"My Scrubs Post"

So, Scrubs seems to be at a cross roads. Zack Braff is not sure if he wants to come back for season 7, and its at the point that the creators say they will not do a 7th season withouth him. NBC has told Scrubs to not film a final epsiode. Which makes me worried, because NBC at the saem time has not said they will be back for a season 7. Their are rumors that ABC might pick up Scrubs next year, the reason is that ABC is owned by Disney, who also owns touchtone which makes Scrubs. This is why Scrubs is not shown in HD, because touchtone doens't want to spend the money on it. Season 6, has not been that bad, but it is really starting to show signs of rot. Yeah the musical episode was a hoot, and the Iraq epsiode was pretty intresting, but story arch wise they are starting to tread water, and the one they are doing this season will have to end soon. Tonight, however what they did there was no excuse for. They did a clip show, which is basically highlights of the entire series, funny, romantic and sad linked by about 5 mins of new footage. In the era of tv shows on DVDs, there should be some kind of law against shows like this. I laughed when JD pretty much told the viewers tonights epsiode was going to be lame (The Simpsons do the same inside joke each clip show). Someone is supposed to die this season on SCrubs, but I am starting to think the show did tonight. I hope it bounces back next week, and as sad it is to say, I think its time to retire the show. I would hate for it to be on occassionally like King of Queens was this year, or have the show burned off in the summer with new shows like Drew Carey was a few years ago. NBC has a history jerking Scrubs around, so maybe the creators and cast should just play it safe and give fans a good send off this May. The season isnt awful, but I don't think they have enough jokes or ideas to fill a 7th season. Might be time to pull the plug.

"Life Sabre"

During the crazy day that is the NHL trade dead line that saw Ryan Smyth become and Ilsander, it was the worst team in the NHL that surprised a lot of people.





The Flyers dealt a 2nd round draft pick for Martin Biron who was the Sabres #1 goalie for quite sometime. He lost his job last season to Ryan Miller. Not, so much that Biron is bad, but Miller is awesome.





This is a fairly big gamble for the Philadelphia Flyers simply because Biron can walk as of July 1st. However, the front office for the orange and black seems to be confident he will be happy to come back and build something here next season.





They are counting on him being happy being the #1 goalie again, and hope he likes the area enough to want to unpack his bags and stay for awhile. I can imagine they will be pitching stuff to him the minute he meets up with the team.





Basically, I guess its bold move, since the wanted to sign him anyway and gave up nothing but money for him come July. But, again I think they are rolling the dice in order to keep him here. I would not at all be surprised if they sign him in the next few weeks to a longer term deal.





We picked up tons of young talent, now its time to get some proven players. I like Biron, and honestly from what I understand he is likely the best goalie that would be out there come July, and I am confident he will stay a Flyer.





The Flyers need to make a run for one or two quick veteran forwards. Many of these young guys aren't really ready to carry the load and would be better off as Phantoms.

"Deadline"

Kyle Calder, Alexi Zhitnik, Nolan Baumgartner and Peter Forsberg might not be the only ones leaving Philly. The trade deadline is this Tuesday afternoon. Others expected to be delt include Geoff Sanderson, Robert Esche and maybe Hatcher.

The Flyers are just getting a bunch of unproven youngerster and draft picks for their talent. Calder might have been one of the worst trades in the history of the Flyers, maybe in the NHL. He was awful.

Most the players that the Flyers have gotten in trades will not have any impact really for 2 or 3 years if at all. The thing with the "prospects" trades in hockey is that they pan out maybe 40 perecent of the time. The draft picks are good to have, but the Flyers really need to start drafting better.

All, eyes will be on the firesale in Philly tomorrow. I can only hope they plan on getting some quality free agents next summer. God, knows they will have plenty of cap room.
