Probably not.

If they are out of the playoffs at the TDL and they decide to trade Mark Streit, I can see them bringing AMac back up.

So, today's argument is over Prongers injury classification? Really?

You guys don't get out much, do you?

Blame Couturier and Schenn for scoring too many damn points.

Thanks Bill. Lucky win last night. With the third period being just plain bad, we actually fared well during OT. I am still surprised that the forwards were no where in site on the last goal, and Parise had a freebee in front of the net. I am not excusing Shutz, and Mason, but to let a forward sit in front of the net like that is not good. Our forwards have a tendency to leave the zone, sit at the line waiting for a pass while watching the play unfold, or get ahead of the puck, and over skate the puck. I don't know why they are in such a hurry, but they forget to stay in the field of play, thus creating a noticeable gap between the D, and forwards; even our announcers during the game noticed this gap.
In addition, the turnovers will eventually catch up with us, and to expect the goalies to bail us out is not an option. G, please stop with the "no-look" passes. Not everyone is as skilled as you are, or is expecting the pass. In addition, lets get some pucks on net. How many times do you hear that the shot is high, and wide? Or we dump the puck in, and no one gets to the puck.
Finally, what is up with our play in the last five minutes of every period? Do we just stop playing, and are waiting for the period to end?
We have two good wins under our belt, but they were harder to get than they needed to be. Is it lack of effort? Is it lack of focus? Is it lack of quality players? Only the players, and coaches can answer that one. And, this is where I question the players. It has been our MO for a while now, and something has to change in order for the team to be competitive every night, and for a playoff spot.

Flyer at least have to eat half of his salary to trade him
- Landsbergfan


Flyers would have to eat 80% of his salary and 3-years off his contract to move him... sadly that's not allowed in this CBA.

On a routine dump in and a goalie stop behind the net, the forwards are moving to their breakout positioning. It was a botched routine play. Parise is the first forecheck in. If you mess that up and the puck winds up in front of the net, the opposition forward is not going to be covered.

Sure there is: If he can't handle the role he is in and if another team who might have interest passes because they don't want the extra year.

What's overblown is you rushing to the defense of an average-at-best player -- are you seriously wanting to fight about this today?

Fwiw, Mason loves him.

You have to be highly selective in who you follow. For hockey, I follow maybe 4 guys.
