Pelle's birthday is 2 days after the Voracek scare? That's just crazy.

Halifax Mooseheads are going to the final but aren't undefeated. They lost Sunday to the Saskatoon Blades 5-2

Thanks for posting those excerpts!

I look forward to hearing about the 2nd round NHL draft candidates.

The Flyers' recent work after the 1st round of the draft, in general, is kinda terrible.

Bill,
Great job as always.
We all appreciate you keeping us up to date along with all the stories about Pelle.
He has been missed!!!

The second round picks have been awful.
Turning those picks into established players has been a good idea, at least until the salary cap era.

The hit on Leier was bad, how was no penalty called there?

Taking Marshall over P.K is a killer although Subban looks and sounds like a terrible teamate.

it is such a crapshoot trying to predict how these kids turn out.
PK even then was a high risk player.

With three picks in 2006 they still managed to miss Milan Lucic.

Yeah, sorry...that costs extra. And after your wiseguy comment last night, A LOT extra.


Switching gears, how about the Torts scratching Richards? As hard as it is with the Flyers missing the playoffs, I prefer that to what the Rangers are going through right now, especially considering they get no first round pick this draft.

They can't score. Typical Rangers crap, you go out and buy yourself offense and they can't produce. All that talent and they're 2-38 on the powerplay? C'mon.

Buying out Brad Richards and firing Tortorella has to be the off season strategy. Sather needs to move on. Hello Lindy Ruff, there has to be a reason he's waiting.

Yup, once they traded Gaborik (while still being in playoff contention), red flags went up. Something is way off with that team.

Lindy getting a fresh start on the other side of the state wouldn't surprise me at all.

I got my RX-8 up to 128 once on a road which shall not be named. But I found if I truly wanted the rush of speed motorcycles were the way to go. You can be going 40 and feel like you're flying. I still have my license but no bike as my family would probably disown me if I rode that seriously. Somehow they think it's not safe....

Thrower was suspended for the rest of the MC, but that might only turn out to be one game.
