Flyers 2006 Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

I want Nitty to get the surgery now, and not injure himself before teh playoffs

yeah because they need an experienced stanley cup winning goalie come playoff time?

John Buccigross (ESPN) has the Flyers missing the playoffs, the rest of ESPN has them as the #8 seed, and only 1 no-name writer has them winning the division.  wtf...

i know youre not a big hockey guy easy...but have you looked at their roster lately?

bad defense + sub par goaltending = borderline playoff team


just wait until next year when they dont have forsberg...gonna get really ugly then

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

wtf...

Why would you think otherwise?  They're not very good.

If what I saw Tuesday is any inclination to what they're gonna be like this season, its going to be a really long year. Clarke better have some tricks up his sleeve.

sd can you give me an in depth recap of the fights on tuesday...how they started who won ect...

i think they could finish anywhere from 5th to 10th in the conference depending of course on injuries and how much the youngins progress

they do have a great coach and arguably the best player in the nhl...thats coutns for a lot...but the defense scares the poopies outta me

[SD_Eagle5]

There were 3 fights, the best one being when Hatcher pummeled some guy. Can't remember who was in the other fight, but it was decent. I missed the 3rd one when I was in the bathroom. The Refs were going out of their way to stop fights before they happened which sucked because it was a preseason game and who cares.

I wouldn't be so down on them if they either had: A) A speedy defense capable of being effective in todays NHL or B) A good goalie.
For those two reasons alone, I can't see us finishing as anything other than a bottom seed or out of the playoffs altogether.

Gauthier received a knee to the head from Ovechkin as payback for a hit from tuesdays game.  Gauthier out now with a concussion, along with Lars Jonsson(high ankle sprain probably out 3-5 weeks), Rathje(back spasms).  Gagne received cortizone in his hip as treatment.  Nitty will be back tuesday for practice, but i'd rather he just get the surgery now. 

Clarke calld out players after the loss last night to teh caps leaving the flyers 1-5-1 this preseason.  They have been using an ahl lineup but the effort is what clarke is worried about.

please don't let this year be a repeat of last year!  as much as I liked the way the young guys played, it just wasn't the "real" Flyers team.
