The Most Embarrassing End To A Shootout Ever

Presented without comment.



LOLDEVILS! Enjoy last place, an aging Marty, and that ridiculously long contract, New Jersey.........

Your Philadelphia "What The Fuck" Moment Du Jour?

How? Why? The Flyers have practically no cap room, and in order to make room, they would have to likely trade Gagne and Carter just to clear cap space. The problem with this is Gagne and Carter can play defense. Granted Kovalchuk can skate through a defense like no one else out there, but he is terrible defensively. He is an asset just as much as he is a liability and for the Flyers to trade away 2 very solid 2-way forwards for just to clear the cap space to sign Ilya Kovalchuk would be absolute madness. This is a guy who wants mega millions over mega years. Just last night it was reported the Islanders would be willing to give sign him for 10 years at 10 million dollars per year. One. Hundred. Million. Dollars. That is the money Kovalchuk commands. Why would the Flyers want to do this? Why? Why? Why?

The Winner Of The Ilya Kovalchuk Sweepstakes Is.......

............The New Jersey Devils.

I'm in hockey hell right about now. Unless they just gave up Parise for Kovy. Then this would be awesome.

The price for Kovy: Oduya, Bergfors, Cormier and a 1st round pick. The Devils also get Anssi Salmela from Atlanta and the teams will swap 2nd round picks in the upcoming draft.

Here's hoping that Jacques Lemaire has problems fitting in a great offensive star like Kovy into his defensive first system in New Jersey.
