Better hope Nuevirth can make it until Lyon or Elliot are healthy.

Stolarz is the #1!

Let that sink in for a moment.

- MBFlyerfan


It doesn't bother me, for this reason: Pickard had his shot, Lyon got torched.

Stolarz might not get the job done, but they're already last in SVPCT. He deserves a shot if they can't get anyone by Saturday -- at some point, even if it's not an extended look, we need to have a better feel for what these guys can and can't do at this level

I just see hockey trade written all over Ottawa right now. Send Voracek, Neuvirth, and a goalie prospect not named Sandstrom or Hart for Anderson and Stone plus a conditional picks if Stone doesn't resign. I would also take Bobby Ryan off thier hands if they eat 4 million of salary. Its a nice upgrade and core deal as long as you get Stone signed.

Canes are putting Darling on waivers.

2 more years left at 4.125.

He's been bad but would you swap Neuvirth for Darling.

At least we get a goalie who seems to be healthy and did play well in Chicago.

Canes get cheaper one year back up.

Darling has been brutal....may want to look elsewhere.

I hope Neuvirth can get through lunch without breaking his jaw.

Stoli is our #1, let the good times roll indeed

- BiggE



Neuvirth stated the other day that he feels bad about what has happened and that he wished he had gotten healthy sooner! I'm wondering when he actually became healthy?

Richards and Carter and many other players better than Lindblom had spent time on the 4th line in the beginning of their career. Not a big deal.
- MJL


Yes, I was personally pretty upset with the idea of him sitting in the press box. That would have been bad for Lindblom and for the team. The 4th line is definitely the better option. The way I see it the coach sees something in his game he wants removed/improved/added. This way when he does better at whatever it is, he gets promoted. It really hasn’t been that many games with him on the 4th line. He will get it.

You know what. Steve Mason was bad before he got to the Flyers.

Ridiculous if he gets another start for the Flyers, to me -- I understand why they might play him because they're trying to win and he can be effective, but for me, he'd be done

Chuck Fletcher and Paul Holmgren meeting today. Sounds like it’s Fletcher’s job to lose. Goalie and center will be among priority adds for the new GM when named.

He is heavily connected to US hockey like Holmgren is.
The blue jackets are a powerhouse team right now as well through good drafting and smart trades and signings. If Zito had his hand in that, as well as his eye for drafting, and he is heavily involved in US hockey then he has a good resume to me. Add the personal endorsement by his boss and the fact he isn't fletcher.....
Zito! Zito! Zito!

- sILKAsSINASALO



I like the idea of Zito or Hunter....

That's a true statement. But at some point, you gotta add context

Carolina's been fairly good except when Darling plays

If he is available and you need him, you have to play him. But I understand why you feel that way. I didn't want Dale Weise to play another game for the Flyers.

Than who's the starter?



Is Neuvy healthy (for at least the next 5 minutes) to go on Saturday?

Melnyk wont want Voracek's contract. He is cheap but to be fair, all rich people are cheap. It is a trait they all share. Im cheap as well so my future is bright
