I wont be able to stand seeing Leetchie in the black & orange.
I hope he comes to his senses and calls Glen up this week .
He can surely fit in the lineup, quarterback the blueline, maybe he'll help our sputtering PP, anything but a flyer

maybe we'll get lucky and the Ducks will want Ozolinsch back out west,...

I don't think Leech will play this year. I know the Flyers seem interested but I don't see it happening unless Rathje sits the whole season and then is available for the playoffs. That way the Flyers have his salary to play with during the season. And I have to say, it was a nice home and home series. I mean back and forth play, alittle chippy and back to the feel of old Rangers/Flyers games. It bodes well for an exciting season in the Atlantic division.
My biggest problem is the refs and pentaly calls. I mean how can there be any flow to a game that is stopped every couple of minutes for a penalty that had no bearing on play. I know the NHL wants to create a faster, more exciting, higher scoring game but its getting ridiculous and hopefully they'll maybe decide to let the players play for a bit. But I don't see that happening.
This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
I always liked Dominic Moore- during his short time here in NYC . It will be weird seeing him in the Penguin black ( white ) and yellow. I wish him success- just not tonight !
Because the other rookie star Malkin is out for Pitts,we will also get a look at the 3rd Staal brother- this being the baby brother Jordan ( to Eric & Marc ) . Shame we've yet to see our Staal brother in the roster .

October 12, 2006 -- After sitting out the first three games of the season, Darius Kasparaitis finally reached his boiling point.
There is a chance he'll dress tonight against the Penguins, be it an outside one, but Kasparaitis stormed away from reporters yesterday in order to compose himself behind closed doors when discussing his level of frustration in missing games.
Tom Renney could be in danger of mentally losing his most physical defenseman, and in mid-sentence yesterday, Kasparaitis needed to excuse himself before potentially saying something that could have jeopardized the coach's willingness to put him in the lineup.
When asked if it was getting more and more frustrating to sit with each game, Kasparaitis said, "I don't know, really. I just try to be positive and work hard and think about my teammates, at least . . ." and then he was off and running. He disappeared into the players-only hallway outside the dressing room and privately peeled off his practice gear.
Renney said he will "have to defer until [this] morning" a decision on Kasparaitis, whose conditioning level is not up to par following summertime groin and shoulder surgeries, in the coach's estimation.
"I don't have a gun to my head or anything like that," Renney said in response to whether he'll make any roster changes after Tuesday's no-show performance against the Flyers. "I'm going to make a decision that's based on sensible information and I'll do whatever I think is right."
Tuesday's lethargic 4-2 loss was painful to watch, but it was even more excruciating for Kasparaitis, a player known for setting a physical tone with his crushing checks.
"When you're injured or you don't play, you always think you can make a difference," Kasparaitis said. "Of course, when you watch a game like that, you want to be there, maybe make a big hit or I don't know, just feel like you can do something, you know, impossible."
Kasparaitis, who will be required by Renney to pass an endurance test before he's cleared to play, stopped short of saying anything damning. He did return after cooling off and made no secret of his desire to get back in uniform.
"The best test is you just go and play and see where you're at," Kasparaitis said. "But whatever happens, happens. I'm just trying to work hard, stay positive . . . and whenever they decide, I'll be ready to play."

Leetch, for instance, has become the name of the week as Philadelphia GM Bob Clarke acknowledged chatting with Leetch's agent, Jay Grossman, about the defenseman's availability and desire to play. The Flyers (1-2 after beating the Rangers Tuesday night) are without Mike Rathje and newcomer Lars Jonsson along an already shaky blue line. The Leafs, likewise, will be without rear guard Pavel Kubina for several weeks with a strained ligament in his knee, an injury that adds to an already injury-depleted blue line in Toronto.
But don't expect Leetch to jump into the fray anytime soon. After signing early in Boston after the lockout, the veteran blueliner will be waiting patiently to make sure he finds a team where the fit works for both Leetch and the team, Grossman told ESPN.com. And that's assuming he decides he's going to play at all.

Oct 17 - Is Alexander Ovechkin playing with a groin injury? Depends on who you ask.

He has two goals and two assists in four games, but the two goals came in the same game against Carolina. Outside of that game, he has not scored any other goals, including four preseason games.

"We believe in this group," Barnett was quoted as saying in The Arizona Republic. "There are 78 games left to play. Individuals coming together doesn't happen overnight.

Bruins Flyers? Leetch working out in Boston
Oct 16 - With rumors swirling that Brian Leetch might soon return to the NHL, the veteran defenseman is reportedly back on the ice.
According to a report in the New York Post, Leetch has moved back to Boston as his son attends school there and will return to skating after nearly a month off.
With the Flyers' Mike Rathje out indefinitely with a herniated disk (see below), the team had talks with Leetch's agent, Jay Grossman.
"Brian has not made any decisions about the season so far," Grossman told the Philadelphia Inquirer last week. "We've been contacted by a number of teams about playing this season. There are a number of things Brian has to sort through. He's made no decision in his personal situation."
The Inquirer added that GM Bob Clarke has spoken with Grossman, but not with Leetch directly.
According to the report, Leetch wants to remain in the Eastern Conference because he still lives in New York, where he helped lead the Rangers to a Cup in 1994.
Leetch, 38, had 32 points and was a minus-10 in 61 games last season with the Boston Bruins.

Oct 16 - With Jason Allison still out of work, a report out of Canada suggests the Carolina Hurricanes might want to pick up the veteran free-agent center.
According to hockey scribe Eric Duhatschek of The Globe and Mail, Allison might be a good fit for the defending Stanley Cup champs, who have gotten off to a rocky 2-3-1 start.
With a return to the Maple Leafs out of the picture, Allison is still without a deal. He reportedly turned down a $1 million offer from the St. Louis Blues during the offseason.
According to The Globe and Mail report, several Russian teams have expressed an interest in Allison, but the veteran didn't want to play overseas.
Allison, 31, had 17 goals and 43 assists in 66 games last season with Toronto.
thanks buddy !
no breaking news there, i hope that he can work something out , and go out in the red white and blue. He certainly wouldnt hurt our current situation, thats for sure. Im sure they could put Rachunek back down to the Wolfpack,...probably pair him up with Rozsival , or maybe Hall.
I will be very pissed if they sign ( or bring up ) Ozolinsch, instead of Leetchie .

we all agree we can use leetchie ,, fuck that ozolinsh he would help the PP
but the turnovers and the pinching far outweigh the good things
While I was either at the game on Thrursday or playing NHL2K7 for Xbox with my brother and his friend, my brother asked me Ozolinsh's status, and I said he was out with a knee injury, he said that sucks, I screamed at him, "WTF? He sucks! Good thing he's hurt! The drunk bastard!" To which his replied, "wow, you're not a nice person!"
he's about due to go off on a scoring binge , anytime now-

According to The Globe and Mail report, several Russian teams have expressed an interest in Allison, but the veteran didn't want to play overseas.
Allison, 31, had 17 goals and 43 assists in 66 games last season with Toronto.
no breaking news there, i hope that he can work something out , and go out in the red white and blue. He certainly wouldnt hurt our current situation, thats for sure. Im sure they could put Rachunek back down to the Wolfpack,...probably pair him up with Rozsival , or maybe Hall.
I will be very pissed if they sign ( or bring up ) Ozolinsch, instead of Leetchie .

we all agree we can use leetchie ,, fuck that ozolinsh he would help the PP
but the turnovers and the pinching far outweigh the good things
The refs calls were herendous - only calling the penalties if the guy wore blue.
Im happy we won, but 2 things stand out :
1 ) Colin White needs a good ass kicking
2 ) Janssens needs an even bigger ass kicking
that is all

While I was either at the game on Thrursday or playing NHL2K7 for Xbox with my brother and his friend, my brother asked me Ozolinsh's status, and I said he was out with a knee injury, he said that sucks, I screamed at him, "WTF? He sucks! Good thing he's hurt! The drunk bastard!" To which his replied, "wow, you're not a nice person!"
last time they played prucha had 2 goals.
