I think we're all there with you. He's a bonafide scumbag and he's a danger to other players all game long. The league never disciplines him sufficiently.
I haven't been back to Maine since I was a kid but I loved it too. My cousin and his wife live in Portland, so I really need to get out there at some point. Nor'easters suck, but I could live with it.
Flyers look like they might be starting AHL call-up Alex Lyon tonight. http://www2.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/alex-lyon-flyers-buffalo-sabres-preview-phantoms-ahl-dave-hakstol-20181120.html https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/lyonal01.html
He's 4-2-1 in 7 NHL starts. .905 SV% and 2.75 GAA in 11 NHL games played.
It's tough to compare because 05-06 is the only comparable due to the fact that 04-05 never happened. This current team might be what 04-05 would have looked like if 04-05 had happened. The 05-06 team was pretty much good from day one but people remember them being a surprise because they were kinda asleep because of the year off for the lockout.
