Good show gents. Definite thanks to FrankD from Pensburgh for stopping by and giving us an outsiders look. The third defensive pairing debate is certainly and issue and with the Flyers cap situation, things don’t look promising. Homer had better have something up his sleeves, which at the same time, scares me half to death. We shall see . . .

I do appreciate FrankD (as much as one can appreciate a Pens fan =p ), especially when he drops by and leaves comments here. He’s never afraid to defend his team, and his points are usually interesting, but he has a knack for just staying away from the cheap shot type comments hurled from us pained Flyers fans toward the team that has hurt us the most in recent years that would only start a painful argument and shouting match if he responded to them. I definitely appreciate that.

And for sure you can’t trade away a piece for draft picks in the middle of the season- that would absolutely be construed as giving up on the season. All you can do is hope that management can learn a lesson in the future, when our draft pick situation is closer to normal, that draft picks are more than just trade bait. I mean, look at the Devils, they manage to always be solid every year thanks mainly in part to (yes, the system and yes, Brodeur, but also…) no name call ups that seem to be able to step in and play at a high level. A good farm system can go a long way in any sport.

I’ll say it here: I’m personally (and pretty sure I can-but won’t- speak for Ben and Travis) really disappointed no one has left any messages yet. I think this feature could be hysterical. As an avid Preston and Steve listener, I can only hope this becomes our version of the Love You; Hate You Line.

Please make it happen so we don’t have to forge it just to make ourselves laugh.

Thanks again for having me on to chat it up a bit. Definitely can’t turn down the opportunity to talk about hockey, Flyers fans or not. ;-)

All I have to say is thank God for this place (BSH, I mean). Every other forum for hockey (csnphilly.com, philly.com, ESPN and others) just has too many commenters that fall into that station-that-shall-remain-namelss call-in radio mentality. I am so sick to death of hearing about how Briere should be willing to remove his NTC because he is killing the team. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Briere is not the problem. You want to say that cap mgmt is an issue, be my guest. Blue line depth? Absolutely. Hey, if you want to question the captain’s leadership, I can even understand that.

So, thank God the people here understand. That’s all I’m saying.

I’ll call in when I’m wasted this weekend and MarioD bitches about something Flyers related after a win

If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Take a joke over @ Pensburgh?
