    The Flyers must really be clueless. They not only think that he is good enough to play D-1 hockey but should be able to play in the NHL someday! Weird.

        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.

          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 !!!!

Clearly a talented player, but young and still acclimating to D1 Hockey and the demands of college at a school where student athlete means something. 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.

                Here is an article from CHN that was published yesterday, interesting how PC has been able to balance the talent/experience mix better than most.

                  For drafting O'Brien, or not doing enough at the NHL level to keep the team competitive and improving?

                    Ok, 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?

                      I mentioned before this deal is only good for Zlax. For all his complaining about PC I want to know if he's just a cowardly keyboard warrior or he'd actually heckle JOB at a live game.

                      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.

                            Jankowski had 18 points in 34 games as a freshman for 0.52 points per game while JoB has five points in 21 games for .23 points per game.

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.
                              No 19 year old kid deserves to be crapped on like this. Get a life! Someone should beat the snot out of you for the way you talk about KIDS. That's what they are. Hoping the fanbase of the school my son is going 2 seasons from now doesn't include anyone like you. Kind of sad you enjoy ripping on kids like this

                                Should be noted this answer was from a Lowell fan who had your mo pegged exactly 3 months before the season even began
