Last nights game was a microcosm of what this entire season has been all about. In my opinion, Hartnell, Gagne and Briere are all disposable because none of them play with any sort of heart. Its crazy to think that with the money spent on them we could have 5 solid forwards for them.

I think were going to be in some trouble. Honestly, I saw this coming a mile away. Granted Leighton has been playing great, I was never sold on Boucher as our back up and thank the lord for Leighton because he saved out season. I think it was a mistake letting both Biron and Niitty walk. The real problem occurred when Homer decided to give some of these idiots big contracts with no trade clauses. I can't wrap my head around the thought of not bringing in a solid goalie over the past summer. How can you not go out and at least make an offer for one of the free agents out there?!? It is mind blowing. Roman Cechmanke, Brian Boucher, Neil Little, Garth Snow, Robert Esche, Marty Biron, Antero Niittymaki, Sean Burke, Jeff Hackett, John Vanbiesbrouck..... Look at this list and tell me who is a proven number 1? Not one in my opinion. We haven't had a serious starter since Hextall. This needs to stop.

I think you could have seen Nodl play his last game in a Flyers uniform. Let the rumor mill begin to swirl because something needs to happen. Jeff Carter just skates around the ice with absolutely no purpose and I think Homer is getting upset with him. I think you could see either Hartnell or Carter go paired possibly with a guy like Nodl who just has no touch around the net even after the Flyers have been harping on him all summer long. It is a shame to see a team with so much talent waste it all. There was a rumor that Carter was nailing Hartnell's wife and I know for a fact that this is completely NOT TRUE. Evidently Hartnell and Briere are both in the middle of getting divorced and I have to think that this could be taking a toll on them both mentally and physically. It is time for a change though, the Flyers cannot afford to keep dropping if they want to find themselves in the playoff hunt. We could use a veteran scorer up front. Who knows what will happen.

John Grahame signed today by the Flyers and placed in Adirondack with the Phantoms.

Has anyone seen a nice pair of custom X:60's yet? I'd be interested what these skates look with custom options.

Myself, terrible picture. Play for Penn State ACHA D1 team. If you could not tell, since we are a HUGE Nike school, everything of mine is Nike, except for my skates and Harrow twig, but now I'm using a One95 with my own glorious pattern.

Its a skate and were asking for sketches? Please when it is time to see them, I am sure we will see them. How desperate could you be to see a pair of hockey skates that customers will most likely buy for their kids or for themselves and then worry about what pair is coming out next. Patience is a virtue.

Saw someone mention this before but the Trilage triangular hockey stick. That was a big gimmick that never really hit but if I'm not mistaken, don't they still make one pieces?

This may sound like a weird question but do you guys play wooden bat or composite? We play wooden since all of my friends are big baseball players and they crank the ball using wooden bats so I wouldn't even want to know what they could do with one of those light slow pitch Easton Stealth softball bats. We play on a regular high school baseball field and its pretty hard to hit a homer with a wooden bat on one of these fields if your like me. But then again for my friends, its nothing for them to hit the ball some 400 feet.

Play with my boys all the time. We tried getting in a league this year but we just end up having 20 or so people (coed) come out and we split it into two teams and play during the spring and through out the summer. I have a blast and there is nothing I would rather do on a 65 degree night then drink some brew, pack a dip and hang out playing softball. Makes me want this shitty weather to end so I can hit the diamond already.

Funny how they are hyping this new runner up but you see Joe Thorton with some Tuuk+'s on his U+'s....I like the style of the boot though, hopefully the width will be alright for me.

Opening faceoff for some high school senior tournament hosted by Durham Hockey Institute which is headed up by Keith Primeau. I'm on the right (most of you could have probably guess with my skates, which I just bought and I have not had time yet to put tuuk's on yet). I have no idea who the other kid is but Keith is absolutly gigantic and Jim Dowd (Philadelphia Flyers) is absolutly the nicest guy around. Uniform is looking like a complete gongshow because they have us socks and jerseys and told us to wear our high school pants, gloves and helmets. I just so happen to wear all black gloves me my high school team and our colors are navy blue and red. I look like I mess. Go ahead and say it.

If your talkin about the greater pittsburgh region NA, I don't think that is. Actually it is, those pictures are from the State Championship game.

Kid was one of the funniest kids to play with. No not the prettiest of strides his feet would move four times before his body went anywhere.

His name was Ryan McCarthy, short little guy but a spark plug of a player, great wheels. Yeah here high school is not very good but its fun to play, I wish high school here was as highly respected.
