You should be happy. Makes the decision to get a ps4 that much easier.

Philadelphia may look like it's fucking itself in the short run, but clearly we're setting ourselves up for future Pit/Edm style draft tanking.
Ugh. Everything is the worst. Forever.

What the Flyers need is for Snider to stop meddling with the team and to get a management team that knows what the fuck they are doing.
Until then, all we're going to have is false hope.
And I swear to Odin, if they do a Pissburgh style tank, I would be furious.

Philly just need solid non-injury prone defense and a real goalie plus a coach who knows what he is doing.
Yup. Anyone else in a mood for some Ovaltine?
vegemite anyone?????????
Ovaltine?
A Crummy commercial?!
This is what happens when the Flyers do something stupid!!

It wouldn't be an off-season if the Flyers didn't!

Streit makes the team better not worse, and lowers the chance Couturier gets traded for Yandle, which is also good. The 4th year sucks, but that's the market reality for offensive defensemen.
Not comparing them, just pointing out how expensive Letang will be when he can point to older and inferior defensemen like Streit, Gonchar and Wideman making $5m or more. Him and Subban are in line for huge raises.

Hello.
This is true.
I just wanted someone younger, though I knew there was no way in hell they would get Pietrangelo or ShatnerKirk or any other young RFA Defenseman without giving up a hefty amount.

And? They both deserve it. They are both young and will be huge assets to teams for years to come. Mark Streit is 35 and rapidly declining. Everybody gets overpaid in free agency, but that doesn't make it right. Trust me, I know.
Yeah, I've lost count of the many overpaid FAs the Rangers picked up.

We can smell our own. Luckily for us they haven't done that too much recently. Flyers recent history? YIKES.

I agree with you, but it's a classic bad Holmgren contract. I'd be more accepting if there was no LNTC--could try to move him to a cup contender more easily after 2 years when the cap's risen. To be fair, at least it isn't a full NTC.
It clearly makes us better now, and we only lost the 4th for him, but the contract's going to hurt with resigning more important younger players over the next four years.
It also effectively cements the upcoming year at Timonen's last. While his exit is inevitable, it depresses me.
so is this just a citywide thing that Philly either don't know there is a cap or don't care?

I have no idea on Richards. Prior to the end of the season I'd say yes. After everything that's happened after I don't know. Could get a stay of execution.

If anyone'll take him, Mez'll likely be gone by the fall, so that's another 4 mil. Gus deserves a regular spot now.
Assuming Bryz leaves, I'd rather see the cap space go to another goaltender than bringing in Richards. Halak might be worth the health risk to tandem with Mason. Could also see them throwing a 2nd for Bernier. Aside from Stolarz, it's tradition to lose our 2nd anyway. I'm not sure Read'll fit after this next year, but I really don't want to see him go either.

I wouldn't have had a problem if the Streit contract was only 2 years instead of 4.

That won't be enough
I think he meant Read and a 2nd for Bernier.

Yeah. Read and 2nd is an overpayment, but could see them doing it...because FlyersOffseason.

hate that Streit will be playing for the hated Flyers, but I love that they're paying him such an absurd amount of money and paying him until he's 40.
It's practically a eunuch now.
I'm currently downloading Yeezus. This shit better be good.
It's fucking great.

Apparently Canucks are in on the Corban Knight sweepstakes.
I'D RATHER BE A DICK THAN A SWALLOWER.
I have Apple Care+ which covers 2 replacements over 2 years. 49$ a replacement for the phone.
So break it completely and for 50$ get a new one.
BroAppleCareFist.
Just drop your phone hard and get a replacement (or, just walk in and get a replacement anyway).
its not through an Apple store though, Kelowna doesn't have a real Apple store.
Its a Telus location
I think Read for Bernier straight up is fair but apparently a bunch of teams have made offers to LA for him.
Technically he won't turn 40 till six months after the contract ends.

My 2nd gen iPod Touch actually held up pretty well, and the only reason I went with a new iPod Touch (5th gen) is because I broke the headphone jack.
I'm having two issues with my iPhone: the bottom of the screen stops responding, and it appears to be draining my battery faster than I think it should. I've taken it to the Apple Store, and they told me to reset it. I might have to come back the moment I return from my trip to get it looked at again.

I'd say they are very well built. They're toast just like any other smartphone if you drop them and they land the wrong way.
