Flyers' History: Nostalgia Thread

[baudib1]

I look at old drafts and I feel immediately transported back to the time of waiting for prospects.

I feel Sittler will be ready in 20-21 and still think Milos Holan will pan out.

Holy Holan….lol

That was one of the most disappointing things ever, him not working out. He and Ryan Parent I remember really wanting to turn into something. Those two and my boy Wes Walz.

*sigh*

Wes Walz is on the all-name team.

Wes Walz is on the all-name team.

Yep. That was pretty much the whole reason that he was my guy

 

[Normand Lacombe]

One of my all time favorite games, 1997 ECF game 4 at the Rangers. Lindros with the backhander with 5 seconds left to beat the Rangers. The looks on Gretzky and Messier's faces still make me smile, kind of a payback from 1985 and 1987.

He played on that Wild team that made a little surprising noise in the playoffs that one year not far removed from their start up right?

Yeah, I think so. IIRC he was with Boston before us and ended up there eventually. I guess I could Wiki it.

EDIT: He only played two games for us, so it turns out I have mentioned him on HF more times than he played games for us ... or words to that effect.

 

[Embiid]

Member Craig Fisher....he played like maybe a dozen games in the NHL total but I remember a game with the Flyers where he looked very Vinny Prospel like. Crafty stickwork but that was about it....lol

No one will ever top Magnus Roupe. Not even Darren Rumble. I apologize if these were already mentioned, but it bears repeating.

 

[Embiid]

The other player that was LOL was Brad Jones. He was Russ Farwell's answer to addressing lack of team speed which the Flyers missed the boat on as the league changed with more international players. The dude was like a human Messerschmitt....he could skate fast in a straight line.....couldn't do much of anything else.

Rumble.....more like crumble. What a bust.

Basically TJ Brennan of yesteryear, if I recall correctly.

Branko Radivojevic was my favorite to say. What a first name.

I miss ESPN HockeyNight. ESPN is such a joke now but that hockeynight intro was GOAT

The only reason I'm really familiar with him is because he was Minnesota's first line center in NHL 06 and I played that game religiously when I was first getting into hockey.

Every time I mention him, my dad asks if he still plays... I always have to remind him that the guy's almost 50

"Branka" means "goal" or "net" in Slovak btw. He didnt net that many here, haha...

He is currently 7th in points in Slovak top league though! That scoring race is a true blast from the past, Ladislav Nagy in the 3rd place etc..

 

[Hockeypete49]

what was the proposed deal?

If I remember it had to do with the deal with Quebec for Lindros. Then they had the rug pulled out from them and they had to make the picks. Not giving them a pass on the picks cause they should have done their homework and been prepared.

The music they used to have for the intros was GOAT
