Although my personal favorite maple syrup concoction is when they make sort of a taffy lollipop out of it in quebec by pouring the syrup on snow, but I don’t know what they really call it. Do you know if there an actual name for that, since your family is from up there?

^ What she said. I usually end up getting it when I’m walking around the farmer’s markets in Montreal in late winter, because one of the vendors will cover a long table in a thick pile of shaved ice [or clean snow, but none of the times has it snowed at the time I was up there], and stand there and pour out thin strips of the reduced syrup, let it cool for like 5 seconds, and roll it up onto a lollipop stick.

A note about the weather
Conversations about the weather are now subject to copyright infringement penalties. Please refer to weather.com for guidance. You may purchase suitable phrases for online use. Here are some examples.
A brief though violent thunder-storm which had raged over the city was passing away; but still, though the rain had ceased more than an hour before, wild piles of dark and coppery clouds, in which a fierce and rayless glow was laboring, gigantically overhung the grotesque and huddled vista of dwarf houses, while in the distance, sheeting high over the low, misty confusion of gables and chimmeys, spread a pall of dead, leprous blue, suffused with blotches of dull, glittering yellow, and with black plague-spots of vapor floating and faint faint lightenings crinkling on the surface.
The quick-coming winter twilight was already at hand. Snow was again falling, sifting delicately down, incindentally as it were.
Now the rain falls—now the wind is let loose with a terrible shriek—now the lightenng is so constant that the eyes burn, and the thunderclaps merge into an awful roar, as did the 800 cannon at Gettysburg. Crash! Crash! Crash! It is the cottonwood trees falling to earth.

Ok, people. Right there is an example of why I do not like Jake. He had time, he had speed driving to the net and he elected to take a shot that’s only going to beat Marty if it’s perfect and hard. Said stupid shot goes way wide and the rush is over.

I’m not saying he doesn’t have potential I just don’t like him for those kinds of dumb plays. You put Read in the same spot and I doubt you get the same result.

Eh. You might be right, but I’m not sure it makes that much of a difference. There have been games where Voracek looked like the best player on the ice. There have been games where Read has looked invisible.
I think it all evens itself out.

I’m just explaining why I don’t like Jake since I seem to get asked it. Conversely I’m using Read, my favorite new Flyer by far, as a foil.

And I’d trade Read in a heartbeat while his value is highest, because I don’t think he’s as good as he’s played this season, hockey IQ or not. But I’m not gonna hate on Read and praise Voracek when Read makes a mistake

I don’t recall that he did. But symptoms can appear delayed. Could have been from a hit from another game, too.

Now what the hell do they do for tomorrow? I can’t think of any super bad hits he took that might have caused it. Somebody pull up Gamecenter!
Didn’t someone say he took a stick to the face or something during the game? That could cause it.

Cross check mid way through third period? His head hit the ice?

Didn’t hit his head, but he got up very slowly, and they had a good shot of his face, he looked out of it.

Missed game
which is why Flyers won. I can see nothing’s changed ’round here, good job folks. Very witty stuff today.
So perusing the box score: 3 points for Simmonds! And Orange Jesus w/ 2 helpers. Good to see Read w/another goal.
Breezy looked confident too? This is all good news going into a Boston game.
RE: Callups
I mentioned it earlier, but from what Tim McManus was saying it sounds like Holmstrom will get a one-game suspension for instigating a fight in the final five minutes last night. I don’t know the rules as far as suspensions going from the AHL to the NHL, and let’s guess that if he’s suspended in the AHL then he can’t get called up and play in the NHL if he hasn’t served it. But even if that’s the case, Adirondack has a game tonight at 7, and either Holmstrom is suspended and he won’t play, or he won’t be suspended and should be eligible to be called up. Now if he IS suspended tonight, couldn’t he hypothetically serve it and then make his way down to Philadelphia late tonight and be eligible to play tomorrow?
So in any event, let’s assume Holmstrom is in. Let’s also assume Wellwood gets in, just because. So if you get Harry Z, Holmstrom, and Wellwood in, and JVR, Briere, Rinaldo, and Jagr are all out…here’s what we’d have, taking a complete shot at the dark as far as lines go:
Hartnell – Giroux – Read
Simmonds – Couturier – Voracek
Wellwood – Schenn – Talbot
Shelley – Holmstrom – Zolnierczyk
And then you head on the road for one game, and you’d probably want a 13th forward, so call up Sestito and put him in Shelley’s place…
I guess if everyone’s able to get called up in time, it could be worse? Get well soon, everyone, please.

This is all the more reason not to make an ill advised hasty trade. The Flyers are not in the same class as the Bruins. Rebuild the team the right way.
While I don’t necessarily disagree, I’m not quite sure what you’re saying. We’re without three of our top six forwards, meaning our lineup isn’t that deep, and that’s why we’re not good enough to contend?
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Jan 21, 2012 5:13 PM EST up reply actions
No
we’re just not as good, or at least who really knows. It’s basically a brand new team. You tell me of all the teams that have dismantled its core and have done a rebuild with a bunch of rookies and 40 year HOFer that have won a Cup in the same year. I’ve been saying this from day one but that was with Pronger. And now he’s done. The season’s basically over. Sure they can contend but they still only have snowball’s chance in hell. It’s still “contending”. Call me a nihilist but those are some shit odds.
It’s shit odds for nearly every team, every year. A trade won’t fix that, for sure, but this team is still among the top ten teams in the league, any of whom need a good amount of luck in the playoffs to win.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
Yeah there’s the normal amount of luck and then there’s Cinderella luck which is what it’ll take for this team without Pronger.
People tend to agree that Fenwick Close (tied or one goal games) are a pretty good measure of a team’s talent level. For this exercise, let’s assume it is. I’m just going to throw out some ranks of teams each given year, mainly as a show that it’s not very often the best team in the league that wins the cup.
2011-12: Red Wing: 1st, Bruins: 5th, Flyers: 10th
2010-11: Sharks: 1st, Canucks: 4th, Flyers: 12th, Bruins: 14th
2009-10: Blackhawks: 1st, Flyers: 11th
2008-09: Red Wings: 1st, Capitals: 3rd, Penguins: 14th
2007-08: Red Wings: 1st, Capitals: 3rd, Flyers: 25th, Penguins: 27th
My point: all teams need luck, and I think you’re overestimating the amount of relative luck the flyers would need to beat any given team in the playoffs. I think, barring injuries, they have about as good a chance as any year.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."

Seems to me that these players will be, barring injury playing the whole season. That’s more than any of those teams relied on. I haven’t gone thru each SC team but I have a feeling that we’re in unprecented terrority or at the very least we’re talking outliers inwhich case what ordinarily applies to a team’s post season odds might not necessarily hold.
It wouldn’t hold because some of the players responsible for the success haven’t played an NHL season before? I think usually good teams don’t need a bunch of rookies, but when a bunch of rookies are partially responsible for a team being good, I don’t see where the objection is.
Are you just assuming their legs won’t hold up? I know that since Read/Z are used to 30-40 game seasons and FMAB/Coots are used to 60-70 game season that a 100 game season would be quite the ask, but I think 100 games tires legs of any age or experience. So, I agree we don’t know they could hold up, but I don’t agree that it disqualifies us from contending or makes the odds completely insurmountable.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
Where did I say it disqualifies them from contending? I simply said it makes it more difficult for them contend.
The objection or rather concern is this when one fifth of your team is playing as starters and there’s not enough data to really make any accurate projection about their true talent because they are rookies, I’d say that changes the parameters upon which your making your initial assumptions. Now if there is ample data by which we can be assured about their talent then I’d be more inclined to back your play.
but I think 100 games tires legs of any age or experience.
There’s a fundamental flaw in this. There is a difference. A rookie’s body is undergoing actual physiological change as it adapts to the new load which is why loads are gradually increased in the first place and why the majority of rookies hit the rookie wall. Their bodies are struggling too keep pace with the greater demands put upon it. Now it doesn’t mean it will happen or if it does the talent of the player minimizes it’s effects (your superstar talents, the ones who even at their worst are still above average). There is also the chance that the player is in an extended super compensation phase, an effect seen with recruits in the basic training programs of the military or law enforcement. Essentially a super compensation phase occurs when your body overshoots in the recovery phase and overproduces that which was depleted. It’s really a normal part of training and how person becomes more fit or improves their athletic form. This is what Lavy was trying to do last year by running the team hard for 3 days in a row during that break before the Rags routed us 7-0. It might have worked had the team had the 72 hours of recovery from the same type of activity which they didn’t , instead they played a full game without any recovery. From that point on the team seemed to spend the rest of season fighting to get back to zero in terms of their baseline productivity. As with the case with the recruiits and what you could be seeing in with some rookies is a shock super compensation phase where the effects are extended over a longer period of time due to exposure to such extreme stimulus. Though is hard to say as many recruits are from a fitness perspective relatively raw compared to athletes of this caliber. Quick and dramatic gains are more prevalent for those just starting to train than those who have been training for sometime, however, as it’s been seen in a large population I thought it worthy of consideration for a possible mechanism behind why some rookie athletes, in particular those who are average avoid the rookie wall. It is also a technique used with established althetes like what Lavy attempted last year, to overcome the typical valleys that every athlete hits throughout the course of a long season.
I’m going to work from these assumptions and apply what is known about young athletes plateauing in general rather then work from these specific instances to more general cases with a only 42 games of data to base a projection on. 42 games doesn’t seem like enough unless there’s a preponderance of evidence from other like rookies to say otherwise. Does it exist, dunno. However, if it doesn’t., given what, at a cursory glance, looks like a high success rate of young players in the NHL it could an interesting avenue to explore.
Like j reed said, barring an amazing stroke of luck a la 2010, the Flyers this year never were Cup contenders. If they somehow steal the Atlantic Division, I will be shocked.

We’re on a 107 point pace this year. Last season’s team ended with 106 and was a hell of a lot luckier—as far as injuries and goaltending, at least—than this team was. If everyone here is gonna keep passing that team off as “the Cup contender that we blew up”, feel free to; that’s not going to make it any less false.

Well we’ll see how much gas is left in the tank with the 4 rookies who haven’t even done a full slog in the NHL.
Of the eight highest-scoring rookie forwards in the league last year, six of them got better after the all-star break. Let’s not assume Read and Coots are gonna fall off a cliff, now.
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Jan 21, 2012 8:47 PM EST up reply actions
And outside of Schenn were they all putting in the same number of minutes that these rookies are prior to the All Star break and were they all seeing the same levels of competition? Otherwise given the size of the sample, it’s rather meaningless. Is this just the Leino effect where they are playing on fresher legs? I’d rather stick to what I know about sport science and assume they’ll experience fatigue related performance decline that all athletes experience (slumps for lack of a better word) but which is often more intense for many young athletes as their loads increase and their bodies must physiologically struggle to adapt to the new loads while maintaining the same level of play. The proverbial rookie wall. Or plateauing. Now these other rookies if they have been playing under the same loads might be an exception to the rule or they could have hit a extended super compensation phase or perhaps were exceeedingly lucky, who really knows but it’s not enough evidence to deter my view that they will hit a rookie wall like alot of young athletes do. As with all rookies because we really don’t have enough data to make accurate projections I just assume that they will undergo the growing pains that many athletes experience when they start their professional careers. Seems a reasonable position to take.
note in the following sentence
Now these other rookies if they have been playing under the same loads might be an exception to the rule or they could have hit a extended super compensation phase or perhaps were exceeedingly lucky, who really knows but it’s not enough evidence to deter my view that they will hit a rookie wall like alot of young athletes do.
The “they” in the bolded text is referring to the Flyers rookies.
If it’s only a one game suspension and it’s actually been handed down before tonight’s game, Holmstrom might be able to serve it and then come here for tomorrow.
But at the moment, one of Briere or Jagr has to be moved onto the 7-day Injured Reserve list to allow two call ups. JVR is on IR, so we have 1 open spot on the active roster right now.

7 days counts over the all-star break, right? No reason not to put Briere on there.
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Jan 21, 2012 5:11 PM EST up reply actions
I’d say more likely they’d put Briere, since there’s no way to come back early from IR, and they might want Jagr to play before that (though I personally would happily shut him down for 7 days to heal).
Point is, they have to actually to make a roster move to make room for the callups. Or demote Rinaldo, or something. We just have to make space for them on the roster.

Can’t demote Rinaldo if he’s injured, right?
Should probably drop both Briere and Jagr on IR, hope for a win in one of the next two, and let the break come and go and pray we get healthy.

I feel like I remember this coming up when Sestito was suspended and then immediately waived. I don’t think they HAVE to, but I think they get to use their own discretion and they usually uphold it.
Holmstrom’s playing, though, so it probably doesn’t matter.
