People should buy tickets and HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN OUTSIDE. Tailgating. Pin-the-tail on MJL. Piñatas, street corn, the whole 9.

Don't go in. Call the news. Say you are willing to show those Re-Animated suits that the product is unacceptable. Copters come, lid blown off (like China Syndrome) and peace & new management reigns.

BTW, don't waste your time with Halloween Ends, a very disappointing conclusion to what was shaping up to be a very good trilogy.

I thought it was a good idea.

And any TRUE Halloween fan would recognize that the cycle needed to end. AND that the intro font was that of Halloween 3.

It's ended.

That's my spoiler free review.

Ha. Yeah, mine too. I don't buy any of that overpriced crap.

Btw, we agree I hope that at season end we will compare our predictions of 'attendance %' with what it turns out is actually tix sale % (aka the only official figures pertaining to that anyway).

Yes, I very much do.

After watching an interview with Cam where he stated how close he and G became in a short period of time and that their wives became very friendly as well, I'm confident it wasn't G. There was also a very awkwardly long hug between Cam and G in the locker room after Gs 1000 game.

At the end of the day is the captain, the leader, the face of the franchise, such a respected veteran, “all time flyer great” responsible for locker room atmosphere? Couldn’t he speak up & put people in their place being such a highly regarded veteran? Country club claude is responsible for the country club atmosphere end of story, he’s the captain & leader. Everyone says chuck sucks because he put the team together he’s the gm 1 of 1. Captain same thing 1 of 1

I think it’s up to the coach. Coach controls who plays and who doesn’t. We’ve already seen the the Torts impact.

Does anyone remember dry island? Peter Laviolette challenging the players not to drink. Pronger’s side was for it, Richards side was against it.

This is a room of men. What would you do?

You’re making the point. Coach controls who plays cuz he is the coach of the team. the captain is the leader of the players can control what is acceptable & not. Pronger only cared about winning. Richy cared more about the partying then the winning as proof of how his career turned out.

When you want to win it is your first priority. Not partying not keeping it light & “having fun” winning is all you care about & you’ll sacrifice anything for that.

Clearly CC would rather keep it country club & play in Ottawa then actually sacrifice it all & win

Clear to who? The country club was always directed at the alumni. Richards and his group was widely known as partiers. Giroux has always been our most hard working player on the ice and a family man off the ice. Nothing you’ve said is clear. Claude Giroux has accomplished pretty much everything a player can accomplish with one team both in regular season and playoffs outside of win a cup. The stats don’t lie. So how exactly does this make him comfortable and what is he going to do to change it? It’s up to the organization on who comes in and who comes out.

Wow, York not only gets demoted, but he isn't even the first call up when Risto gets injured. Torts must really dislike his game. Meanwhile, Caufield with the game tying goal against the Pens! THANKS CHUCKLES!

You would rather have Caufield than York and Brink?

It’s Mid Oct and we are already judging York’s yr based on not making the opening night roster?

How many 21 year old - 175 lb dmen play a big role on their nhl teams? If Torts, thought his ceiling was a 3rd pair or 7 dman, maybe he would be here right now, but fortunately we have a coach that is trying his best to develop players as opposed to winning a couple more games. Remember when Frost was sent down last year and everyone complained? He looks pretty good so far this year, doesn’t he?

One wouldn't think this would need to be explained but apparently it does. The reason why York was sent down was to get him some playing time to raise his level of play. The Flyers don't want either York or Attard losing playing time to go on a road trip with the Flyers to sit as the 7th defenseman. So with the unavailability of Ristolainen, they called up Belpido for the road trip. But hey, Caulfield scored a goal.

To answer your question, it's a simple YES for me! I threw my sneaker at the TV when Chuckles passed on Caufield! I saw interviews with the kid prior to the draft and I saw his dynamic style of play, and I wanted the Flyers to add that dynamic to their meager forward group! York at this point looks like a dime a dozen defender and Brink may or may not be an NHL player someday. I take Caufield every time! Thanks!

I can't say much about Frost cause I only saw one period of the first two games (third period against the Nucks). I saw his goal and that was a goal scorers goal, and I guess he has played well. Now we shall see how he plays against elevated competition on the road in the next 3 games.

Swap out Richie for Hayes and throw in Hayes was bought in by this wonderful GM and had played for AV before. Hayes isn't being traded like Richie.

Great! Send him down to have Lappy straighten him out. That should work out well.
