ooh I saw that when I quoted you, but it didn't show up, that is so cool

*jeopardy buzzer, he's not a forward.

Flyers have an amazing core that most fans envy but your back end is too weak and overall I think you need an upgrade in the toughness department too. Also Briere needs to go.

I'm on the fence with Bryz like most of you. I think if he was insulated a little better, his performance would reflect it. Also a better back up goalie would help too cause he doesn't seem like a guy that likes a lot of games in a row. Doesn't seem to be very solid mentally for long stretches. He looked like a burnt out goalie last night with some mental errors.

Hypothetically, say the Flyers were interested in a Toews/Kane/Keith/Seabrook package, what would they have to give up?
- PLindbergh31

Giroux, Couts, Coburn, the Schenns, Voracek or something like that.

Now, if you're building a team around one guy, who are you taking?
- NickTheKid87

I'm probably taking one of the 3 superstars. But I wouldn't be upset if I had the 4th pick.

I saw a story on him recently, I forget where it was. He had no intentions of going out after the game that evening, and someone called him at home and asked him to meet them at the Bennigans. I wonder if the player who called him feels any sense of guilt. Bill would probably know this story if it's true.

Okay, so don't shoot the messenger on this one, but you asked, so I'll tell you what I've heard.

A few years ago, a certain d-bag Toronto sports writer (not naming names, but you have all heard of him) wrote something in his column to the effect of "The Flyers would love to retire his number, but they don't feel right honouring a guy who died drinking and driving. But the team knows the real story."

I had no idea what he was writing about, but I had a friend who worked with this cetain d-bag writer, so I asked my friend to get clarification.

According to this d-bag writer (again, don't shoot the messenger) Lindberg used to drive home drunk a lot. But the Flyers (and remember: it was a different time) used to think it was hilarious, and never worried because Lindberg had such fantastic reflexes, being drunk behind the wheel wasn't a problem.

On the night of the accident, Pelle was at the wheel, and was driving at a fast rate. He had two passengers - a male and a female, and the female was terrified. So terrified that she grabbed the keys and turned off the engine, not knowing that it would lock the steering column.

So "the real story" is that "it wasn't really Pelle's fault - just a horrible accident."

I have no idea if it is true or not, but it does come from a pretty good (albeit dbag) source.

couple of nits

I think they have plenty of toughness with the Schenns, Simmonds, Grossman, Rinaldo.
No real heavyweight but the game is going away from that role.

Also Bryz actually does well with lots of work, but even that has its limits... and I think I agree that he seems tired.

iirc apparently the team addressed this with him days prior... again if iirc.

A conspiracy?

I think Crosby is more talented than Malkin, Malkin's just more flashy. Crosby doesn't try to many dekes and dangles because they're low percentage. I don't think anyone in the league has vision or hockey sense close to Sid's. He's also a tremendous skater.
- NickTheKid87

i agree with this somewhat. crosby is many more times mentally ahead of malkin. but just due to his size, malkin should be able to do more things. imagine if he actually used his wingspan to play proper defense as opposed to just taking retaliating hooking penalties because someone stripped him of the puck. and he has a hell of a heavy shot that crosby doesnt. so while like all of these other arguments its all relative, i think malkin is more physically talented but not necessarily better

Hadn't heard that.

I had never heard the story of the woman grabbing the keys but did hear he was prone to drinking and driving.
