CS
Bryzgalov's Blueline
Very convincing rebuttal I must add...
If I was ever looking to convince anyone of anything, a message board is not where I would start.
Very convincing rebuttal I must add...
No, he's really not.
...but he is. I am a lifelong Flyers fan. I have been following this organization for two decades. And you know what? I have always thought this. **** it. It isn't Holmgren. It isn't luck. It's mentality. We drafted Forsberg. You remember that? We drafted that dude. We traded him and a bunch of other dudes for the shiny piece. And Eric Lindros is one of my favorite hockey players of all time. And at the moment I am staring at a Lindros jersey, no C, rookie season Lindros jersey, which I have owned that long. And you know what? That trade was not the right move.
If you walk up to a woman and scream "HEY YOU WANNA GO HOME WITH ME RIGHT NOW!?" she probably won't. If you scheme a little and make the right nods and eyes and say the right things you got a shot with anyone. That's how I see this organization. Screaming for it. And the defense is "well we always try." Right. Your virgin friend always tries and the reason he never got it was because he doesn't know how. Sit back. Scheme a little. Let things grow and marinate. Forcing the issue is the ethos of the Flyers and it should not be.
Crazy 8s! Yes! LOL....Recchi was no slouch, though.Lindros was the right move. He was everything as advertised, you can't predict injuries. The problem was the surrounding talent. I mean, they had Brent Fedyk as one of his wingers.
No, I'd say puck daddy is above them. At least puckdady can make is articles somewhat funny.
Snider wants to win, the fans give him the cash to spend to the limit. The flyers are never boring and always relevant. What more do you want from an organization?
Yeah Snider's getting old and more single minded by the day, but a lot of fans don't know how lucky we are to have an owner like Ed. I believe that man would sell his soul for another Cup. Think of all the teams out there with ownership issues. Look at the mess in Phoenix for the last however many years. Think of all those cap floor teams. That's never going to be us because of Snider.
Sure he meddles more than he should, but honestly remember when he came out and said "yeah i'm tired of the goalie carousel. the ****'s gonna stop"? We loved him for that at the time because we felt the same way. Bryz was bad, but hindsight is always 20/20. If Bryz turned out great, there never would have been any mumblings about Snider meddling with the team. The only reason there was is because it didn't work out.
You may disagree with me now, but you're going to miss Ed Snider when he's gone.
