Well, we know where things stand and they can only go up...heck, Torts might be the only thing entertaining this season.

at least it's starting out in the Flyers' favor, Risto is out tonight
Heck, make him play as close to the blue paint as much as possible, then fire many pucks in his direction so he can be a top-scorer from all the deflections, intentional or not.
He was actually pretty good at that a few seasons ago, puck deflections not a puck-magnet.
He could throw away the seasons
never using reason
causing Fly fans pain
And our heads, we're left scratchin'
at the moves this numbskull's hatchin'
If Chuck only had a brain
He unrivals other GMs
In his utter lack of genius
Impossible to explain
An the team, it keeps stinkin'
While the fans are busy thinkin'
If he only had a brain
Ohhh Iyyyyyyyyy can tell you why, this team is such a bore
The D still blows and their top lines can't score
Then Chuck keeps, on shocking us more
His head's just full of stuffing
his moves amount to nothing
driving us insane
He overpays for every hoser
Signing every loser
If Chuck only had a brain
AJ and Devonta are gonna ball! 2 1,000yd receivers baby!
anyone know which WR duo holds the Eagles' record for most combined yards in a season? I don't know how to look it up for a duo but I think it's something weird like D-Jax and Riley and I DON'T think they eclipsed 2,000 yards but may be close, like 1800-1900ish. Might've been Maclin and Riley...one of those.
I actually think Hextall did a commendable job getting the organization back to a level spot to start from, regarding contracts, players, draft picks, etc though he did take awhile to do it, but the team WAS in that much trouble.
So, Hex got the team back to 'head above water' status and damn, the team has sunk even further than I thought they could, like Fletch is forcing heads underwater like it's the Spanish Inquisition or something. Sad
