You forgot Kapanen, who grew up here so the connection is so obvious

Hard to argue with that. This group could badly use a guy like Pronger or Timonen in the room.
- BiggE

I would rather suit one of them up to just sit on the bench over Folin

lol - Jonathan Richman is definitely an acquired taste. I dig him.


- Scoob

True yes. NO doubt he has been a pretty influential dude in the punk genre

Again you know what was also atrocious? That 10 game losing streak where they gave games away. They recovered from that, they can certainly recover from this
- xShoot4WarAmpsx

In that 10 game losing streak they were getting points still and looked more competitive then they do in these first 9 games.

Given the patience they have been preaching moving a prospect like Sanheim for another prospect doesnt make any sense.

I would see going the other way of moving a Simmonds or Jake for a package of picks or prospects making more sense.

What's the other half? Because I count a few more roster moves
- VladDrag

I was just expecting that and Vorobyev. Gotta start somewhere haha

I think Pronger's stare from the bench is actually a pretty decent defender.

It's always been Kapanen's dream to play for Toronto.

Amen

Pronger’s stare is not only a better defender than half our D group, it’s also a better head coach than Dave Hakstol

So who’s to blame for allowing first goal against every game and every game coming out flat in the first period?
The same thing for how many years now, down 2-3 goals then they start to fight back. It’s a consistent pattern and needs to stop. How? Been this long I have no idea what’s going on but something is way off!

I see the additions and note the subtractions.

yikes

Yup. His first band, The Modern Lovers, spawned some future Cars and Talking Heads.

It could also solve the world's energy crisis if it wasn't so tied up with trying to fix Canada's economy.

2-3 years, huh? Sounds like it's either Provorov or Konecny that's to blame.

Well, the lineup doesn't include the 47 consecutive first-round picks that Toronto included.

Hard to argue with that. This group could badly use a guy like Pronger or Timonen in the room.
- BiggE

i really think Morin being set back is a missing piece. He brings intimidation, that brings attitude.

- wcorvette

He'll be here soon. He has the next 4 months of skating with NHL regulars (in practice) and getting used to the speed he'll need to make outlet passes....and while they are on the road he has a professional training staff pushing him in the gym to get stronger.

He's going to beast...gut feel

Way off-topic, but does anyone know why Ottawa started the brawl in 2004? Brashear fought Rob Ray, one of the most prolific fighters in NHL history. As they're being taken off, Ottawa goes after Brashear. Does anyone know why?

Funny, his band name is also the title of the novel I'm working on based on our relationship.

- jmatchett383

I thought I remembered reading that they felt like Brashear was taking liberties with Ray after he was cut.

Which FA center do you know for a fact that the Flyers targeted?
- MJL

Riley Nash and there was someone else, I cant recall. Maybe it was Bozak but Im not 100%

- Buzzo

Theyn are winning 50% of the games, how is that less competitive than losing 10 straight? I mean those 10 games were brutal to watch. Just because Flyers started well does not mean they were more competitive especially since the reason they went on that losing streak was because they got a lead and then got dominated the rest of the game

- xShoot4WarAmpsx

While Hextall was a little dodgy on the specifics, I think its safe to assume those were them as he made direct comments that they were in on a couple Centers but the term and money got to a point they were not comfortable with....and he made those comments not long after their signings
