Maybe it's Berube but that's the easy answer.

He wasn't even calling the shots in OT. Camera crew showed him holding the clipboard while G and crew drew up their own play. And they won. connectt the dots.

Letang out indefinitely, hopefully Rinaldo gets 10+

I'm in in this. However lets not allow Letang to have a pity party. A few POs back he jumped Timonen for no good reason. Karma's a @#$%^. Then on Tuesday night, when playing a notoriously passive Flyers team this season, they called up a middleweight punk from their Wilkes Barre club to play. Who knows, maybe if the Penguins had actually iced a player instead of this goof, Akeson would have been in the Flyers lineup instead of Rinaldo?
I am sorry that Letang got rung up, maybe not too sorry. However, lets not forget that the Penguins have sicked Neal, Cooke, Malkin, Kunitz and other assorted knuckle draggers to attack the Flyers and other teams in the past. Run with the wolves; howl with the wolves.

he looked fine skating at practice yesterday. most other guys probably only get a game or two from that hit.

Supposedly the concussion symptoms showed up after the practice which isn't an unusual situation.
As for Rinaldo, I hope that he gets a Downie sized twenty games for no other reason than Berube won't be able to play him for a month or so.

Vorachek is having an amazing year and we fucking blow. Sicadis

Looks like he's gonna get a long-term deal of $8M+/yr. Not sure if it's gonna be from us though

Yeah Hextall really has his work cut out, this trade deadline should be interesting.

Mike Richards on waivers.

Still can't believe that they didn't use a buyout on him.

LOYALTY was the reason. LOYALTY

No surprise. I actually predicted this a few years ago on this board (out of hockey).

When you don't take care of yourself or your body, what do you expect?

Headed to the AHL.......ouch.

What did he say, something like, "You can't bench press goals into the net"?

He will be claimed.

At that salary I would say that is highly unlikely.

Well the rumor was they were close on a few trades that fell through this weekend, so I thought there could be some interest, but who knows if the trades were just dumping players like the Hartnell/Umberger deal.

Plus giroux, a player that some people would pick 1st to build a franchise around. How badly does everyone else suck on this team?

Well the defense is bad, and goaltending has been bad overall. PK has been really bad. Flyers really need a #1 and #2 Dman, but that is easier said than done.

The stench is coming from behind the bench.
