The Semi-Official Hockey Thread...
And they got the short end of the deal. Williams will be a great player some day. Of course, 3 long term injuries on defense hurts pretty bad. Not sure the Flyers could have survived with 2 AHL defensemen.
After watching last night's Canucks/Stars game, I just wanna puke!
Vancouver is my favorite team (obviously, they are my home team), but they are so hard to cheer for. They have got so much talent, and should be ranked first over all...but the only thing they are ranked first in, is the ability to choke! It seems like every game, they just dogf*ck, expecting an easy win. They get down one goal..."no problem". Down two or more..."okay we should rally within one". Then they just pour it one and scramble for the last two minutes. 50% of the time they will get that last minute goal and force overtime, but that still leaves their opponent with at least 1 point (hard to pull ahead in the standings when you do that). The other 50% of the time, they just end up losing (case in point last night)
Simply infuriating!!

Flyers going after Burke, possibly a done deal. No word on what they're giving up.
