ruxpin Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So, the Flyers lose ten in a row and nearly everyone -- myself included -- is "fire the coach," "trade all the things," "I knew an average-at-best goalie would only play average-at-best!," "The pretzel guy touched me inappropriately in 1992!" etc. etc. etc. So now that they've beaten Calgary and Edmonton in back-to-back games, I think really only one question remains. Where are you hanging out for the Stanley Cup Parade? I think I'm starting out at Broad & Locust and then maybe shadowing the parade from there. After that, I'm not sure. How about you?

brelic Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We're all bipolar! I'm starting mine right here in New Brunswick, and @elmatus and I gonna march our a$$es all the way to Philly. Might take us a few months, but it's happening. Of course, if we could wait a few years until Myers makes the team.... then he'll bring the Cup right here to us.

hf101 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 You are right @ruxpin Nearly everyone. Except... myself and Hextall thought Hakstol should be fired. Elliot still is an average goalie, and long term it might be a great idea to trade Voracek. and... It probably would be no surprise that I'm not starting any parade plans, I must be as stoic as Hakstol. carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Don't plan the parade just yet folks....let them at least win 3 in a row...... .....then get on the phone and make reservations!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I don't know if a parade is in order just yet, however in light of the past two games performances. I would say Dale Weise, Dave Hakstol and Michael Raffl have all earned contract extensions with considerable raises and NTCs for the players.

Since I'm fairly confident I'm exposing myself to no financial risk, if they win the Cup this year, I'll buy. The caveat is that they have to do it in a sweep over Ottawa in the finals.

Bring binoculars and forklift mirrors, because...well, you lived down there so you know it's not on the Parade route. If you want to make it Jim's on South I'm game to meet up. Though, if we're not going to be on the parade route anyway, we should just do Delasandro's in Roxborough and avoid the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delasandro's in Roxborough SOLID SOLID SOLID As is Steve's Prince of Steaks on Bustleton is also very solid.

I haven't had a cheese steak in so long I may need to go on a road trip I haven't done Steve's on Bustleton. but I did do the one up on Comly in NE. I'm not a huge fan of the sliced steak, but the taste was good. And I know what you mean. I've lived in Williamsport area (about 60 miles east of State College) for 22 years. A lot of Philly exports here, but their cheese steaks suck. We finally had a place run by a couple Philly guys for about 3 years, and it was actually pretty legit. But it didn't make it. Aside from the rolls and the meat being wrong, the people up here like to stick a salad on it. If I wanted a salad, I'd order a fricken salad.

darthbal Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hmmmm... Not sure where I will stand for the parade, but I will make the trip from Ottawa... On a side note, you guys are giving me some place to go try from when I go down for the April 5th game vs Carolina... Going to have to make a list of all them.
