    Good for him. The best player in the NHL for several years there in the 90's.
    Completely dominant both physically and skill wise.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs

    He deserved to be in vs some of the other guys they put in recently. Injuries really derailed what could have been an all time type of career.
    Rogie Vachon!
    Really a shit class of first time eligibles this year.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Lot of good reports on the draft. I don't know anything about Dale Weise but most people like that move as well. Hextall is great -- now please trade Streit and Read.

    Future is bright!

    B. Manning signed for 2 years/ 1.95M
    Cap space of over $1M heading into training camp.
    The logjam of defenseman on this team, most of them being bottom tiered i a bit startling. Looks like Provorov is going to need to play out of his mind to lock down one of the D positions. Hextall needs to clear out a couple of these guys by the trade deadline this season.

    Good problem to have. Start the season w the vets on the roster. Hope they play well. Then maybe flip them if the young guys are ready

    If provorov/morin light up camp then you move vets to open spots. Guys on other teams get hurt. There will be opportunity to trade guys. Flyers will deal from a position of strength.

    This team isn't a cup contender yet. But hextall has ammo to make moves to put them. Sorry I'm watching the news. I hope Hillary Clinton gets hit by a bus. She is the fucking the worst

    Go flyers. Hextall knows what's up

    or you could have just not signed Gudas to a 4 year deal which of course you liked. yea that's going to come back to haunt this team.

    how is your boy Chris Christie doing? i remember you saying he'd be the next president. yea not so much. you might want to settle in because you are going to get HIllary for at least 4 years.

    The more I look at it the worse it gets. Cat believe that is the design this franchise came up with to honor it's 50th.
    Hopefully its not used much.

    The only reason to come up with a special jersey is to get people to buy more. It's not great and it's not awful.

    I see our boy Gudas had another wonderful attempt to kill someone last night... and the NHL as Presented by Comcast is again going to turn a blind eye.

    i hate Gudas and they give this turd a 4-year deal.

    on another note Keith Jones thinks Provorov will be Flyers best defensemen in a very short time. great to see. Hopefully they keep Konecny too

    It wasnt that bad of a hit. He glided into the hit,didnt charge and Vesey was not only low but turned his back.

    Having said that, Gudas should know by this point to just hold up on the hit.

    My feeling: Provorov makes the team. It's a huge numbers games now with all these guys signed on defense as well as the new rules for the Las Vegas expansion team draft.
    Koneckny should make the team but I think he's on the bubble until the last preseason game.
    That Lubomir guy may make the team too.
    I'd send Read just about anywhere besides the Flyers.

    Gudas is such a common denominator. I have a hard time having sympathy for him and all these "unfortunate situations" that seem to happen around him that force him to level players in compromised positions.

    Maybe the other player shouldnt put himself into that position by turning his back and dipping last second?
    Coasting, no charge.

    Another season where every hit is scrutinized and cried over- maybe the NHL should just go full no contact.

    he hits him in the head though. i know the guy stops and dips but like being aware of your stick at all times you have to be aware to not hit a guy in the head. and if you've had so many incidents like this already hard to give Gudas the benefit of the doubt.

    Its this guy in particular. This is a constant theme for him. We again are blaming the victim? Was it a strategy to try to "draw" Gudas into a very risky hit that can result in serious (and permanent) injury? Is a player not allowed to turn there? If it is a large number of other players, I can listen to the whole 'speed of the play', etc... but for me, the benefit of any doubt with Gudas went out the window long ago. This guy is a predator.


    Then he doesn't even have to answer for it. Someone goes after him, gets tied up with someone else, and Gudas gets into a grab match and is whisked away into the lockerroom.
