Thread: HBO 24/7 Simmonds talks of the trade

Wayne is playing on a first place team, getting a lot of PP time and may well crack the 20 goal barrier this season. What's not to like in Philly for Wayne Simmonds?

And he's gonna learn all about the Universe from Bryz!

There is an odd connection between loud and "good". You could make a connection between loud and stupid just as easily.

I was almost sure the dude was high.

Oh yeah, and I'd go gay for Henrik Lundqvist.

you basically said everything that was in my brain. except, i'm a lady so no need for me to go gay for hank.
(i was just saying to my husband how funny it was that they showed all the players' "battle wounds" in the beginning and then it ends on lundqvist's flawless face. ha.)

I can't claim to be able to articulate my feelings about the universe any clearer than that. Seriously, it's humongous big.

I think I remember Jim Fox mentioning on a broadcast a season or two ago that Bryzgalov prefers to read Plato, Aristotle, or some of the pre-Socratics on road trips, which, from my best estimation, is certainly unique for a professional athlete.

I have to laugh - Simmonds makes this comment and everyone is like 'awww'. Smyth makes the same comment and everyone wants to torch the guy.

Both of them are gone, in different scenarios but they both said the same exact thing. They both said LA sucks. I just think its funny that when one says it, its okay but when another says it, he must die. And both were pretty much fan favorites here even in the middle of their worst streaks.

No better show on TV

This is just amazing television. I've always loved Bryzgalov but this is just making me love him more. Can't stop saying "TOO OLD? TOO SKEEEELED?" to everyone already.

I'm very happy for Simmonds too. He seems to love it there and I'm really happy it worked out for both teams. I'm ridiculously happy we have Mike Richards so this trade was just a win/win for everyone.

Anyone who laughs and has that sense of humor is alright by me. He seems to be a real fun person.
