As hard as these losses are to take, it is far better for the long run....as long as we can get one of those top 5 picks in this years draft, that is key.....and perhaps make a run at Rantenan also.....

This must be incredible advertising for Toyota. I’m happy every time they tell me there are only 4 minutes left in a Period.

Neat!

I might actually use OneDrive if they sponsored the Flyers.

only problem with taking a run at him is..he is 28 and you are gonna get the authentics even more "pumped up" thinking they are closer than they are

Yeah...that is an issue...perhaps get him on a 6 year contract if possible and with the cap going up we can make it work...

Starting to think they just might refuse to report here due to Torts.

They were in the building at the game.

Caps broadcast: "The Caps only have 12 shots in the last 40-(whatever) minutes... they have four goals"

Other than the McMichael goal, where he left space up top, Fedotov was pretty much left out to dry on the Caps' goals.

Lindgren's numbers weren't great either but he came up huge on some high danger scoring chances - including the Foerster bid at the end.

About what you'd expect in a game with two backup goalies.

Abols with a beautiful pass, @ellja3!

Shut up, JJ. You always have a mouthful.

That goatee had to go 20 years ago..

Ask yourself why Rantanen would sign a 6 year deal to play for the Flyers? If he goes to free agency, he is going to get paid. Why would he choose the Flyers and for 6 years, not 7?

7 years at $15 million?

Reading posts re: how Ābols is good at communicating the coach messages to Michkov as he speaks fluently both English and Russian. This is intangible I can get behind, not the Deslauriers-type ''CULTURE'' bs

Perfect game

That would put him on the same old age projection as TK and Couturier. Their philosophy is to have an extremely overpaid and old core in 5 years.....

Does he also translate Dickhead, cause that's the language Torts speaks in 90% of the time.

I already said he speaks Russian, so yes.

As someone said to one of my posts earlier....


ZING!!!!!

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Maybe Abols listens to TORTS and translates the opposite to Michkov.

 

[ellja3]

Maybe Abols listens to TORTS and translates the opposite to Michkov.

He certainly has very high hockey IQ, so that would not be surprising.

Bold strategy!

I attribute most of his safes to the lack of skills on the Flyers side (granted, Foerester did not have much room or time to react).

In Russian from Abols: "Torts says try the lacrosse, goalie catches right"
