I agree. Perhaps the Brian Burke/Randy Carlyle religion has found a disciple in the East. Hopefully that is the case. In any event, good for Ben Eager.

Is John Stevens there to stay? Has he signed a contract extension?

As far as I know he did, i am not 100% though. I think it was a 2 year extension? or did only holmgren get the extension?

I didn't mind him punking out against Gratts cos I didn't expect him to fight him anyway but did he not come out in the press after and start sayin that hes not justifying McGrattan's need for a fight every game or somethin? Basically implying he's a cement head, that pissed me off.

Other than that I like Eager, he brings a lot of hate and niggly **** that we need to keep hold of in the league.

he signed a 2 year contract extension early in the season that runs through
2007-2008. looks like homer is loading up for a two year run and if its not successful they will rebuild again in two years.

who could ever mistake mcgratten for a "cement head"?

Very good news. He's one of the most entertaining players in the league, and if the Flyers dress a heavy along with him they could be one of the more exciting teams next year.
