Apparently that rumour is totally false, Carter and Hartnell both insist it’s the product of one person talking shit on his blog.

If I woke up one day and found myself married to Scott Hartnell, I wouldn’t be “shopping around,” I’d be running for the hills.

Is it me or is Hartnell wearing a shirt designed for a chick in the other photo from that linked Deadspin article? (A pair of “dreamcatchers” positioned rather deliberately). Just saying… maybe there’s a reason his wife is shopping around.

I always sort of liked Briere, but then I saw him drag David Krejci the ENTIRE length of the ice by his stick (looked like a damn sled dog) and then try to fight him afterward (almost funny for the “WTF?” look on Krejci’s face), and decided he’s just as much an ass as the rest of the Flyers. It’s hilarious how all the pundits talked about how great Pronger was going to make them. Yeah, right.

Yeah Bourne, let us know how that goes, I’m really curious.

I was watching an exhibition between the Canadian and U.S. women’s national teams the other day, the skill was definitely there but how BRUTAL is it that they can’t hit each other? Your 14-year-old, pre-pubescent sons are apparently fine getting railed by kids in their class that shave, but a 27-year-old woman who could skate circles around all of them can’t hit because she’s…. I dunno, because she’s what? All game I had to watch players come in for a perfect check, only to slow up at the last second. Not surprisingly, no one is afraid to hold on to the puck for hours too long and the pace never gets out of second gear. Let em hit!

Oh man…full contact! Am quite curious to hear how that plays out. Please share.

I have been rooting around for a full-contact adult game in the NYC metro area with no success. Like looking for Fight Club.

“…guys have to get up in the morning and go to work” is the most common refrain.

Somewhat ridiculous that no rink would let consenting adults play real hockey.

Any opinion from you on this? Contact in rec-league hockey for players who want that?

Wow – hard to be a Flyers fan around here, isn’t it?

I was just kidding about getting it deep but Thompson has been pretty decent for an energy shift or just wearing down the other team. I feel bad for him because now it’s frontpage on digg.com, the non-sports world is getting a laugh in too. Lundqvist swatting at him and the defender coming over made him shit his pants and choke at the worst time ever. I agree it would have completley changed the momentum of the game, too.
