Ugggh, it has to be to THEM?!?!?!?!!?!?
Anyway, as has been said, I hate the Flyers, but the penalty kill was horrendous. Taking penalties and stooping to the Flyers level was Icing on the cake (Although one bright spot is, the Flyers suffered their biggest butt kicking in playoff history against us this series.)

Anyway, here is our free agency list for 2012 along with my opinions
Steve MacIntyre--Signed
Casey Pierro-Zabotel--jury is out
Steve Sullivan--Won't be surprised if gone
Eric Tangradi--Doesn't seem to be high on their thoughts. Won't be stunned if he is gone.
Ryan Craig--jury is out
Cal O'Reilly--Might give him more time. He was a later pick up for the Penguins.
Kevin Vellieux--Not sure
Arron Asham--GOOD BYE! He has some of the biggest discipline problems on this team (not to say the likes of Cooke was anymore innocent before fixing his image nicely)
Colin McDonald--Not sure
Richard Park--Gone by retirement
Jason Williams--Not sure
Robert Bortuzzo--Signed to WBS
Alex Grant--Signed to WBS
Matt Niskanen--They seemed to miss him for the most part while he was out, I'd say resign although defensemen HAS to be a point of emphasis in the offseason although I could see Despres starting the year in Pittsburgh.
Alexandre Picard--Not sure
Carl Sneep--Want to see what he does in the playoffs at WBS first
Brian Strait--Seemed to make a smooth transition. I'd like to see him play a full season if possible, re-sign.
Boris Valabik--Not sure
Brent Johnson--GONE unless no better options show up in FA or in the system.
Mattias Modig--Signed for WBS depth
Scott Munroe--Signed for WBS depth
Brad Thiessen--Signed either for WBS depth as Fleury's back up (Even though he did have a flat out BAD game against Ottawa, but it's not fair to call that his true talent.)

Anyone for a homecoming of the USS Hal Gill? It would beat the crap out of seeing Paul Martin.
