no, i just hate arrogant assholes such as yourself. The reason i brought up the fact of the spelling of the word "defense" is that I'm tired of the lack of intelligence in the room. The grammar and spelling in this room is astonishing.
My point was not to rip you and find every mistake possible in your post (as was yours), but rather to show that although you feel like you are far superior to everyone in literature and get off on ripping people, you are really not all that good. I'm not saying that I'm going to be a lit major, hell, my field barely requires me to be able to write past my first year in college, but i sure as hell know when something sounds or looks bad, and i fix it, or at least if i am not sure of the spelling, i'll either look it up, or put (sp?).
Now as to the flyers stereotype, we live by that. We live to be dicks, but dicks ***** assholes, and if it weren't for dicks, the assholes would shit all over the pussies (which is you by the way).
See, if you never came in with an arogant attitude, I am sure we could have carried on a quite intelligent conversation, but you remind me of a kid i know, he knows he is smarter then most, but wants to make sure everyone and their family knows it.
Flyers for the playoffs!

sorry that was there offense playing good defense. there d lost game 5. young players out of position left henrik alone. also jagrs line should have not been out there but if they had a top 1-2 d pairing out there is would have been fine. this is just the first play i thought of, there were many more.

And finally you get the point, even if by mistake. This is a hockey site, focus on the hockey! It is quite amazing and certainly comical that the same criticism you try to give to me, is the one that applies to you from the start.

As to the mistakes, there are some but certainly not all that you tried to apply. If writers, and esteemed ones at that, had to preclude from ever starting a sentence with "And" or "Therefore," English literature would have been deprived of some real masterworks. For your information (or lack thereof), they can still be used to tie ideas and whole sentences at that. But more importantly, your claim to find a higher ratio still falls flat on your face, and I suspect you will hold that distinction for a long while.

In closing, you give a great reinforcement to the Flyers stereotype. Sign off with a few curses and insults and storm out without any essence in between. Rest assured you shall never receive further replies to anything from me, since your modus operandi is not exchange of ideas, but you feeling that you got the last word in an argument. A pity since you actually seemed to know something about hockey, but you are simply not worth the trouble.

Cheers Flyer.

There should only be a handful of games that Orr gets dressed for. It aggravates me that eveytime he does dress he gets 4 shifts in the 1st period, 2 in the 2nd and then sits for the 3rd. Its good to have a guy like that on your team but in the "New NHL" the goons have to be able to play a little.

Yes, I am no Rangers fan… and I "brain farted all over the place"…. I never said Hollweg was an enforcer I said he would drop the gloves, and I don't see Orr being used too much this season, there just isn't enough room on the roster.

I'm pretty much done listening to people get on the rangers back for defense. When if you watched the playoffs last year, did not miss a minute of a rangers game the problem was not defense. Not in the least the defense and goaltending was the strongest part of the team. The offense did not, and i repeat did not produce in the second round. They wasted too many opportunities on both the powerplay and even strength. So no the defense is not a problem on this team. Racunek will be missed back there, but he had to be let go there was no room for him. As soon as he started playing well he got hurt its too bad he really started to click and then he went down. The defense was a mainstay they played bend and not break style and it worked, they were out matched by a sabres team in almost every catagory yet could have won the series had their new 2nd line center not ended their season with that 7 seconds to go goal. The defense gelled and Lundqvist picked up his play making it one of the strongest defenses in the east. Yes, they didn't have Beauchmin, Niedermayer and Pronger back their but no team did but the Ducks. The rangers had plenty of opportunities to win against the sabres but their speed and offense doomed them in that series not the defense. Eventually with the Rosival injury and the speed wore down on the team and they couldn't keep up anymore. With the addition of Staal to the lineup should help sure that defense up and make it stronger.

As for your forward lines Betts should not be playing on the third line and if he somehow makes that line he won't be there long. Callahan and Prucha move fast on the ice they crash the net hard and attack the puck hard. Betts does not have the speed to play with them in the least. That line will most likely crash and burn. Cullen was perfect for that line and he should have stayed and they should have let hossa walk. So either Hossa will play on the top line and straka will be on the 3rd line giving them 3 strong line or a minor leaguer possibly Dubinsky but he didn't play well when he was here. It's too bad really because immonen would have fit that role pretty well as a set up center, but with Jaarko done it looks like Artem or Dubinski but in head up in the running, or one of your top line LWs droping down to play center.

Also side bar.... Hollweg isn't an enforcer at best and energy guy with out a mouth (Avery)... dont get me wrong i love Hollweg i think he brings a decent amount to the team. But to go as far to say he is the only one ready to drop the gloves is a joke. Are you even a Rangers fan? or did you just brain fart all over the place and forget about one of best enforcers in the league Orr. Orr came into his own as a fighter at the end of last year, yea hollweg can drop the gloves but rarely proves a point. No Orr isnt the best, and no he can't even hit as well as hollweg can, but he can fight 4 to 6 times better than anyone else of this team.

mistakes, and this is just from skimming:
First paragraph, "And especially with the two sentences..." You started the sentence with "and", a mistake that even kids in elementary school know to avoid.
You need not use parentheses when quoting someone, that is why you have quotation marks.
sub 1-you italicize the focus of your point, in this case, the xion in deflexion and as i said before, however is a transition word, you dont break prior to using it, it is used as a continuation of a thought/s.
"main rule is that whichever is chosen(,) you must continue with" lack of correct punctuation.
sub 2-have you not been taught to use varrying vocabulary, using "certainly" twice in a matter of a few words is redundant. once again, your lack of ability to use transition words correctly is absolutely hilarious. You obviously seem to know a lot about language, maybe you're a translator or an english teacher, but you lack the ability to write a clean paragraph.
Im not really going to waste my time to go on any further as I have made my point. If i really cared two shits, i would make sure that everything was typed correctly, but its a public hockey forum, not a college essay or anything else that i care about.
I have nothing against you, but you seem extremely arrogant when you typed this and then to criticize me is just bullshit, so ***** you, im out.

The Rangers may (or may not) have a good year this year….but look forward to troubles 3 or 4 years from now. Drury…i dont understand how you could pay him that much! He has a whole career of being just okay. He had a couple of decent years playing with the very gifted players on Buffalo…but seriously he has never even got 70 points. Way overpaid. In 4 years when he is 35 and getting 35 points…i hope u are still bragging about the signing! Gomez…ummmm, has he scored 20 goals…..oh yeah, once….same thing way overpaid. Defensive NJ….sure, but he has played with some great offensive players and has only had one really good year in his career….dont get me wrong, i like Gomez, but the guy should make about 4 million. I think the rangers signed these guys for toooooo much for tooo long. Just remember its a 50 mill cap this year, it could go down next year and nobody will take these two off your hands. These signings will ruin NYR for at least 6-8 years unless the cap climbs to 60 mill (not likely)!

So Drury or Gomez will be the 3rd line center? Unless there is a serious chemistry problem I don't think Dubinsky will play 2nd line center, the Rangers payed a lot of money for Drury and Gomez, they wont put them on the 3rd line.
