  1. Thanks! enjoyed ladt game against Jackets. Nice to have that broad offensive again! gotta be alot of goals this season if tvey keep up
  2. Hi! not being here for a couple of years. After the big rebuild from GM to coach and team I have watched every game again from start of this season. How do you all feel about the season and the team? I must say I really like what I see. So far I like how A.V is coaching the team and alot of exciting names on the roster looking good. Hart, Lindblom, Hayes, Konecny and last night Farabee. Read about stupid moves by Fletcher , giving away pics and overpaying players. Thats not good but hope he knows what he is doing, I can live with the costs as long its a winning roster. Anyway im looking forward to this season, i like how we play.
  3. Its not just about number of goals. I for sure have been one of the guys chanting to trade Hartnell. But having Umberger instead? huh, nah thanks.
  4. Well, Hartnells sallary was a problem. But not compared to VLC. I like Hartnell more than Umberger, and I think Hartnell will be missed. I think he beats Umberger hands down despite being slower and taking more penelties. He is the right type of leader on the ice and in the locker room with a great personality (do not underestimate it) He also takes the hits, and he delivers them. Well, I know we must cut costs but I wish oh how I wish we could have released Vinny instead.
  5. Well... I always expect flyers to go to playoffs so why not this year. I think we will make it but barelly. Its the D that worries me the most. And I hope Umberger came for a trade... but nothing is happen on that front so im a little bit worried about that. Hartnell might not be a sharpshooter any more but he is a class act and great for the locker room. What is Umberger these days?
  6. I Agree. Taking Giroux out of the team would be like taking the Hemi out of my car and replace it with a compost. Giroux is the reason im not as worried as I should be about our team. I think we have a really crappy roster... im not used with such a crappy roster as a flyers fan. It will be an ugly season 2014/2015 but Giroux would be the only guy to enjoy. Im confident we have a future roster, many of our players will be good in a few years and we have some realy good youngsters to try the big team later on. But its important to keep Giroux!
  7. Seriously, no hot rumours? Its a boring silly season... nothing new on the VLC? what is the next move or is our roster complete?
  8. Yes he is young and talent, I guess if he continue we just hooked a talant under the radar. Its just that Esche was talanted, even roman chokemanek was talanted.. I hope Mason is consistent. It would be very good for my heart becouse our golie situation have been frustrating year after years...
  9. Instead of starting new threads of possible trades cant we just discuss it all here?
  10. Its Flyers. Im always worried about goal Rendevou if Mason choke this season. We are a team that gambles and tries different goalies every or two year. Looking at our history late 90's and the 2000 i guess Mason is about to choke soon so we can change again.
  11. Ofcourse it was, but what offensive flare? we never saw it, we just paid for it without getting it. Dont get me wrong, he was a really good player back in the days. But its not just about points... its about attitude, good work ethic, team spirit. I know we dont have cap space, its a waste having him on bench but if no other team wants him that should be a message to vinny too. Earn your sallary or sit. Still hoping for a trade thou
  12. We just have to get rid of him. I think Vinny was lazy even at his best days. I have never liked him and his style, its soooo not flyerish. I dont want him to take a roster spot, pay him and let him sit. Let a youngster from AHL play 4th line.
  13. Im a little bit suprised of the posts here. "Is this a good pick?" "will he be good?" Tons of young talented players never reach the expected potential. And thats often becouse how the organisation handles them. Im more worried about our organisation/coach/staff than Travis. Whatever he becomes a good defensemen is up to our organisation. When the talent is there, and as long as the player does as good as he can (thats often the case) then its up to the coaches to trust them and let them grow.
  14. Seems like Hexy is going for the drafts/youngsters yes. I like that, I have been saying we should do this since Tampa bay won the cup. And we have been doing it, we just jumped ship with it. I mean Stevens with the phantoms core (you know those L.A guys now). We had it all going, but Stevens had to go, Lavy did a nice race with the team but then, instead of keeping the youths, we kept Lavy and here we are again... stucked with guys like Vinny and a old school coach and a Hexy who wants to retool. How will the Cheif handling draftpicks? I like him but I dont think he is the man for the job. I think Gus could have been a good defensemen for us with the right coach. But its a very fragile time, when players is on the line between AHL/NHL. Everyone can make good NHL games but can you grow into it, can you take more responsibility and become a real NHL player? I think Gus could with the right coach. Its so very important you have the right coach when you are handling young players. Coaches like Hitch, Lavy, Cheif is not the best choices.
  15. Its just stupid to stand your ground when you are wrong. And I was wrong but not stupid. I want Spezza, but for 7m? no way in hell.
