2008-09 Flyers Season Thread

[rjs246]

It was a good game to go to. Boston Bruins fans appear to be more tolerable (or at least knowledgeable) than Celtics/Pats fans.

Edit: Actually, they were still completely intolerable. But I was surprised by their knowledge of the sport and the league and in actuality they reminded me almost exactly of Philly fans.

sounded like their were a ton of flyer fans there...yes?

Yeah there were a lot. Vocal as shtein, of course.

[Munson]

Carter's wrist shot is just ridiculous. 1-0


Giroux is looking like he's gonna be good player for this team.

[BigEd76]

he just added a power play one too....3-0 in the 3rd, looking for their 12938923923rd win in a row vs Atlanta

SHOOT! nitty cent

[Munson]

Nitty has been much more in the zone than Biron as of late.

Do you make Nitty the #1 guy going forward until he gets cold again?

[Seabiscuit36]

I'd go with Niitty since he's younger, and has value in a trade.  Biron should not be back next year, i thought he was the answer, but he's just too slow side to side, and you can tell when he's going to give up a goal. 

[SD_Eagle5]

Nitty's been outplaying Biron as of late but come playoff time Biron will be the guy. This same thing happened last season and Biron had a very nice playoffs.

Wasn't so bad, just got back from having a few beers with Asham and Metropolit at Chickie and Petes. Saw Spadaro there with a few of his friends but didn't bother him. Signguy knows Holly Cote so we talked to her in the tunnel, sweet girl and she's hot as balls. Met some guy that writes for Todd at Temple. Interesting night.

espn did a mt rushmore for all nhl teams...heres the flyers...


Philadelphia Flyers

The team: Bill Barber, Bobby Clarke, Bernie Parent and Rick Tocchet.

The theory: Clarke, Barber and Parent are the locks on the Flyers. The fourth one was difficult. I suppose lots of Flyers fans would choose Tocchet. In games played, he's not in the top 10. I thought about Ron Hextall because he was a huge personality and combined great playoff success (at least for one season) with complete insanity. Watching athletes who could snap at any moment is compelling. Tocchet was Philadelphia's Cam Neely -- he combined goal scoring with a great ability to fight. I'm curious to see how Flyers fans will respond to this list.

[SD_Eagle5]

Lindros would have been a lock if he wasn't such a bitch. I would have went with Hextall since he's my all time favorite player but Tocchet's fine.

[QB Eagles]

Hextall should be the fourth and I don't think it's close. There are a few others who might be around the Tocchet level.

i woud have tocchets babys....hes my all time favorite athlete in any sport...his fight vs wendal clarke is an all time great philly sports moment
