Flyers 2006 Offseason Thread

[Geowhizzer]

That would be great news for the Flyers- at least until the next groin strain.

[SunMo]

i think they're saying that fixing this problem will eliminate his groin problems

[ice grillin you]

or until december when they realize he really cant play and did need a second ankle surgery and is out for the remainder of his contract

That was my first thought when I read the story.

Quit screwing around and get it done already.

doesn't anyone here know surgical connections???   the ankle bone is connected to the groin bone, the groin bone is connected to the brain bone......Now I know why my penis does my thinking.

A sub-plot from ESPN's Forsberg article:

McCrossin also said Flyers captain Keith Primeau, who missed nearly all of last season because of lingering symptoms from a concussion, had symptoms reappear, possibly because of a virus.

The trainer said Primeau had been working out regularly before complaining of pressure inside his head.

I wish he'd just retire.

On another board, one of the reliable posters says the Flyers are offering a Scouts postion to Primeau as an opening to his eventual coaching career.

i wish he would've done it before the offseason started so they could've actually signed somebody

It will free up roughly 3.4 mil this year, which would give them more leverage w/Gagne and Joni.  Plus in resigning Foppa next year.

Yes, if he'd just do it already.

forsberg was on wip a while ago

--says he loved playing in philly but wouldnt say he wanted to or will resign after this year
--that its a better sports and hockey town than denver
--fans are passionate and that puts a lot of extra presure on you but he loves it
--if they get booed its because they deserve it
--flyers fans are the most knowledgeable hes ever come across
--he will still miss the start of the year but "5-10 games is better than 35-40"

So the Western Conference games went from visiting the Central 5 and hosting the Northwest 5 this past season to hosting the Central 5 and visiting the Pacific 5 this year.  That means the 07-08 schedule will have the Flyers hosting the Pacific 5 and visiting the Northwest 5.  It also means that we don't have to play Colorado, Minnesota, Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver this year, which is a nice break.  Also notice that they still go away during the holiday week and early part of January.  Was this the last year of that Disney on Ice deal?

[SunMo]

Wayne Flemming was hired as an assistant in Calgary.  I thought he quit the Flyers so he could go coach in Europe?

[SunMo]

Joni re-signed to a one year deal
