Flyers ask fans to help to help select new goal song



Would be cool to see CBJ doing the same thing (for the song that is played after cannon+ac/dc).

I can't follow this Buffalo Eichel situation any more.

I thought Eichel wanted the fusion surgery and the team didn't. Now they are saying he doesn't want the surgery when he failed his physical while the team thinks it is the right thing to do? Am I understanding this right?

I think it's the opposite, the team doctor wants the fusion surgery and he (based on the opinions of experts) wants a newer surgery that hasn't previously been performed on an NHL player. Curious to see how this goes, but certainly doesn't look like he'll ever play for the Sabres again.

Maybe that’s it. I was thinking the fusion surgery was the newer option but I guess I was thinking wrong.

I'll have a go...

1) lead with this


2) AndBoomGoesTheCannon

3) then this plays for ~30 seconds



I'm firm on steps 1 and 2. Open to suggestions on step 3.

Now Eichel stripped of captaincy

I always get into the weeds on these kinds of things because I want more context. In this case, I want to know what's the purpose of a goal song?

Keep the organ player (old school) guy employed?
Everyone else has one
Gets people excited- not that the goal didn't.

On a related note I've always wondered what the purpose of hockey is?

Give short people a sport to play in the winter other than basketball?

Allow psychopaths to wreak havoc ad not get arrested

Interesting things to ponder...

It would make more sense if basketball was invented earlier.

Personally, I've always found more aesthetic value and enjoyment watching people skate rather than jump and run kind of movement.

I agree on the beauty of skating. It's especially pleasing compared to basketball, which always looks awkward to me. I love the athleticism of football, that is beautiful to me too, I just can't stay interested when there's only 10 minutes of actual play spread across three hours.

Teams that skate exceptionally well have always fascinated me. the Habs of the 60's & 70's were just beautiful to watch. Not reliant on one man break aways the whole team had precision.

I remember there was some talk about us trading down for or picking Brown 3rd in 2016. Looks like we dodged a bullet

Jody, Jared, Derek, where are you?

There is a reason why we hire all the ex-goons as development coaches, you know.

Cross checks to the face don't belong in the game.

I'm supposed to enjoy a dude getting cross-checked in the face?

PLD really set the team back but it's not because he's a bad person. Some things are just unfortunate and don't mean that we should hate the people involved.

Unless it's J*ff C*rt*r.

Seems impossible to know since he won’t say why he abandoned the team. Maybe he is a bad person.

Jeff Carter thought he was too good for the Jackets before he ever set foot in Columbus, so of course that's different.

Seems impossible to know since he won’t say why he abandoned the team. Maybe he is a bad person.

I can't imagine it.

 

[tunnelvision]

I really don't like playing with the idea that someone's ultimately a bad person, even if we're talking about Carter, let alone Marchand or Wilson. There are questionable and just downright bad actions in hockey that some people do more often than others and for which they should be accountable for, but saying someone is bad as a person makes it sound like he can't change his habits or affect anymore on how he's being perceived by others, no matter what he will do on and off the ice for the rest of his life.

Given all the facts we've been told, Carter acted like an adult baby who cried his way out of town he never wanted to land in the first place. It was an unpleasant series of events to witness as a CBJ fan, a series filled with poor hockey management, bad luck and selfishness. But to unironically hate and boo someone because of all that mess 10 years later is just weird to me.

SIAP...I was reading Portzline's twitter feed and saw where Alison Lukan is covering the Seattle Kraken? You mean we lose her and get stuck with Dave Maetzold?
