Ouch, but yay...he was holding his back, and that didn't look good, cuz I think he's a tough bugger.
- Woderwick

Yeah, hope he's ok. We argue about where he plays pretty frequently on here, but I think at least most would agree he is deserving to be on the team. He isn't the best offensively, but he does a lot of other things right, and I think he improved his shot last year.

Cost us 2 goals tonight. Though Sparks sucked bigtime too.
- Roadrunner75

Bigly.

Leivo is the happiest boy in the world if Hyman is out for a few weeks.
- Wissler

Better freakin do something with it. I'd pick someone else, though...Engvall for instance.

Imagine how bad it will be if we keep Gardiner for the playoffs and then let him walk next summer.

That is exactly what is going to happen.

Good grinder who isn't afraid of poop...I don't mind him at all.

Lillygrin has been learning how to play D and take penalties from Nielsen...

Ugh Lilly needs to chilly

Bigly.

I heard Patrick and Simmonds...so how many does he get?
- Woderwick

Yeah, beats me. You should probably ask someone more knowledgeable about Philly than I.

But...
Depends a bit on if Patrick has a good year. Simmonds I think is also more of a sniper than playmaker. I'm betting he gets at least 25.

Leivo is done.

If Hyman is out at all Id say opening more for an Engvall or other Marlie.

Thompson shoots like Laine a bit, really upright, lanky release.

Lilybust

I really like Marner on PK - as long as he's not diving in front of too many slappers that is of course

Damn. Ullmark with a hell of a nice save there.


Ok why did we bother signing Jooris again?!

Marincin, what if his problem all along is that his stick is too long? Went to Crappy Tire, bought the Chara sticks by mistake

Seems like Nielsen took couple steps backward...I had some hope for him. He faded a bit late last year...made an abnormal amount of mistakes I thought.

His skating is atrocious. Choppy stride.

That is exactly what is going to happen.
- Aetherial

I think so too actually. Gardiner will want to much, and considering his deficiencies and the other players due salary, Dubas won't want to re-sign him. We've got lots of decent defenders in the organization now. Someone will replace him.

He started off so well, but was just unable to take the next step.

He is more invisible than Goat

7 empty netters is my guess

I thought he looked good in the first half of the game, but now, not so much.
Needs a little more marinading in the AHL, which he'll get.

What a play by SDA

- lumlums

Yeah, I thought he'd be a first call up at one point.

7 Laines is my guess
- Woderwick

Fixed...
