likewise, but not now. i hate that (frank)ing team. and i really don't hate the pens. just kind of a non-entity. sure i hate crosby, and letang, and that bowling ball head fat (frank), kessel....but i don't hate the team.
- hammarby31


the caps obviously have wilson to hate. ovechkin is a douche. but the level of just admiration for how (frank)ing good he is does dull it for me for some reason. i admit that is pretty irrational. if it wasnt for games against you guys, i had no idea chimera was such a female genitalia. but (frank) him.

nick backstrom is impossible for me to hate. other than the (frank)ing annoying geico commercials on saturated coverage repeat.

haha i'm surprised you hate kessel so much. he's aesthetically such a (frank)up its downright comical.

I was wondering where all their young guys came from... sheary, kuhnackle, etc?

draft picks they kept?

their bottom 6 seems to working out for a change

- Marc D


its unreal. anyone saying they saw this coming is full of poop. none of them are THAT talented. but they are competent, absolutely full of hustle and fly everywhere. speed and hunger to burn. they don't have a drouin among them.

but rust and kuhnackle are both good bottom 6 guys. and i've seen enough of sheary to want him with crosby full time, now and in the future.

i was fearing that as well..or just as bad to me right now, that (frank)wad, shaw.

i was mad yesterday. still mad. but not that mad. i'm always mad when the playoffs end for us because i think about it taking a whole year to get back to this place. and that irritates the (frank)ing hell out of me.

I take solace in the fact that I'm not the only one that grows enraged at a playoff loss/elimination, "expected" or not.

i completely get that. i just thought i sensed more pure hatred there. as in (frank) these guys because i objectively hate them. regardless of the series that just occurred.

I'm thinking about a 3/4/5 pick

is that even possible to move there?

I don't want to really know the price if it includes provy

even simmonds and our first would be too much for me and probably not enough for the team with the top 5 pick

- Marc D


Not sure who you're interested in besides probably Puljujarvi at 3. But if you want to move that high it's an arm and a leg. It's a weird draft: outside of a couple players, 4 to maybe 12-14 is so close. I think there's some overrated players in there that don't really separate themselves imo from those below, and some below who I like better than the consensus. It's a real cluster (frank) in that range. I think if they really covet a Jost or Keller (I wouldn't move up for Jost I think), cost goes down. Both could be outside top ten, and suddenly cost decreases a lot for a player of better value and equal talent in that range. I'd do that and only that to move up, if I'm Hexy.

Laine - he's ridiculous. I'd trade a lot of farmland for that kid.

He's insane. Forget just farmland...I would trade Old MacDonald, Dorothy Gale, Tom Joad and their entire families, the painting "American Gothic," and stock in Farmer's Insurance to get Laine.

Problem is they'd still ask for 2 of Sanheim, Provorov, Konecny or something absurd to get to picks 1 or 2.

Crosby tore it up late in Game 7. He even played a half of a shift.

I used to hate the penguins a lot more than I do now...maybe because I dont live there anymore, but I think mostly because they purged a lot of the garbage that came with playing the Flyers. This year they just went right down to business. Malkin and Letang top the list but a lot of the other guys I liked before they were Pens (Kessel, Hags, Maatta, Hornqvist)

Why would you want to sign him? Not that I disagree just curious to hear reasoning.

Ladd - Giroux - Voracek
Schenn - Couturier - Simmonds
Raffl - Cousins - Umberger
Vande Velde - White - Bellemare

Trade that filth Read. Gagner gone.

If Konecny is ready, switch him with Umbergerer

Problems solved.

Flyers need scoring. They need a top 6 left winger.

If the price was reasonable, I'd agree.

But I think he wants 6 x 6.

Agree we need both, but wasn't he asking or turned down a 6 year deal with a cap near 6 Mil? Id think he'd be a nice addition with his scoring and physical play, but I think I'd prefer Backes even over him which would shape our Cs nicely
Giroux
Backes
Couts
Cousins

Could swap Backes and Couts depending on linemates

Love to have Pietrangelo in Orange and Black
- Marc D


What type of package would the Flyers need to put together to get Pietrangelo, and Tarasenko. Those are exactly the type of players the Flyers need.

An all around first pairing stud, and a sniper.
