The World's Worst Game: Curry or Covid


on: June 23, 2011, 03:05:16 PM

So...

Looks like the Flyers have some crazy hijinks in the works:

Carter to Columbus for Voracek and picks
M. Richards to LA for Simmonds, Schenn, and a pick
Flyers Sign Bryzgalov

Flyers have a lot of space left under the cap

Insanity. I'm glad Carter is gone, but not sure how I feel about Richards...but signing a good goalie for once is nice. Can't wait to see what else happens.

I was hoping the Canucks could pry Carter away for a song. Welp.

Instead, they just made two other teams in the west better. Going to be interesting to see Nash play with an actual skilled offensive player on his line.

Don't worry about Carter. All he does is skate down the wings, and 90% of his shots can be classified as:

On right wing, shot is to the short side for an easy save.
On left wing, shot is high and wide.

And he should rarely be counted on to score a goal when it matters most. Have fun, CBJ.  Ohhhhh, I see.

You can keep him, I'm not sure I want him in Detroit. He's going to want too much money for what he's worth.

Towards the end of the time he was with the Rangers he was already starting to tail off.   I mean, with his hands and his size, he'll always be a scoring threat, but old legs can only carry you so far.

They picked some forward and some defenseman who both sound OK. The fuckup was probably whatever they did to not be picking til 22nd though.

Awesome way for it to be announced nonchalantly during the draft pick. Interesting that they're keeping them in the SE division, at least for this season. I hope they like flying. ACK!

Hopefully he will sign with the Pens, then he and Sindey collide during training camp and both miss the season with massive concussions and/or PMS.

Well... there goes another investment on another jersey. And I am not saying the new designs aren't really well done. I am fairly excited about it.

edit: Now the wait begins... NHL shop is has Winn as unlisted.

No worries. You know it's only a matter of time before they have the retro 3rd jersey.

I believe I read somewhere they won't have an actual jersey until September.

Very nice logo.

Just hope the team actually stays around this time.


-edit-
To Expand on the logo, what I like about it, is it seems timeless. Like that could have been made 50 years ago and/or it could stay exactly the same 50 years down the line.

So I don't know a lot about hockey and never have really had the patience to figure it all out.  I found this article on CNNSI this morning about the life of an enforcer in the NHL and it was engrossing.  I'm a bit taken aback that fighting is such an integral part of the sport, but I guess it's pretty violent by nature.  I think I might like hockey more without the fighting.

Read The Code. It is really interesting and explains a lot about the subtext of interaction on the ice.

Watch European hockey if you don't want the fighting or contact. It's soccer on ice. With cheap shots and diving included.
