to defend himself always freaks me out.

- bodiva88


no, i saw it. i just forgot. it looked like a skate might have cut the back of his leg, but i saw he was able to walk down the tunnel, thankfully.

there will come a time when the players wear full facial protection. might take awhile, but it will happen.

the other way was better. At least it gave everyone here something to laugh about because it was funny, not because it is so sad like this team.

It was weird driving into work along Kelly Drive.

Very foggy along the river.

And now, it's a torrential downpour.

I wouldn't be so eager to make so many massive changes. I wouldn't trade Voracek, and honestly, if I could get anything of value for Hartnell, I'd try to keep Simmonds.

The Flyers need more of a tweak that a massive rebuild, IMO.

- Jsaquella


Im not saying i personally would like to see Voracek go but i feel in order to get someone to compliment Giroux he is going to wind up being the main piece of a trade as well as Schenn and Simmonds... I like both Voracek and Simmonds but i just feel that with Simmonds and Hartnell being the same kind of player, Simmonds being the better of the two and McGinn being the same type of player but able to pot as many goals as simmonds, its just stupid they havent brought him up to stay... They need to pull the trigger on something involving Hartnell...
