I really hope Kimmo isn’t injured – but not just because it means we’re more likely to lose games – I’m afraid a Kimmo injury will mean the Flyers throw away picks and prospects in a deadline deal for a defenseman who will underperform as a rental.

They are 4th in the league with Fenwick close, Thomas and Rask are good goaltenders, first in the league in 5v5 GF/GA. The team PDO is 1006 is lower than the Flyers 1007, though some of the individual player PDO is crazy.

Yeah, but the point is: The Bruins as a team are less lucky than the Flyers while simultaneously a top-5 team based on skill. The Flyers aren’t.

Why is JVR still on this team? At this moment he’s just a fucking waste of a roster spot. We could chuck in Shelley and he’d probably do a better job. What’s more, JVR is as soft as cheese. He’s basically the new Carter. Can’t skate, can’t check, can’t protect the puck, can’t defend. He just coasts about in the zone adding nothing and bringing down his linemates. He’s a liability. Can’t believe we got this guy instead of Patrick Kane. How unlucky were we to miss out on a true franchise player. You know what’s even worse: we probably won’t trade him until everyone in the league realizes what a fucking bust he is. And that way we can’t even get a return for him.

Just to toss some numbers out there to back Geoffie Deets:
The #2 defenseman in points for the last 4 Cup Champions:
2010-11 Bruins: Dennis Seidenberg 7-25-32
2009-10 Blackhawks: Dustin Byfuglien 17-17-34 (he was #1 in goals, but Keith’s 14-55-69 is more impressive)
2008-09 Penguins: Alex Goligoski 6-14-20 (albeit in 45 games – that’s a 11-26-37 pace over 82 games)
2007-08 Red Wings: Brian Rafalski 13-42-55
Carle is on pace for a 9-38-47 season, making him second to Rafalski in points among #2 defensemen. Offensively, the D is all right.

Perfect fits, really. Allen gives you size, Gleason gives you a little more offense. Both with OK cap hits of around $3M, so they can fit comfortably within Pronger’s LTIR, and the ‘Canes will be in a selling mode sooner rather then later. They are both UFA’s at year’s end. Give them a 2nd or 3rd rounder and we should be good to go.

It still be sorta going. It’s okay but I’m dealing with other stupid app frustrations now, like character limits for things like the name of the scholarship I have.

character limits? christ it seems like schools make students jump thru ridiculous hoops that frankly don’t exist in the real world unless your a journalist. (in the case of the character limits) Even the work loads are completely unreallistic. I can only guess, I’ve only taken classes but never have done the full stretch. Seriously if the intensity of the workplace was like that of college work loads the suicide rate would triple.
And NOW I have another issue. Apparently there’s a 500 word limit on personal statements…which the department’s page NEGLECTED TO MENTION.
I have to cut almost 100 words.

a fuckin men to that ive always felt that way about tenure..past 2 profesors with tenure were horrid…one left early for phillies games even if we had questions to ask and the other would get the answer key completely wrong on the study sheet and only realize the day b4 the test and wouldnt push it back at all, then would tell you everything in the test is in the study homework, then add an extra chapter we didnt cover yet

Vonnegut pretty easy. Funny, dark but with a light at the end of the tunnel. You’ll like it. Great storyteller and great characters. If you like Vonnegut move on to Pynchon, very Vonnegut -like but has the chops of Joyce. He’s more of a writer’s writer than Vonnegut.
Flash backs upon reading the Vonnegut stuff: I had a thing for his niece back in our school days together.
I hunted with the predator sir, and you are no predator
….thank god, the dental bills, jesus effing christ.
Vonnegut to Pynchon in one step? You like steep learning curves, man.

Have not been reading the thread but I just want to say how good Couturier is playing. It looks like he is going to be a fantastic player. He is very young but his play in his own end is like watching a shutdown veteran center. If he stays on the right path he could be an unbelievible two-way player in this league.

Someone mentioned it earlier – there was a segment in the second period when we saw Schenn and Couturier both have really good shifts, either one after the other or close together, and it was the first time this year that you got the sense of the future.

I am giving Schenn a muligan this year. I just hope the Flyers don’t trade him or if they do I hope its for a great package. These two are going to be very good they just need to mature. The fact that they are so young playing this well is scary. I have been waiting for Schenn to get physical and he finally was tonight. His first couple games back he looked a little timid. You can see his confiedence is coming.

Hoping the FO is taking the long view here, this team is built to win for a while so I would rather keep the team and see what happens. It would be a nice to get another Dman and see if it helps, but if it’s a rental, why waste the pics/players? Next year this team should be sick.
G, the second coming of Foppa.

would you takebobby ryan for schenn and a 3rd if your homer?

No. Ryan’s too expensive. Yes, we could fit him with the LTIR exception this season, but it cripples our flexibility for years, and Schenn’s potential is too high.
Bob.
Im with you on that but for a different reason. If Schenn and Couturier develop properly and don’t get injured which is still an if but looking good for now, think about how we stand up the middle. We would have G, Couturier, and Schenn. That could be a great 1 thru 3 up the middle. By the time Danny B. is comming off contract (or if he gets traded which won’t be easy) are two young centers should be hitting their stride.

game-winning goal by a Senators draft pick. Probably another fan vote onto the All-Star team.
