A Biron sighting and a goal from Knuble in the same night? My brain is assploded.

Watching Malkin and Crosby fall apart at the end was a little strange. I thought that only happened to Philly athletes.

IGY, stay home you jinxing motherfarger.

not that i dont think biron could have a bad game but really its not a worry for me at all...its all about fleury not winning a game again...or the flyers shteinting the bed again on offense....i can see them coming out sat and scoring one goal

i have game six tickets...i hope this win isnt just one big cruel joke to have me witness them get elimninated...i think ive been to the last three maybe four home elimination games
Think positive

i actually am...i really think they are going to win...im just saying i hope i dont get farged again...god there is nothing worse than being in person at an elimination game...having it be to the pens would magnify the pain

Reality:

Eagles trade down into the second round and pick a slow white receiver from Utah and the Flyers get beat 8-0.

FSN Pittsburgh had a lightning strike and was off the air for almost the entire second period. Amateur garbage, just like their announcing.

Was that the Freddie Mitchell year? When they got eliminated 8-0? I think there was a SIxers playoff loss that day too.

QuoteEx-Flyers prospect accused in ref murder

A Slovak newspaper yesterday reported that former Flyers prospect Ladislav Scurko had been arrested and accused of killing a referee last year.

The report said police in Kosice, Slovakia, say that Scurko, 23, was suspected of stabbing Marek Liptaj 14 times at a highway road house in January 2008. The corpse, buried in a forest, was discovered 11 months later.

The police didn't reveal motives for the crime, but said Scurko could face 15 to 20 years in prison.

Scurko, a center, was a sixth-round draft pick (170th overall) of the Flyers in 2004. He played in Slovak pro leagues the last two years, registering a total of seven goals in 84 games.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said the Flyers didn't sign Scurko and he had not been a member of the organization for a few years.

I think that was a fine symbolic gesture to his old peeps for the favoritism the league shows Crosby.

But what is that "could face 15 to 20 years in prison" for stabbing the ref 14 times and burying him in the woods? What do you have to do to get life or the death penalty there?

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 25, 2009, 07:13:01 AM

LOL - I was thinking the same thing. Maybe you have rape the person before stabbing and after stabbing. Then, dig up the corpse only to find out it's not there. Then, chase the zombie referee down, rape it again, and blow his head off with a high-powered firearm.

Then again, maybe offing the zombie for good would get a reduced sentence.

QB Eagles · April 25, 2009, 07:43:09 AM

The only countries in the world that use the death penalty are the USA, Japan, and a bunch of dictatorships and third-world hellholes. Slovakia wouldn't hand down the death penalty if someone tortured and killed 90% of the country. The cops might get a little rough during the arrest though.

Nothing - Slovakia doesn't have the death penalty.
