That IIHF video is all kinds of awesome.
However, the mascot being a wolf is awkward. Clearly they didn’t get the memo.
Tracking the Flyers scoring chances at Broad Street Hockey
I particularly enjoyed the reactions of the suited spectators to whatever it was they saw. Plus the girl is cute and at least appears to be into hockey. I’m imagining her in a similar, Flyers-themed outfit performing this at the WC.
Geez no!
She is not into hockey, but she would be into anything which would net her some publicity. She might be cute, but she CAN NOT sing, trust me. As far as video goes, it is decent when it comes to local standards. This was accepted with HUGE disappointment here in Slovakia, that we hadn´t been able to deliver something of a higher standard.
But if you like her, you might like this:

So err
If Lindros plays really well in the alumni game, could we sign him as our fourth line center? He’s only 38…
In fact forget fourth line center, imagine Jagr-Lindros-Giroux.

We could also hire Lindros as a specialist ‘power forward coach’ whose job is to hang around JVR all day and teach him how to become an elite power forward.

Lindros could start by getting JVR to gain another 20 lbs. We forget just how big Lindros is, 245lbs at 6ft 4in. He is 5 inches shorter than Chara but only 10lbs lighter in playing weight. 15lbs heavier than Ovie. Nobody in todays game could come close to stopping him.
Youtube-ing Lindros every once in a while makes you appreciate what a beast he was.

I still have a ton of games from the early to mid 90’s on VHS from when he was exerting his will over the rest of the league. One of my most favorites was when he scored on a breakaway vs NJ after stealing the puck and Gary Thorne yelled out “take the roof off baby!” The Spectrum went bananas. I need to get those over to DVD at some point so I can preserve them. I like to watch those old games from time to time.
Thanks a lot Select-A-Seat! Now I'm in 122!

Not sure if your serious about JVR gaining 20 lbs.
To gain 24-26 lbs of skeletal muscle one needs about a year of uninterrupted weight training. Or 10 months in the case of 20 lbs. To play of an 82 game season of hockey, weight train to gain muscle mass and counter for the losses from the cardio component of the sport requires the creative chemistry of some unregulated Romanian tin shack lab on the outskirts of Bucharest that the Russian mafia runs. Even in the off season, given the cardio preparatory demands of hockey, a weight training program dedicated to building muscle mass might yield some small gains but at the possible expense of developing sports specific power thru a strength training program tailored for hockey players. Futhermore, doubling one’s efforts to offset these losses, as many athletes are prone to do, is overtraining and this only invites risk of overuse and fatigue related injuries, unnecessary wear, deterioration of skills and the loss of the very gains sought out in the first place . It’s easy to put on weight but that doesn’t translate into skeletal muscle mass which is what does the work. You see this with fighters who make a sudden leaps to the next weight class. If the bulk isn’t converted into functional strength, either it ’s just extra weight to carry around and drag them down, or the training to make and maintain the gains compromised their endurance work significantly enough to effect their stamina.
I thought JVR said he gained some weight/muscle in the past offseason?
Sure – 20 lbs may be asking a bit much, but I went from my boxing weight of 165 lbs to my rugby weight of 220 lbs (and both very fit) in only two years. NO chemicals involved either. Some people can, and some people can’t – if your frame is meant to be muscular you will be, and if your frame is meant to be skinny you likely will be also.

No – I played 2 10-game rugby seasons per year. Which honestly include quite a bit of physical exertion (two 40 minute halves per game, with very little stoppages, sometimes a few games a day). And it wasn’t my full-time job either.

I was waiting for this. Thanks for not disappointing.

That is all.
Fascinating. I know very little about this sort of stuff. I’m really skinny and have never been that successful at building muscle, but I guess I haven’t tried that hard either. I’d get broken like a twig if I tried to play hockey.

From a fellow skinny person hintzy:
4,000 calorie a day diet.
1 – 2 hours weight training a day (variation groups per day to avoid overuse) w/ Sundays off.
consistent for almost 2 years.
starting weight 144, ending weight 183.
after a few big jumps in the beginning the avg. gain per week was .5 lb to 1 lb a week.
(and for sake of narrative I’ve lost almost all of it over the last couple years due to reduction in diet and sitting around on my butt)
My initial response was, "I hate you so much right now" but I changed it.
by DLJr on Oct 19, 2011 1:15 PM EDT
Wow, awesome. I think I’ve started to gain some muscle since I’ve taken up rock climbing (like weight training, where I am the weight…). Unless I’m just imagining it. But it’s made me curious about doing more. They do have a weight room at the climbing gym. I should start taking advantage of it.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
I’m starting that up tomorrow, pretty excited about it. I’m in between gyms at the moment, and I found a good deal on a month pass to the rock gym, so thought I would give it a shot.
by hebrew hammer on Nov 2, 2011 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh, don’t get me started. I absolutely love it. I’ve recently started looking into outdoor climbing too, since there are apparently some good areas for it near me. It’s challenging both mentally and physically, and I find it very satisfying. Hope you enjoy it!
What’s hilarious is that my wife and I spent a long weekend down on the Blue Ridge Parkway doing some hiking a couple weeks ago. We found that anytime we came to a rock face or some boulders we’d start running our hands over them looking for holds. We’ll never look at a rock the same way again.

Those gains I got working mostly body weight. I was working out at home and quickly got past what weight I had in the house.
One advantage of using your own body’s weight is its free. The other is as you get heavier you also are lifting higher amounts of weight. :)

Just make sure he doesn’t teach JVR how to skate with his head down, but yeah. It sure would be a lot of fun to see another player like #88 in the NHL today. I used to love when he opted to just destroy guys, then skate away from the faceoff dot with the puck rather than actually try to win the faceoff clean. (which he was more than capable of doing)
Funny thing, on all the NHL games I own where Lindros was still an active player I would always sign/trade for him and keept him around as a 3rd or 4th line center on the Flyers until he would retire.

It’s gotten to the point where fans can produce almost as good quality as the professionals. I’m surprised some teams haven’t co-opted some of this stuff already. Most fans would give their work away for nothing just for bragging rights.

I’m absolutely excited about this year’s team, but it kind of just sunk in that all these fabulously talented players (Gags, Richie, Lindros) who did so much for this team will likely never wear the orange and black again*. So sad.
*in a game that matters, I guess
What3v3r.
Since today’s Fly-By lists some updates, is there an update on Blair Betts? Did he have surgery on his knee? Any possibility of him returning to play this year?
The Organizational Depth Chart needs updating as well. A bit of a mess there.
I haven’t heard anything.

I keep reading a lot of things about the residents not being very happy about it being there. Makes me wonder if they should even bother. I still don’t understand why they wanted to move the Phantoms out of Philly. There are other locations besides the spectrum that are much closer than Allentown. Something at the Navy Yard, or along Columbus Blvd on the river (where it bends around to Pattison Ave) would have been nice, and could have been something to really jump start a new section of the city. Most of theat area is empty. Putting in an arena for the Phantoms would have kept them local where they would get much more fan support, and the space between there and the other stadiums could have been developed with hotels, sports bars, and maybe even casinos along the river.
This city is getting more & more run down and shitty every year. They really need to do something to make it worth coming to for tourists/transients/people relocating.
Most of theat area is empty.
Only on the surface. There’s a whole helluva lot of underground infrastructure there, between gasoline pumping lines and sewer interceptors and rail switching power lines and controllers. And who wants to watch hockey next door to a sewage treatment plant anyway???
I would suggest a smaller rink up at the City-owned lots above Spring Garden before down at the bottom of Columbus. Better traffic patterns there too.

if the cost is $100 Mil in Allentown, it would probably be twice that in Philly.
I’d love to see them comd home though. I thought they should go with a smaller stadium somewhere more central to Philly, that could also be a modern concert venue. It could go somewhere like the Cirque de Soleil lot at Broad and Washington or maybe the Disneyhole at 8th and MArket
Flyers, Phillies, Union, Eagles, Phantoms, Wings.
If the cost is $100 million in Allentown, it’d probably be several BILLION in Philly. :)
But seriously, the lot at Broad and Washington is a little too residential to support a stadium/concert venue (at least in the currently reigning paradigm in Philly). 8th and Market doesn’t have adequate traffic access (El and buses, but the trip up 7th to the Vine Expwy is already a bitch).
You need to look for larger parcels, with decent access to highways and transit, and preferably some buffer between it and residential neighborhoods. So areas like Upper Brewerytown/Strawberry Mansion, Fishtown or Port Richmond (especially along the river), or even the old TastyKake site at 34th and Grays Ferry (ideal – on the river, good transportation, isolated but not too far from neighborhood, good transit options, etc).
Obviously, I have given this some thought.

My wife gets full credit for that. She bought a Magnavox DVR for me several years ago and I love it. It’s basically a glorified VCR that records to a hard drive or DVD-R instead of tape, so it doesn’t know the TV schedule and record automatically or anything like that, I have to set it myself. But I don’t mind that at all. And I don’t have to pay extra monthly fees for the fancy DVR-capable set-top box or another service like TiVO. So for me, it’s absolutely perfect.

That sounds amazing and exactly what I need since I don’t want to pay more for DVR but still be able to watch the games after the fact. It is weird to me though to watch a game knowing that it’s not live… but I guess you get used to that.

Yeah, after a few minutes of action, I get just as into the game as if it were live. Excited over goals, nervous when holding a small lead, the whole deal. And I can skip the commercials!
This is basically what I have:http://www.magnavox.com/p/index_player.php?id=58

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
I should mention the one catch is that, unless you’re recording from an unencrypted channel (ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX), it needs to be connected to the output of your set-top box, and the box has to be on the channel you want.
I put a splitter on the coax cable coming from my wall, one end goes to the STB, the other to the DVR. If I want to record from an unencrypted channel, I do it directly through the DVR. For anything else (VS, CSN, ESPN, etc), I go through the STB. And then the outputs of both the STB and DVR go to my TV.

It’s not a big deal, just requires a little planning ahead sometimes.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
That’s interesting that the “broadcast” channels are different. So you can’t record something on ABC and be watching ESPN without messing up the recording. Do you have production background or just knowledge of TVs and wires?
www.southpawcurve.blogspot.com - check out my baseball blog!!
Actually, the example you gave works. I can watch ESPN (via the STB) while recording ABC (directly from the coax jack), or vice versa. But I can’t watch ESPN while recording VS, they’re both encrypted and require the STB. The major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, PBS) are unencrypted because they are also broadcast for free over the air. You don’t need cable to get them, you could use an antenna if you wanted. So it would be stupid for the cable company to encrypt them.

Comcast DVR is pretty nice many times I had to work later than I though and was able to log into via a website or app on my iPhone and set it to record Flyers games or whatever I was going to miss.
It is also fun to use the same app to change the channel while I work to freak your wife out. She was trying to watch some crap on Oprah’s Network and from work I kept changing the channel to The Terminator. I wish I could have been on the line while she was trying to explain this the Comcast Customer Service.
Hahaha, nice. Yeah, my setup doesn’t have any features like that. But I also don’t have a smartphone, so I’m not missing anything. Just my personal preference. What I have meets my needs.

He has so much speed when he skates with the puck but it seems like he gets out of control once he gets into the offensive zone and tries to shoot or pass it. That’s just a general observation I’ve noticed.

That’s not the funny part though. When I clicked a news link off of Google to see what the heck was going on, this is how the article had Bieber’s rep’s statement:

That’s funny.
I read that story this morning in the paper and I cracked up. Then I was actually surprised nobody fabricated a story sooner and said “Bieber’s my baby’s daddy!” The funnier outcome is if it is actually true.

I would think he has plausible deniability. I mean, he’s either pre-pubescent, or he’s gay.

Does anyone have any history with pitching ideas to big market tv stations? I’ve been wanting to send an idea to Vs for the last week

Unless by ‘pitching’ you mean throwing rocks into the Fox Philly HQ one night when drunk, no.

Massively OT...
…but it’s come to my attention that Zooey Deschanel is back on the market. She’s getting divorced. I’m gonna go ahead and call dibs.

Dammit. I saw this yesterday and decided to get back in the game.

only at BSH, king of the OT’s, hintzy himself.

Giving up isn't an option
Dunno how close you are to Deptford NJ but at the end of the month Bryz is doing a signing at the BC sports in the mall there. …60 bucks.

Such a shocker when actresses and rockers can’t make it work. LOL.
What kind of plane is it? Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big ol' Tylenol.
She sings too, in a duo called She & Him. Maybe they broke up over artistic differences. Death Cab for Cutie isn’t exactly her style.

Oh, I know. I like her voice better than I like her acting. My husband loves her show.

I haven’t seen it. Just haven’t had time. But the premise looks a little weak, do you think it’ll last?

Not really. It’s a little too quirky for the mainstream folks.

Not surprised. Oh well. :-/

They should have recast damon wayans jr before airing the pilot. Coach was the strongest character and then they replaced him with another fluff sidekick like the other 2 roommates.
The show just isn’t well rounded enough to last, I think.

I need your help.
Designing a Gagne shirt. I have the graphic. However, I don’t know what kind of phrase to put on it.
Please help me out with coming up with a phrase or saying to put on this shirt.

What’s the graphic look like? Might help spawn ideas.

It’s just a silhouette of Gags, arms raised in goal celebration.

K, I’ll think on it.

What’s the general idea you’re looking to convey? Missing Gags in Philly? Just liking him in general?

His awesomeness. Nothing with Philly :)
I'm in love with the Lightning, the Flyers are my fling and I have a crush on the Flyers fans. LA Kings by default.
Dare to follow my childish, biased, petty and cheesy alter ego. Go visit my website. I will keep you updated on every Simon injury.

Oh, good point. I’ll be replacing Simon Gagne with the text…unless everyone thinks that just his name is good enough.
