Hatcher needs to get dumped. Throw Rathje in there with him. Umberger has played well lately. I think the lines need to be changed along with LOTS of other changes. You can't put too much blame on Niitty because of the bad defense. But Esche's last outing he made 4 saves on 8 shots, and none of them were powerplay goals. But whatever, this team better make some changes before they fall completely out of it.

I'm kinda shocked w/Richards, because he's supposed to be a good 2-way forward. But I guess playing on a non-scoring line will really hurt your +/-

Yea, the lines are really bad, but it's not like they have a choice. Oh, and btw, Carter is out for like 6 weeks with a broken ankle.

Just fucking lovely.

I havent had time to follow the team much this year, but to be honest, they're not giving me much reason to.

but wait, there's more.. Today they made more pointless moves that will have no effect on the team....



PHILADELPHIA (CP) - The Philadelphia Flyers called up centres Petr Nedved, Matt Ellison and Ryan Potulny along with defenceman Martin Grenier from the American Hockey League's Philadelphia Phantoms on Wednesday.
The moves came a day after the Flyers learned that forward Jeff Carter would miss six weeks with a broken left ankle.
Nedved, 34, started the season with the Flyers but was demoted after going scoreless in six games. He recorded four goals with four assists in seven games for the Phantoms.
Ellison, 22, has a goal and an assist in one game for the Phantoms after missing 11 contests while recovering from abdominal surgery.
Potulny, 22, has one goal and two assists in seven games for the Phantoms.
Grenier, 26, is scoreless with 16 penalty minutes in nine games for the Phantoms.

Nedved needs to just go. He's done with. Potulny is part of the team's future, so he should be up. I'm glad to see Ellison is going to finally get a chance, so maybe we didnt give away Patrick Sharp for nothing. And Grenier...shit, anyone's better than the D we've got now. I see this as a step in the right direction. Even if it offers little immediate help, its working towards finding an answer.

Isn't Grenier the humongous guy with the size 15 skate that was on coatsey's corner?

[Captain Awesome]

This sucks.

Simon Gagne is killing me in my league.

No idea.

We made a trade today...

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) - The Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday acquired center Daniel Corso from the Philadelphia Flyers for right wing Darren Reid.

The 28-year-old Corso has appeared in 77 career NHL games with the St. Louis Blues and Atlanta Thrashers, totaling 14 goals and 11 assists. Corso's best season came in 2000-01, when he scored 10 goals in 28 games with the Blues.

So why do we need Fedoruk then?

The right attitude.

Return to the correct BSB style.

Broad Street Bullies...not Backstreet Boys

True. And being feared around the league is important. But, I just don't like using up a spot on less skilled players like Fedoruk when we have guys like Eager, Richards, and Gauthier to knock out guys. Which makes me more pissed about getting rid of Handzus. He was such an intrical part of our defense under Hitch, and he could be an enforcer while putting up decent offensive numbers.
