[SunMo]

I have a relative that we'll just call Mom

funny shtein

that's cool, i wasn't bashing or anything, just wondering.

[Philly_Crew]

not that i don't believe you, it's not that, but how does someone who's been in the navy and been out in San Diego have insiders at the Wac center?

His great oral skills that he acquired in the Navy?

[ice grillin you]

why the farg would they get another plodding defensman....hes a more physical rathje

[SunMo]

wtf

[ice grillin you]

ive been the biggest bobby clarke supporter...even thru his roughest times...but he needs to go now...his prehistoric way of evaluating players is disgraceful


im assuming gauthier will replace therian as the last/extra defensman because there is no way you can have him rathje and hatcher in the same line up

[SunMo]

Robert Clarke hates speed

[SD_Eagle5]

We just acquirred Rathje part deux.

the thing is, his last trade deadline moves were actually pretty good, when he got Markov and Zhamnov.  but he's reverting back to his old ways if this is his solution to their defensive problems

[SD_Eagle5]

FWIW we outbid the Rangers for him.

Flyers outbid Rangers for Gauthier.
The Flyers outbid the Rangers for Coyotes defenseman Denis Gauthier.

Sources say the Coyotes wanted prospect Ivan Baranka and a second round pick.

Scouting report:

Scouting Report
Assets:
Has great size. Loves to play an intimidating brand of defense and land big hits in open ice. Is a great team player and popular man in the dressing room.

Flaws:
His rugged style has made him extremely prone to injury. Has a limited offensive game at the NHL level.

Career potential:
Physical defenseman.

Definitely fits the Clarke model for oft injured slow defenseman.
