Was about to post this.... glad I took a look around.


WTF was he thinking???? this will probably buy him a ticket out of town.
He probably knew it was his last days as a Flyer and he was so sad he went to drown his sorrows.

The same goes for the rest of our players (and coach) who had little to no playoff experience a couple of weeks ago. This is a big deal all around and I think the entire organization is better for it moving forward.

Next year, I feel that the expectations grow because we should clearly be a stronger, deeper, more talented team. A round one loss in six games may no longer be sufficient, no matter the rival.

To me, this season is proof that rock bottom is in the past and this team is set to make the playoffs and soon contend for a long while now. The future is bright and it is upon us before many even expected.

If we are going to let Ryan White go I would love to replace him with Matt Martin of the Islanders. That would keep Simmer from having to fight and he wouldn't be sitting in the box for 5 minutes a pop.

I actually think Simmonds plays better when he fights. It seems to keep him engaged. There were times during the season when he seemed to be coasting and not playing physical hockey.

If I could see Simmer whip someone's butt in a fight every game I would definitely love that but IMO he is to valuable to our team to sit in the box for 5 minutes or risk injury in a fight.

This shit is unreal. He'll be turning 45 next season and he may have had a shot at a couple of Gretzky's records (most goals, for one) if he had not gone to the KHL for a few seasons.

They say father time always wins out. Well, I am not so sure in this case.
This is a great story. I hated him on the Rags and Pens and I liked him ever since he came back from Russia.

I definitely wouldn't mind Washington coming back and winning this series.

It would've been nice, but scratch that. After watching the second and third periods, the blinding north/south speed of Pittsburgh was way too much for Washington, as expected. It appears that they are pulling another rabbit out of their hats with a coaching change and Cup all in the same year...again. Pretty depressing to watch...

I guess I have to start rooting for TB now but it will tough without Stamkos and Stralman.
