Av's vs Flyer's GNT:

Nah he takes too many beat downs like his Mom did. Ouch! That was a little cruel, But When you beat your spouse well.......

No I hope it's a good game. Don't know why the Av's didn't improve their "D" this year, they have a very good group of young forwards..

why the avs didn't bother to improve their D

1. they're not gonna win it all this year, and Kroenke's being cheap (well in terms that any NHL team can be cheap) while playing with Arnsenal and the Rams
2. we have a ton of quality defensive prospects coming up in the next couple years: Shattenkirk, Cohen, Holos (well, he's sitting in the #7 role right now), Elliot, Guance, etc... just by shear numbers a couple of them should be decent

I wish they would've bolstered their "D" they have a great core of forwards on this team. I hope your right and some of those youngsters step up and become good.
