2007 Flyers Offseason Thread

[mcnabbmvp]

first game against the Sens is

Sat. Nov 24th @ Ottawa 7:00 p.m. CW-57

[BigEd76]

its really a downie vs ottawa thing rather than a flyer vs ottawa thing

since there's no history or bad blood between these teams or anything

[ice grillin you]

makes sense since the flyers have exactly two players left from that team

[BigEd76]

Lupul out at least 2 weeks

Upshall out 6-8 weeks


Broken wrist last night for each

Jason Blake with an all time overreaction:

I've got one thought... the kid should not be [allowed] to ever play in the league again. There's no place in hockey for that. Our game is supposed to be fun, exciting, fast... and safe in the same breath. To watch that last night, it's just unacceptable. Guys like [Downie] should either be suspended or kicked out of the league. To leave your point-man and run a guy all the way from the blueline... I mean, one day, a player is not going to get up. So, something needs to be done about hits of that nature."

When asked about Downie's claim that he has to play like that in order to crack the Flyers' roster, Blake replied: "Has to play like what? That's just a dumb comment from a kid that's not going to make the Philadelphia Flyers. I mean, I watched the play over and over, and to see him hit Dean McAmmond with his head down, going full bore, and leaving his feet... [McAmmond] could have died last night. There's absolutely no place in hockey for that and, if you ask me, [Downie] shouldn't even be allowed to play hockey in the NHL again.

someone needs to perform an abortion on that albino fetus

[ice grillin you]

not much different than you homers under reacting

it was a super cheap vicious hit...should he suspended for life of course farging not...but hes gotta sit for 8-15 games

[SunMo]

8-15...stop

christ, you're turning into a woman

[ice grillin you]

it was premeditated...dirty...cheap and dangerous and the guy has a history

id be shocked if he didnt get around 10 games

i dont care that much cause hes a flyer but if the situation was reversed id be fuming right now and probably talking like blake

[SunMo]

you're still a woman

[Seabiscuit36]

I can smell IGY's tampon all the way up 95

Its a 2 game max, he didnt charge the stills show he was still on the ice with the inital contact.  He caught someone with their head down after Schubert cross checked Downie from behind into the boards.  He got up and wrecked the first thing he saw.  I love steve downie, and if the jerseys werent so ghey i'd have one by friday

[ice grillin you]

im actually stunned at how much of a flyer homer youre...never knew you had it in you...you easily equal and one day may surpass any eagle homer...should be a fun year
