Matt Read is out 6-8 weeks with an upper body injury.

it's not like he's a world beater either. it's just maddening they sign weise and extend garbage players like raffl and bellemare instead of just going with who they have.
guess vecchione isn't eligible to play in the ahl. he'd have been a nice addition.

Where would Vecchione rank in our prospect list among Rubetsov, Sanheim, Hart, Hagg, Morin, etc.? Just curious.

Was wondering the same, I read an article that said something along the lines as "not as fast as Matt Read a few years ago" as if it was a good thing and now I'm a little suspect. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
Edit found the exact quote and article
Craig Button, the former Calgary general manager who is highly respected analyst at TSN in Canada, compared Vecchione to Tyler Bozak, the third-line center with Toronto who has 17 goals and 50 points this season.
“There’s been real progress in his game,” Button said about Vecchione. “A lot of it comes from just maturing physically and gaining confidence.
Vecchione “is not as fast as Matt Read was two or three years ago, but he’s heavy like Tyler Bozak,” Button said. “Tyler has a quick mind and is strong on the puck; he makes good plays and understands how to play the game.”

Saw another report that compared him to brendan gallagher. Would be fine with that outcome.

always tough to project dudes that are 24 playing against a lot of 18/19 year olds. he's only two months younger than couturier who's finishing up his sixth nhl season.

colin mcdonald, who plays in the ahl instead of scrubs like lyubimov, vv and peb, scores in his first game up.

Holy fuck, just saw the video, that's scary.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

He was apparently not feeling well before hand either. Hopefully it's just a flu or dehydration.

3-0 final, first combined shutout in the regular season since Boucher/Cechmanek in 2001. (Boucher/Leighton had one in the 2010 playoffs)

coach tried to get emergency temple guy into the game with 43 seconds to go but wasn't allowed because it wasn't an emergency siutation.
Not everything I think is something I should say.

Playoffs hopes alive (barely) even with Boston's win today. If Flyers lose tonight, they're done.
This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

They need:
4 wins
Toronto or Ottawa to lose all 5 in regulation
3 Tampa Bay losses (at least 2 in reg)
2 NY Islanders losses (at least 1 in reg)
2 Carolina losses (at least 1 in reg)
