It's basically 12 years, since it is on top of the 2 years he still has left on the current deal. Matt Cain signed a new contract with the Giants also. With he and Jered Weaver off the market, I wonder what this means for Cole Hamels.

Haha, the one I posted is real. Wish the other one was real though!

Now.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Have to wonder how good UK would be if they actually had a call go their way once in a while.

Ruptured achilles for Jason Peters. Will miss the whole season. And as a 30 year old offensive lineman, I'd be kind of surprised if he ever plays again. Not a good start to the year, to put it lightly.

I think it's something like a 95% chance we play PIT in round 1. Flyers control their own destiny for home ice, though. It was very nice of the Islanders to help us out this week.

I have not made that argument, nor have I argued that Roy was not great. I don't think ECN has either. Nobody has.

I am wondering the same thing.

Agreed. On a similar yet unrelated note, the divisions are so unbalanced this year, in both conferences. Anybody think it's time for the NHL to change the playoff format up? I don't want to eliminate divisions, since I understand why the league wants to keep some value attached to winning the division. However, maybe adopt the NBAs format? Maybe have it so the division winner is guaranteed a seed no lower than 4 or 5. This year, it looks like Nashville/Detroit and Philadelphia/Pittsburgh (or New York) will be first round matchups. Meaning that two top level teams will be knocked out in the first round. I know that this is unavoidable sometimes with the current playoff format, but still something to think about. And yes I know, this post should be taken with a grain of salt coming from a bitter Flyers fan <_< .

So Bryz has some sort of fracture in his foot. AWESOME!!!

Key word is highlighted.

Infuriating game last night. Outshot them 38-15 and lost. I am pretty sure the Flyers only made 3 glaring mistakes all game, and each one wound up in the net. Just "one of those nights", however in this instance, it is probably going to cost us any chance of home ice in the first round. Hooray for likely being the 3rd best team in the conference and getting rewarded by playing the Penguins in round 1!!!

This is an awesome commercial. Hoping they make a similar one for the Flyers.

Are those yours?

I like him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3__p9j261g

Hypothetically.... Put Hasek on the teams Roy had, and vice versa. Same outcomes? With that in mind, how is it fair to judge individual NHL players based on championships won?

Using logic like this, you can spin any Player X to be better than any Player Y. Both guys played 15+ years in the NHL. Massive sample sizes. Certainly enough to eliminate any fluke factors, or factors like the stuff you're bringing up. Raw numbers should be enough to go on with a sample size like this, and I think it's pretty clear Hasek has the edge. But if you prefer Roy, as ECN said, that is fine. You are clearly not alone, I will just choose to disagree 100%. Also maybe I am missing something, but Hasek's postseason numbers are pretty dominant.

Meant to say 19 year old hitters ^_^ That show "Clubhouse Confidential" on MLB Network actually did an entire segment on it. Very interesting stuff. There actually was one 19 year old that had an above average season, but honestly I can't even remember who it was because it was so random.

Trollolololol

Playoff spot clinched. Penguins lose, Rangers almost lose. Had the potential to be a very productive night, but I will take it regardless.

This Flyers fan would fully support a Maple Leaf win tonight .

Tommy John for Ryan Madson. Absolutely awful for him. He was set up to make bank next winter.
