@howardeskin: Eric Lindros first player to arrive at Flyers Alumni locker room for game today. Got here at 12:20p. Shows me something.

I hope it was a middle finger.

Lindros hatty (e5)

JR was just on WIP (94.whatever--610 is a KY LOU bball). He said the guy who surprised him most in practice was E, who impressed him with how well he played considering he's a big guy who's been out of the game for a while. Still has the skills working.

They also mentioned that Luukko's son (a Flyers draftee, I believe) had a ruptured spleen at VT and will miss the rest of the season. That must have been some hit he took.

I'd heard that. TweetDeck has given me no trouble whatsoever.

Any reason why Tim Kerr isn't a participant in today's game? I'm sure he would have got an invite

Am I right that Derian Hatcher did not win the Norris Trophy?

The only connection Google can find is the fact Bill wrote it in his blog today.

honest question: how are they all gonna fit on the bench?

Bernie Parent woke up early. He was tweeting how pumped he is at 6 am.

That seems like a lot of work lol

I was hoping for a list of them with where they play. Maybe one day I'll create a spreadsheet and do the research to have it in place.

With the way these young players stormed onto the scene this year in Philly, it's got me intrigued with prospects and I think it would be fun to keep an eye on them.

just go to the draft picks section by team and click on a players link.

Hatcher was a finalist for Norris, didn't win it. Fixed it.

I'm giggling like a little kid

A possible line Tocchet, Recchi & Roenick


We should do this every year!!!!!

(my 7 year old daughter can't understand how that "old man" is going to play), meaning Bernie

Ha ha. But he's staying for Monday's game.

So he got tickets or was the talk the other day that he was looking for them was a joke?

I am downright giddy at the thought of seeing 88 in orange and black again!.

Seeing Bernie in pads again is amazing

He seems as excited as most of the fans are. It's a great first step to seeing his number hanging next to Bernie, Barry, Billy, Bobby and Howe.
