It was definitely a late hit, but at the same time keep your goddamn head up and stop admiring your passes and putting yourself in vulnerable positions.

I lol'ed

True enough though, dude was thinking he was hot shit and admiring his pass.

Should be suspended at least a game (should be the rest of the playoff though).


I think Vancouver will come back and take game 4 though.

After watching the replay a few more times he may not have been admiring the pass as much as I thought, just looking to make sure he was on-sides....but still, players do that way too often.

Horton is done with a severe concussion. Rome is suspended for the rest of the playoffs.

Kinda the sad thing about all of this is it was what 8 years ago this happened:

And all people were looking for then was a 2min interference call.

Flyers have acquired the rights to (G) Ilya Bryzgalov from PHX in exchange for Matt Clackson, 2012 3rd round pick & conditional draft pick.

I think God looked at his calendar and said "let's mix some shit up in Philly fan's lives today".

Thank you, God. Now let's not let him turn into Hamhuis.

Hamhuis never wanted to go anywhere except Vancouver, Nabby would be a better example of us not getting it done last year.

How are they even going to have the cap room to get his contract in. $4.5 was what he made last season and you know it is going to be close to the same. Carter's days got to be numbered in philly as this point.

Carter's been as good as gone for a while in my book. He's an amazing player and guy, but just too fragile, especially with our style of play.

Yeah I'm more than okay with Carter getting the boot to bring Bryz in...speculation on another board says two of Carle/Versteeg/Carter could be gone to make room, I'd prefer to keep Carle and get rid of those two other wastes.

 

[leaffan]

Carter to TO :smug:

I honestly thought these trades were deemed illegal after last year.

 

[Ravin]

I never got the point in PHilly getting Versteeg to be honest. He was a 3rd line guy on the Hawks, so I guess they thought that on Philly. Still, you had to figure that you would want to keep his cap. Now you got to find two teams to take 9Million in cap.

And no suspension for Ryder. What's the difference between this and the Rome hit?

There is a major difference, and if this were to happen now it would have to be like a 10 gamer since Jones didn't even have the puck at all in that play and was laid out.

The NHL is starting to come around with these hits, but it is going to take some time. With the general meeting on Rule 48 coming up, you should see it be more effective next season.

:wtf:

 

[Obst]

If we have to trade anyone, I'm hoping we move Hartnell for peanuts and then either Carle or Versteeg

 

[wingsfan77]

:wtf:

Yeah, I know Carle isn't great but I'd rather keep him around and keep the D as strong as possible

 

[Ravin]

But really, you don't need the insane D if you are going to sign Bryzer.

I keep reading about Carter to Columbus for the blue jackets 8th overall pick.

Would actually be a good fit.

Yeah I read that from Eklund too, I think it would take a little more than that to get Homer to trade Carter away. Only way I would do that trade straight up is if Sean Couturier dropped to 8.
