Howie58 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 I read that we scored a power play goal. Next comes a balanced federal budget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 OMG, we go to OT. That virtually guarantees a loss. Cam we escape history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Maybe the team is coming of age. Walker is a good unintended pickup. Next comes CBJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch, but it seems the squad doesn't cave under adversity. An OT win is almost beyond belief. About the only downside--no top 5 pick. I just started the thread for tomorrow. Let's hope that isn't a repeat of San Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 the GW goal was the equivalent of Luke quitting after he couldn't life the X-wing out of the swamp and then Darth Vader tripping over his robe and breaking his neck. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers should get a good haul back for him... He's getting a long term deal. You can book that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "long-term" means 4 or 5 years I'm okay with it. Tippett is a keeper. I see no point in trading away young, productive players for picks that you only hope will someday equal Tippett's (or TK's or Farabee's or Hart's etc) production. Hell of a win today - in front of a big crowd from what I saw and heard. 2 Flyers' PP goals in the same game? Beating the Cup champs is impressive enough but the way they did it with everybody contributing was great to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my rebuild team for the future it has only one spot as of now for a vet and a right hand vet at that so Risto is out first offer i get even...i'm pikcing up salary to do it i don't want him tainting the youth anymore than he already has. Walker and Risto are both 29 - so i choose Walker moving forward... ...trade Risto, Seeler, Staal and even Zamula if you get a decent offer but i'm good keeping him too.

GratefulFlyers Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Seeler has played extremely well this year. He looks to be on a second career of sorts, from all but washed up a few years ago to an excellent role model on the ice and a hard-to-play-against 2nd pair D-man. He’ll be a solid pickup for a PO team but Briere has to demand a real good return. If Briere re-signs him that’s fine with me too. He’s a bargain at twice what he’s getting now. I guess it’s official I’m a Nick Seeler fan. Edited November 19, 2023 by GratefulFlyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have to wonder if this is subterfuge....and this is the story so that they can showcase Frost for a trade...he has been trade rumored for a while...

GratefulFlyers Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Tortorella said was Brink was “fighting it a bit” the previous week. Whatever, Brink seemed to take it in stride, came in and scored on his first touch. Can’t ask for a better response than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
