2006-07 Flyers Season Thread

Nope - IGY's right.  The only chance they have is to sneak into the playoffs as a low seed at best.

Those guys never make the Finals.  Well, except the Oilers last year.

Buffalo takes out the #8 seed in 5 games.

Carolina is the current eight seed and they're also winless against the Sabres this year, so you're probably right.

Of course, they're the defending Cup Champions too, so you never know.

BTW: The Finalists from last year have an outside shot of completely missing the playoffs the next year.  Weird.

I'd just like to add Jack Johnson is going to play for the Kings next year.  FF i hope to god you make fun of Canes fans everyday for that trade 

[BigEd76]

Pinocchio is reporting that Biron is close to a 2-yr $6.8M extension.... 

[Geowhizzer]

Without major additions, and perhaps an insane amount of luck, I don't see the Flyers making the playoffs next year.

John Stevens is still the coach.

THEY HAVE THE WORST RECORD IN THE NHL.

This rebuilding phase isn't going to be a one-year deal.  They'll be ready in two, or three.

They will be improved.  They won't be that improved.

I want to be wrong.  I don't think I am.

^^^^^
on point (thi im not ready to kill stevens)

when you are last in the whole league you dont go to the stanley cup the next year...you try to make the make playoffs and maybe even win a round


im assuming the insane amount of luck you speak of is what i said in regards to every single young play magically developing and doing so in the next 12 months

[SD_Eagle5]

The pieces are in place, if they can add a good forward and good defenseman they should be able to make the playoffs next season.

No ones saying they'll be cup contenders, just that this team isn't all that much worse than the team that made the playoffs two seasons ago.

[Rome]

Who's ready for some orange kool-aid?

[rjs246]

This might be the most retarded conversation ever. Is someone actually arguing that the Flyers could contend for the cup next year? What the farg?

[SD_Eagle5]

Someone mentioned playoffs, igy took that as cup contenders, the rest is history.

[Rome]

I'm arguing they could contend for the CONFERENCE next year and that's only if they get the guys I initially posted about when this whole conversation started.

What these other guys are ranting about, I have no idea.

As usual, I'm enjoying getting IGY all riled up, though, so quit spoiling it you miserable motherfarger.

rly?...romey said multiple times they could win the east NEXT year

and i dont know where you come from but in my country winning the east = cup contender

[SD_Eagle5]

Well...romey did say contend for the East which is different from saying win the East. I'd say its more likely they'll contend for the Atlantic with improved play from their youngsters, a true #1 goalie, and a couple decent free agent signings.

[Seabiscuit36]

Did anyone see Carolina showing up like they did last year?  How bout Tampa Bay in 2004.  Sometimes its just the right mesh of players with lots of luck and little injuries.
