I'm of two minds with this team: We either finally beat UMASS and BC and take out UCONN and BU in the bargain.
Or we lose or tie the last four games.
No idea what to expect in the playoffs.Last edited by Jon; 02-19-2019, 04:58 PM.

I can't understand why all those posting on this thread can't seem to appreciate the wisdom we get daily from Xlax, he obviously knows more about the game than the entire Flyer brain trust and his knowledge of proper coaching exceeds most college coaches.....and he is willing to share that with all of us for free, what a wonderful world we live in !!!!

Originally posted by BlackI View PostOk, this deal seems too good to be true. Free beer and I get to trash Friars. What's next? You will point me in the direction of Jon's car and equip me with a tool kit?
To answer your other question... I'll provide a tool kit but I can't guarantee it would be Jon's car. Maybe dismantle the UMass team bus to make them walk it back home. Then I'd buy you a beer.Living somewhere between North and South.

Would not be a good idea to give up on him, remember how Jankowski developed into a key component of our National Championship team, stayed to graduation and is now a key component of the Calgary Flames.

Originally posted by The Zlax45 View PostDoes the kid deserve it? Absolutely! First round pick who plays a soft game, has the puck taken off his stick, hasn’t shot well, and can’t pass. Tell me one thing he does well? Out of all the forwards this year that play regularly, he has been the least successful. If he wasn’t selected in the first round, you would be wondering why he is playing.
