Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Seriously, the guy must have weed in his mouthguard or something.

2-2 after 2, as Florida scores (Fleischmann off assists from Versteeg and some other (Non-former-Flyer) guy)

That third line, especially Talbot and Voracek, though. They're beasting it tonight.

It’s all part of the Bubble Gum pop image. She started as a gospel singer and as per Wikipedia, “at the age of 15, Perry’s singing in church attracted the attention of rock veterans from Nashville, Tennessee, who brought her there to polish her writing skills. In Nashville, Perry started recording demos and was taught by country music veterans how to craft songs and play guitar.” So she writes alot of her music and I believe she has written some songs for Pink though I’m not to sure. Her image is just clever marketring which for a pop diva is important. And think about who her biggest competition is, Lady Gaga, so the outfits make sense in that context. She’s got alot more going on. I bought Teenage Dream for my mom and it’s really a quite well crafted, catchy and original pop record. I even listen to it on occasion, the song E.T. in particular.

It’s not surprising that it’s marketing and that she has talent, and there is a tradition of dumbing oneself down for that niche. I’m just not a fan of that choice and have never found that kind of woman-image appealing or sexy or interesting. The more talent she has, the more disappointing it is to me. But I get that others don’t have a problem with it.

I loved watching him last season. He needs time to develop into the goalie Bryz should be. The Flyers really shot themselves in the five-hole by making him play all those games last year then expect him to have the stamina to maintain it all in the playoffs. It is a shame he won’t have the time to develop here.

I think it will depend on a number of things. If the Flyers feel that either Kovar or Hovinen will be ready to at least be in the AHL by 2013, then they might trade Bob and get a capable backup for a year until K or H can make the big club.

I don’t understand the dynamic. One goalie does bad in a shootout against the Bruins, he’s crucified. One goalie does well in a shootout against the Panthers (a team that’s worse than us in a shootout, and he’s crowned a king

One goalie lets a deflected goal in, he sucks. The other lets one in, it’s not a big deal

Team pinches 4 below the faceoff dots in the offensive zone, leaving 1 of our d-man back, Bob had no chance.

Gus lets a forward into the goalie’s crease, BRYZ sucks

that’s my problem

You hit the nail right on the head.

Now make no mistake about it, Bob is having a better season than Bryz thus far this year, but I have certainly notice people shrugging off when Bryz makes a good play and crucifying him when he makes a bad play or even does not make a bad play but has a goal scored against him for something not his fault, while Bob’s bad plays/goals are shrugged off and every great save of his is celebrated like “OMG SAVIOR!”

And this does go for some people here. They (probably) know who they are.

Again, Bob is having the better season thus far, but there is certainly a difference in treatment between the two.

Is Bryz the new Shelley yet?

In all seriousness, both of them seem like that have a valuable skill set, but are persecuted because Homer overpaid for that skill set. And before the Shelley haters jump on me, I’m fairly certain that Shelley is widely acknowledged as a great locker room guy, which is worth something, but not what we’re paying him.

by RogueConvict on Jan 24, 2012 10:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Are you in the locker room? No… so there’s no evidence that any of us can actually say that Shelley has a significant impact in the locker room.

What are they gonna do, say he’s a dick? Players are always gonna talk guys up in interviews, means nothing. If you can tell me how Jody Shelley allegedly being a good locker room guy has ever been the difference between a win and a loss then ok but it’s impossible so i’ll leave it at that.

by DannyMcG on Jan 24, 2012 10:49 PM EST up reply actions  

Fine, you’re right. No one ever tells the truth, they just say what they think people want to hear. Shelly is a waste of a hockey player, and a human as well. Thanks for setting the world in order for me.

Your sarcasm isn’t making your case any less flawed. You show me a time that a player was like “ya know, I don’t like that guy” and i’ll eat my hat. Not saying Shelley is a bad guy but if you think him being a good guy helps the Flyers win, you’re kidding yourself. Having some nice person sitting in your locker room being nice doesn’t make a difference in whether they win or lose.

by DannyMcG on Jan 24, 2012 10:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Not sure if you've ever been part of a sports team....

But most teams I’ve been on, and I’ve been on some great teams, have had a senior, or older guy, that worked his ass off every day, fought for ever ground ball, did every sprint all out, and talked us up. He wasn’t very good, but he strived to be his best every single fucking day. And he pushed us to be better, and I can think of a number of wins that that type of player has won for a team without ever stepping on the field. By all accounts from the a fore mentioned players and teammates of him, Shelley is that guy. He’s not very good, but he improves everyone around him. Does he improve them his contract worth? No. But every team needs or could use that veteran.

Given that there’s almost literally no other reason he would still be on the team, I think we can all at least somewhat safely assume it.

It’s too bad he’s a lousy mechanic.

I try to defend him, but I get really sick of the luck he’s having. I think he’s a little off, but the deflections and bounces just are completely against him.
