I agree with all your points except for Franco, he’s great. I am choosing to ignore the .170 average.

If you leave something brown in a urinal you have more pressing issues then how to flush it

I know were all cheering on Clarke Macarthur, but if you just missed 2 years with concussions, realistically you have no business playing playoff hockey. One high hit and his brain is never healing. Sorry to be so pessimistic Clarke.

but there not alone. Brian Elliott had people believing, then of course just in time for the playoffs he regained his form.

maybe its the day of the week but that last sentence had me dying

Whenever I hear ESPN and Hockey it just makes me miss the Gary Thorne broadcasts

what a shame torts seems like such a great guy

Can you imagine where the preds would be now if Laviolette wasn’t fired by a trigger happy Paul Holmgren, and the Caps werent so desperate to get there hands on Martin Erat.

I liked this flames team, but with your playoff chances tied to Brian Elliott more often than not this is how it finishes.

I never wanted to go to Vegas and I still don’t have any desire to go. But you’re understating the realtionship of the NFL and gambling. Never before has someone been able to Legally bet on there team and drive/walk(i have no idea where the stadium is in relation to the casions) to the game. Plus I’d say each casino…

well hangovers are a major flaw in there business model, but I could definitely see hoards of gambling enthusiast fans of team x planning a trip around there teams visit, but i could be wrong

I tend to disagree with you I think Vegas will fill up the stadiums, if not with local fans than with Casino patrons, fantastic art work nonetheless.

more plausible this year than most, i can’t see any clear cut favorites besides maybe the Pens, who have a goalie prone to playoff blowups.

I wonder which team will be the suckers to offer him a big money money multi year deal... who am i kidding the flyers will probably give him a 10 year deal and he will be back in Moscow this time next year

I’ve also found bird feeders can double as squirrel feeders, but if you really want a close encounter with a bird just go to the beach and hold a sandwich in the air, seagulls are beautiful this time of year

There was no d in that series what soever and the flyers were on fire offensively, and i remember another series against the islanders maybe where he got benched for Vokoun, but compared to the goalies my squad has put out over the last few decades (Mason, Leighton Boucher, you get the picture) he might as well be…

honestly whats the use with JD Drew retired i mostly just try to drive around the art museum all day

I think Murray is a better goaltender, but the widespread belief that Fleury is shit is surprising, he’s had a very good career and hes only 32 so probably still some good years left

Its not much worse than the dreck some of the beat writers put out

probably, but anybody who knocks out their own teammate is a bigger asshole
