Currently Couturier’s P/60 is third in the team at 2.39. Read’s is fourth at 2.37. Who do you think will win that race by the end of the season and why?
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.
One day Sean Couturier will win the Conn Smythe. You heard it here first.

Read doesn’t get shoved down to a fourth line with Shelley and Rinaldo on certain games. I think if Scooter is kept on one of the scoring lines he will but based on past usage I think Read will just based on the fact he’ll probably get more opportunities to score.

Surprised to see Flyers recalled Sestito and Holmstrom if JVR, Briere and Jagr were at practice. I suppose all 3 are still not playing?
by lava96 on Jan 31, 2012 7:53 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Jagr said he will know if he is playing pending morning skate. And there really was no update on JVR and Danny B, just they weren’t wearing yellow jerseys.

JVR and Rinaldo are the two who are actually on injured reserve in order to create roster spots for Sestito and Holmstrom, so I guess we know for certain that those two aren’t ready to come back.

The NHL got 9 minutes on SportsCenter last week. Once again less than baseball
That is probably also less than SportsCenter talking about Lebron’s dunks.
Some guy at PSU Hershey Med Center just discovered a virus that eats cancer. Where were the CNN trucks for that? THON will probably break $10 mil this year. Put that on "Outside the Lines".
Geoff, is it too late to add a consolation bracket for the BSH Champions league, sort of an an incentive to play those last 3 weeks in the season? the top 2 teams would essentially be playing for a spot in the BSH league next year, which I know is incentive enough for me

I’ll send out an email. Personally, I don’t like deciding relegation based on the last three weeks of the season, but if enough people are willing to endorse it, and I can actually do it, sure why not.
But I’d be pissed if I ended the year in 10th place, then lost in the first round of the consolation bracket.

Completey agreed, I’m fine with a bracket for bragging rights, but nothing as far as determining who stays in the Champs league. Top 10 at the end of the regular season stay, it be messed up to change after the half way point.

There is nothing to counter, what you put on the table should not happen. If you put it up for next year fine, but to do it this year would be completely unfair. Be happy you fleeced Shaun and quit while you’re ahead.

I’m sure you’ll win too because everyone one outside will vote for it, those fairly safe won’t care, and the few in the middle will get out voted.
However, it’s definitely BS, and I say that as someone who shouldn’t be effected by it.

Well, I don’t like relegating half the league. Someone who finished 11th against a bunch of people who cared and research is worse than someone who finished 10th against other groups?
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
Well, it’s not necessarily true that 20 people cared and did research.
Further, 10 people in Champions stay, only the top five in each of the other two groups move up. So if you’re in Champions, you are fighting 19 other people for 10 spots. If you aren’t, you’re fighting 19 other people for 5 spots.
There is an advantage to being in Champions, nevermind the fact that some managers aren’t paying attention, don’t care, and/or have horrible, horrible teams.

Did anybody else watch the AHL All-star game on TV last night? I realize this is a bit of rant, but watching a 7-7 game go straight to a shootout without playing an OT period was terrible. I somehow didn’t realize/remember that was coming, and it sucked the energy right out of the game.

Tried watching the AHL Skills comp….was bored. Pulling for Leights to make a save and actively rooting against the Bears wasn’t enough to keep me interested so I didn’t bother to even flip on the AHLASG.

I kinda had it on in the background while I was on the computer because there wasn’t anything else I planned to watch, and mostly tuned out after the East jumped out to a big lead. But I started paying attention to the last 5 minutes when it was tied and it actually started to get good, so no OT was like the rug being pulled out from under me.

IMO, I took Suter’s announcement that he wouldn’t sign an extension before the deadline to mean that he was available for (or possibly even looking for) a trade. I forgot that Kimmo was in the same situation before he came to us. And I love that Kimmo was trying to warm him up to the idea of playing here.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
From all reports, not true He is not looking for a trade according to all Nashville reports. He doesn’t trust that management will pay others if they pay him. He wants to see if they add salary. Of course, paradoxically, if they do add salary it is slightly less possible for him to sign. Something of a conundrum for Nashville.
Suter would not mind a trade on June 30, but then he could just blow off the team that traded for him.
/HOMER NO! NO! NO! Don’t trade for him and then pay $9M/9years!
GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
I realized that Sather has tons of cap space this offseason so he’ll probably price Homer out of the race.
OPERATION TANK IS A GO. It’s the only explanation for Mike Weber. He’s on a secret mission.
As appealing as Suter-Staal-McDonagh would be down the left side of the defense, I don’t see Glen spending the money this time around.

And I’ll bet that the vast majority of the NHL’s 9 minutes of coverage on ESPN was about Crosby, due to the new information about his injury.

I’ll be missing the game tonight cause I’m going to the ’Canes game again.
After reading Travis’ article, I’m wondering, what would happen if the announcers were completely removed and the players mic’d up, if the fans could get a sense of what was happening. I guess that would be like watching a live game but with the players commentary? I hope I’m making sense this morning.

Semi-related, there was a night a week or so ago that I was home and didn’t have anything pressing to do, so I started looking for some hockey, any hockey, to watch. I came across the end of a Caps game, and I guess they were having sound problems or something because there were no commentators all the way to the end of the broadcast, only the mics around the rink. Watching the last ~7-8 minutes of the 3rd period, with nothing but the sound of skates on ice, hits, shots, players yelling to each other, and the crowd reaction. It was pretty nice, actually.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
That’s awesome! Ice mics are there for a reason, and I think they get overlooked because the announcers are always talking. Hockey is a little harder, but it’s nice to “let the game breathe a little.” It also makes the viewer more interested in the game cause you actually need to watch instead of doing other things and just listening to the announcers to know what is going on.

Agreed. It also felt more like being at the game for the same reasons. Except I had a comfy couch and good food and beer. :-p

Caps are the team with (arguably) the most bandwagon fans ever. You wearing their jersey is, in part, contributing to that.
Carolina I’m sure picked up some bandwagoners after their Cup. They’re probably gone or real fans at this point so they’re pretty much non-threatening. Plus they won their cup with 3 Flyers that I was really happy to see lift the the Holy Grail of Hockey. The last part doesn’t really make an argument I just like mentioning that JWill won a fucking cup.

1994 – After over a decade of mass confusion caused by impossibly obscure terms like “Wales” and “Campbell” the league switches to an East vs. West format that finally allows hockey to explode in popularity, according to Gary Bettman’s imagination.
2003 – The Western Conference wins the first ever all-star game to end with a shootout, leaving fans feeling excited and exhilarated and mildly confused about why the Eastern Conference still got a point in the standings.

Dude, you guys. That rookie bubble graph is really really cool. Basically, Sean Couturier is a medium-smallish blue bubble in the top right quadrant. That’s good. It means he’s doing well in difficult situations against quality competition. Matt Read is a tiny blue bubble, also in the top right, but not as high as Scooter. Rinaldo is a gigantic red bubble close to the middle. That’s bad, but not as bad as some others in the graph.
Anyways, it’s fun to look at. If I knew how to make a bubble graph, I would totally do it for the Flyers (hint hint). I think Eric did something similar in the beginning of the year (Eric Wellwood is 47) but it would be cool to have a current one with names instead of numbers (hint hint).

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
Really, really good read. Of course, here’s the part that we’ll be interested in:
Cooke has continued to talk to Shanahan about the NHL’s player safety standards, and the reinforced rules on checks to the head and boarding calls that were added in 2011. So did the Philadelphia Flyers, regarding one of their hardest hitting players.
“Philadelphia told me about Zac Rinaldo,” said Shanahan. “He’s a really big hitter. Hits hard. But they said to him that if you see 20 hits a game in your head, pick the best three. That’s enough to be a physical, intimidating player in this League. When I hear coaching like that, that’s when I’m thinking there’s full buy-in there.”
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Jan 31, 2012 1:30 PM EST up reply actions
Yes, I can’t believe I forgot to mention that, thanks for bringing it up. That’s absolutely fascinating, the possibility that maybe they’re trying to coach the BSC-ness out of him.
I love that players, coaches and GMs are approaching Shanahan to talk and seek advice about the game and rules/safety. It really just feels like this system is more open, collaborative, and transparent as opposed to Campbell’s decrees issued from behind closed doors. And I feel like that can only lead to good things for the game.
