I'll mull it over.

QuoteAsked Monday about Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock's decision to start him against the Sabres, Esche said, "I don't try getting in his head, that's for sure. It's an empty place."

Hitchcock grew red-faced when told of Esche's comment and could only come back with the reply, "Tit for tat."

The last time Esche faced the Sabres, he was standing in the runway behind the Flyers' bench holding a stick he splintered against a cinder block wall.

It was May 2 and Esche was seething after allowing five goals in what would become a humiliating 7-1 home-elimination loss in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

Esche needs to go. Now.

As any trade value he may have had plummets faster than my stock portfolio in 2001.

half the goals weren't even his fault, the team in front of him is just awful

Sometimes I farging hate rooting for these teams.

Bwahahaha Esche. Haha. What a joke. How long have I been saying he sucks?

Look, I know nothing about hockey except for this: the flyers have never had a goalie capable of taking them to the cup since prime hextall. they almost got lucky with boucher that one year, and esche a few years ago. but you farging need a goalie to stand on his head a few games to win the cup. flyers havent had that in a while. they dont have anything close to it on the roster now. sure they could get the 8 seed, but who really cares about hockey anyway?

I watched it in HD. It was like watching a funeral out there.

Jesus... the Flyers are horrendous.

Sgt PSN · October 18, 2006, 08:30:51 AM

I don't watch hockey, nor do I even know much about it. But I do know that giving up 9 goals is bad. Like really, really, really bad.

No flies on you, dude.

They should Hatcher on waivers. He sucks. And yes, I'm basing this on the one highlight I saw of him getting schooled in that Buffalo game.

let the orange bloodletting begin

FYI, according to HockeysFuture.com, which ranks NHL prospects, Picard is the top defenseman, Ruzicka is the top RW and Eager (who's been with the Flyers before) is the top LW...
