  1. It was unbelievable how in both The 1985 and 1987 Playoffs he cracked ribs, donned a flak jacket and gave it everything he had, (case in point the 2 man short goal vs Quebec in 1985). The guy was a warrior and a leader of men. He epitomized everything I love about those mid 80’s teams, hence my username (Mark Howe was actually my favorite player despite my adoration of the captain).
  2. So true, to this day I despise Fuhr and all those 80’s Oilers.
  3. Dang that old place used to get loud! It was a dump in certain ways but it was our dump and we loved it. That was only my 3rd season being a fan...I was in 5th grade at the time and absolutely worshiped those guys.
  4. At least this game had a happy ending unlike the series.
  5. 1987 Finals Game 3 - With the Flyers down 2-0 in the series after games in Edmonton they returned to the Spectrum to play a game was emblematic of the series, where they get down early and fight back. This remarkable team never stopped fighting and if Tim Kerr was available the outcome may have been different.
  6. If its Ranger hate you want how about this game from the 1985 playoffs game 1, the first step in a long journey to the Cup Final. I don’t know about the rest of you who watched that era but I really liked Todd Bergen and was so sad that he left hockey for golf (he couldn’t take the abuse from Iron Mike Keenan).
  7. Here is one of the best games in Flyers history with possibly the most important goal in their history.
  8. Oh me too! I always had a thing for English girls ever since I studied there. Imagine what it’s like when she is by the refrigerator aisle!
  9. I didn't promise it was going to be a good moment in Flyers history
  10. On this day on 2002 the Flyers traded Kent Manderville for convicted rapist Billy Tibbetts! https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/2002/0317/1353263.html What a banner day that turned to be as he lasted 23 days with the club before being placed on waivers! Great great times indeed!! For those that don't recall the rest of the season, this was the time of the epic Checko meltdown in the playoffs which went hand in hand with the inexplicable 4-1 series loss to Ottawa in the first round.
  11. I attended the Phantoms loss on Wednesday and since the Flyers raided them they are beyond awful to watch. They need to sign some better career AHLers to help the team win more so that the prospects that are there right now have more experience winning. Fletch has whiffed on this aspect of the team according to the hardcore Phantoms fans I spoke with at the arena. The career AHLers he signed have been huge stiffs so far.
  12. With the return to the divisional system we wouldn’t get the B’s till the Semi-finals (provided we stay out of the wild card). i think we can give the Pens, Caps, and Bruins a run for their money personally.
  13. It was kind of like the Sabres game in reverse. We dominate, they have a goalie stand on his head and win. Don’t count the Flyers out in a 7 game series with the B’s I think they would have their hands full with us.
  14. So that’s what it feels like to have a goalie steal a game. I’ve forgotten as we really didn’t haven’t seen this kind of thing since 1986-87.
  15. I don’t know but we need to send them back to where they came from.
  16. Did Hakstol sneak back behind the bench tonight? What the heck is going on out there!?!?
  17. You and me both...I pray they are right again this year. My popcorn is ready for the playoffs!
  18. Their modeling predicted the Blues winning the cup last year long before anyone gave that a thought.. Just for fun check out this year’s current playoff odds according to their model. http://moneypuck.com/predictions.htm
  19. The way things are going we soon could be asking where we can park this along Broad St.
