Notes"It was a about four or five minutes before we went back out onto the ice,” said Laviolette, who knows a little something about great inspirational speeches. “He stood up while everybody was preparing themselves to go out, and he let it rip a little bit. I thought it was good. I was inspired. I wanted to go out, but I’m a little too old and too heavy. I wouldn’t have minded grabbing my skates and digging in to help. I thought it was a good move by Danny."Coach Laviolette on Danny Briere’s inspirational speech before the 3rd Period of Game 6 in Buffalo.

Site Info
So, as I said when I started this tumblr:
I will update it as frequently as I can, whic, honestly, will be farely regularly for about a week or so, and then all of the suddent not. I’m gonna need some help. In fact, this blog will work much better if lots of people get in on it. If you want to submit anthing to the tumblog or join the team, be my guest.
Well, I was right. The site’s been stale, at best, for months now, which is kind of a shame. I’m currently contributing to four other blogs at the moment and have no time left to keep this one current and fresh. So, if there is anyone out there who wants to become a Contributor/Member of this tumblr, just say so here.

Notes Seven Stealth Impact People: John Chapman, Philadelphia Flyers scoutBack in the days before the salary cap, Chapman was a Wite-Out for general manager Bob Clarke, practically guaranteeing that some promising kid would be in the pipeline whenever the Flyers lurched off the rails. Like David Conte in New Jersey and Tim Burke in San Jose, Chapman was considered a master at identifying young talent. (He was a big part of the 2003 Jeff Carter - Mike Richards draft that remains the cornerstone of the organization. The first six players the Flyers selected that June have played in the NHL.)
For the past four seasons, Chapman, a successful junior coach in Lethbridge in the 1980s, has been working as a pro scout for Philadelphia. If you do know his name, you might have heard about it not because of his scouting acumen, but for his old-fashioned heroism. He jumped into a lake to save a drowning two-month-old girl and her mother last April, a tale that got big play in Canada. Sometimes Stealth Listers make the game better. Sometimes they make the world better.

Notes Bucci’s Power 5 (Nov 17): Flyers @ 2“This is a different kind of power rankings. I am looking to rank the top five teams in the NHL based on their chances to win multiple seven-game series. You know, the real contenders for a Cup. Teams “won’t make Bucci’s Power 5 unless I could see them beating at least 25 other teams in a seven-game playoff series.” -John Buccigross
- San Jose Sharks
- Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers have gone with Ray Emery in every game but one. (They lost that game 4-1 to San Jose.) They have beaten New Jersey twice. I am really curious to see how they play the rest of the month. Six of their next seven are on the road with few days off and lots of plane rides. It will be interesting to see whether they can win the close, low-scoring games when they are a little tired or a little off. - Calgary Flames
- Pittsburgh Penguins
- New Jersey Devils
Going six for their last seven, including some blow-out wins, you had to expect Philly to jump out of the bottom slot in Bucci’s Power 5 and boy have they…
