What were they supposed to give him? He wasn't that good.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

a pat on the back?

a hearty handshake?

an "atta boy"?

from Philly.com
QuoteIn a move to add depth at goalie, the Flyers yesterday claimed Michael Leighton off waivers from the Nashville Predators for $63,750.

"We've risked ourselves for part of the year with both Antero Niittymaki and Robert Esche being hurt," general manager Paul Holmgren said. "We've had to go with a backup kid [Martin Houle] who wasn't really ready for the NHL. Michael helps in that regard. It's an insurance policy for us."

A butterfly-style goalie, Leighton will report to the Flyers today. By carrying three goalies, the Flyers open themselves up to the possibility of trading Esche or allowing Niittymaki to have surgery on his ailing left hip. It is more likely that a trade is coming.

Flyers are playing on NBC.  The past 5 minutes have been the best hockey all year for the flyers.

Hockey on TV is terrible. Why do they even try?

I tuned in for the wrong five minutes, apparently.

Youtube VideoWhat was a good series of the Pittsburgh game.  Picard lays out Colby Armstrong.  Armstrong Charges Carter(doesnt get called) Carter knocks armstrong over(gets called)  Forsberg calls out Armstrong in front of the whole Pittsburgh team then nearly gives talbot a concussion

Seems to me everyone is off the bandwagon. What happened to all those "die hard" hockey lovers? Come on, kids. Come on out.

Care to wager on that SD?

I wrote this in the offseason thread after I saw them get destroyed in a pre-season game:
QuoteI 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.

So yeah, I'll stick to my guns. Pick your poison, be it cash or something else. This team ain't making the playoffs.

I win

I watched the third period tonight.  Just enough to prove, once again, that this team sucks.
