Where is the Parade?

That's just wrong, if you weren't the site owner I'd report you!

Only until the Flyers sign Bobby Ryan...

Ah, that won't happen until he's at least 32.....

All time though to this point, at least since my viewership, has to be Eric Lindros.

Showing my age a bit, but all time for me has to be #16.....Clarkie was my favorite player as a kid, and that busted tooth smile while holding the Cup a hundred years ago will forever be ingrained in my mind.

Agree on Couturier, if he gets a chance to get his offensive game going, he could be next in line

@Polaris922

You're right of course, I mean you're always right, right? Lol shrug

Giroux is the face of the Flyers....now he's the stinky pinky too

@Podein25

Well put. I blame Lindros for Polaris' comments.

@Polaris922

Dishonor? He was a big dude that steamrolled people, but when I think of the word dishonor I'm thinking dirty, stick play and knee shots and slew foots. I never thought of Lindros as dirty, and certainly not in the same area code as Cooke and freakin Avery. I think you may be viewing Lindros through the same tinted glasses that Flyer fans view Crosby

Thank jeebus I'm in NJ, I'm only paying for the Sixers new practice facility.....and probably the stinkin Devils' arena.....and GW bridge closings....and the most corrupt state gov't in the union.....yep I got a good deal

"Well, Rex signed the posters but when Eric found out they were for you, he tore every one of them up. I'm sorry about that.

I never spoke to Eric Lindros again."

I can guarantee I would have talked to him again, and asked him how such a big guy could be such a small person. Or why he hates charity. Dick move.

 

I still think it is weird that there are no single home game tickets. Do they only use season passes, cause stubhub is resale from other people. (with season pass that can't attend a certain game?)

 

Generally teams won't put single game tickets on sale until August or so. For example the Flyers are still trying to sign up people for season tickets or partial season packages. Once they get that out of the way, the leftovers will go on sale as singles.

You may want to wait a bit and see when Rangers single games tickets go on sale

Edit: Yes StubHub at this point is either season ticket holders or legalized ticket brokers that use StubHub as a venue for sales

why are people still talking about trading Giroux?

Bored.

It's July.

It's better than working.

But really to me it just sounded like rowdy fans. Not anyone spewing hate. They were just really riled up. They cheered loudly for ridiculous **** too. There was just some booze and adrenaline flowing

Right on Double K, boys will be boys.....especially in Philly

 Flyers have a nice cupboard full of prospects now so they have planted the seed they just need to let them grow.

Hexy = Bob Marley

Snider = Sheriff John Brown

To answer the question what I think Giroux might bring,well with Lavi being the Pred's coach how about Webber and Jones straight up for Giroux and VLC? That would finally get the Flyers a little better defense and the Preds some real offense. Would that make everybody happy? I'll bet Lavi would like it !("The Best Player in the World")

I've often wondered how quickly Lavi regretted that best player in the world comment. Without evaluating the likelihood of such a trade (since I don't think that's what you were inferring), I'll say it really is almost impossible to get full value when trading a superstar level player in the NHL. Mostly because its so tough to define and value their contribution to the team; Giroux's value to the Flyers is likely greater than the value that a potential trading partner would place on him.

I don't think there's a Flyer fan anywhere who wouldnt want Weber on the squad. But is he worth losing Giroux?

IMO the forward lines fall apart without that #1 linchpin at Center. Short of something implausible like getting Crosby, or getting back a "Herschel Walker" truckload of #1 picks, I just don't think there's any way you can trade Giroux and feel like they were a better team after the trade.

Maybe this would be a good time to see what Giroux is worth?

I'll bite, what would you take back for G as being full value?

Bobby Ryan

Nolan Ryan

Nolan Cromwell

Oliver Cromwell

Oliver Lauridsen

Wait a minute....

Howie;

I agree the thought of Emery getting a heavy workload with Stolarz backing him up would assuredly mean a sub-.500 season. But I guess I see that scenario playing out only if Mason gets hurt. I don't think he's necessarily the savior, but what I've seen of him gives me confidence that he's got the makings of a better than average goaltender. As you say, we should know soon enough

Seriously, no hot rumours? Its a boring silly season... nothing new on the VLC? what is the next move or is our roster complete?

I think the roster was set before free agency started. Nobody wants VLC unless we eat half his salary, which really defeats the whole purpose of dumping his sorry ass. I think the only suspense is going to be whether one of kids can make enough of an impression to get some ice time with the big team...Laughton would be probably be the best bet but....we already have too many centers

We ain't doing nothing for the first time in forever, and I'm good with that for now.

Someone who's never been in my kitchen

Outstanding Mr. Claven!

here is the pens jersey's as a reference

Well that killed it for me!

@pilldoc

I have an Isles fan buddy, he actually had one of those god awful abominations...until one of us dies I will be busting his chops about the Fishboy unis

booing kids as they get drafted is foolish, I don't think there is any other way to look at it.

 

 In case you missed it, kids didn't get booed as they were drafted. If they did you would have a point, but they didn't
