nothing like the crackle of a frying mosquito (that's not quite true)

you should consider getting them bed nets - I know that sounds stupid, but the kids actually kind of like them. we don't use them at home, but when we go out into the bush they're helpful.

the racquets actually hurt a bit if you shock yourself so keep them out of J/R's hands.

Thoughts on that call?

And I'm being serious, here.

Im just glad someone hit Lundqvist. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

If the Habs win this game, it will be a miracle

I think Thomas Vanek being on his third team in one season is all you need to know about him. Notskill wise but as a person. I'm willing to bet he won't be in Montreal next season either.

What role or position a player played in his playing career has zero bearing on how good of a scout he is. And Brown is not the team's top scout. Chris Pryor is.
Flyers draft by BPA philosophy. I don't think that is going to change under Hextall.

that ain't working out too well

Agree.

I'm meh on the interference. To me, being smacked in the face with a stick- causing you to stop skating and reacting with a glove to your face- is the same as getting pushed into the goalie.

Should have been a high stick and no goalie interference in my opinion.

At 69mil cap that leaves like a little over 3 mil to fill that top d spot spending bare minimum on the forwards.

Is it safe to say that a cap dump of some sort is absolutely required?
