Seems as the readers of the NY Times still don’t get my humour
The Bruins score 2 goals on a small 2 game trip and they win both games, who do you think you are Tim Thomas.
The Thrashers are horrid hockey team and Kovalchuk has mailed it in already. The Thrashers need to trade him NOW and start with the rebuild with out him. He is poisoning the team and he needs to change now.
Simon Gagne thinks he’s well umm Simon Gagne, welcome back!
Alexander Semin rips Sid Crosby, basically saying he’s overrated and has the personality of a piece of wood. Holy smokes I can’t wait for the next Caps/Pens game.
Congrats to my beloved Phillies. Just great for the city of Philadelphia and me! I’ve been through hell defending my love all that is Philly sports and this sure helps.
Knuble went on a stretch this week of getting 3 goals in a row reviewed. He ain’t pretty but he gets it done.
Who does this Miettinen character on the Wild think he is? The Finns sure make some damn good hockey players.
Thanks to everybody who called and e-mailed me about the Phillies World Series win. I received e-mails and calls from Cuba, Sweden, Anaheim and all over Canada. Thanks and great stuff.
Take a seat Saku, you are still a good player and leader but it’s little brothers Mikko’s time.
The Carey Price the Flyers beat up on is not the Carey Price so far this season, Price is playing stellar.
Fantasy Corner
Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them in my comments section
I hope you didn’t panic and trade Kiprusoff, he’s back and looking like Kipper.
Mason Raymond is the newest Canuck to addition as the 3rd Sedin, keep an eye on him.
Speaking of Canucks, the little round mound of offense Kyle Wellwood is playing some nifty hockey.
Mike Modano on a point a game pace? Seems crazy but it’s happening.
Sergei Zubov is back next week. He’ll play 65 games this year and get you 50 points.
Keep an eye on the Pens, they can’t seem to find any wingers to play with Sid and Geno which seems impossible but true.
Young Derrick Brassard of the Blue Jackets has 9 points in 10 games and the kid has game.
RJ Umberger is proving he is a 3rd liner and it was wise of the Flyers to let him walk, trade him if you can.
Ryan Clowe is heating up in San Jose after a slow start.
Have a great weekend everybody.

Your comments on Umberger…. true he isnt playing the way he did when he was in Philadelphia, but consider the situation. He is on a weaker team whose entire offense revolves around Rick Nash, unlike Philly last year that had six 20+ goal scorers. He is being asked to shoulder much more of the offensive load in Columbus than he did here in Philly and he isnt that kind of player. Its a tough situation to be in, but playing under Ken Hitchcock, he will become a better all around player and if his stay in Columbus is short lived, he will help whichever team he goes to next thanks to Hitch.

god what i would do to see Kovalchuk in a Flyers jersey. but what in the world would we have to give up to even entertain him????
November 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 AM
FF, I would think Gagne, Briere or Carter plus a prospect and a pick would be the start of the talks. Personally I would rather see him in LA, Vancouver, Phoenix or Edmonton. This way the Flyers core stays intact and they also don’t have to see him but twice a year.
November 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 PM
youre probably right OC… i felt that might be the case. i too would rather leave the Flyers core intact. i cant imagine seeing Gagne in another jersey. however, i think the exception for me might be Briere. i would let him go willingly if i thought it would yield Kovalchuk in a deal.
