He was supposed to be the savior....

lord remember those teams. him, marlon anderson, tomas perez. i will say, i always was a fan of doug glanville though

RAJ not only over paid, he lost the 1st rd pick. Adams will come around, the injury last year was serious. Charlie is terrible at picking situations for the BP arms to come in. Horst is a lefty specialist, period. However, we don't know what's coming from upstairs.

Delmon Young? Seriously?

Sorry, I could go on all night.
- jstross

no apologies necessary man. as could i.

Yeah, because that is exactly what he said.




- MBFlyerfan

@ Captain Hyperbole. I laughed a thousand guffaws at him.

ill be the first to admit though, whatever the hell has gotten into brown lately i sure as hell didnt see coming. i had essentially written him off.

Decabolin and Adderall

Nope! My wife declined to know at the last minute when we went for the ultrasound. Then, a week later, declined again when we had to go back because baby was positioned in such a way that they could not get all of the measurements that the ultrasound techs wanted.

And then Skip looked at the ultrasound and said, "My God! He's hung like a moose!"

I have kids, so nothing's paid off

I'm close to calling Sky Loans myself.

That was the team I grew up watching.

Our most feared hitter was Ron Mother(frank)in Gant

It was the umbilical cord...

Jesus, Evander...

I see you have that Robin Williams cassette, as well

There's a lot of luck involved with drafting. And it's really unbelievable how unlucky the Flyers have been when it comes to drafting defenseman and goaltenders.
- MJL

Tertyshny. *sigh* If not for the accident, who knows how he could have panned out...

Actually, no -- but it explains a lot (about myself).

they sure bate you with offers, don't they?
- isaiah520

No, they leave me alone.

The Flyers have had their share of misfortune and tragedy. Ashbee, Parent's back and then eye. The way injuries ravaged the 1985 & 87 finalists, Lindros being out for the 1999 playoffs with the lung and then the circus in 2000. The numerous injuries on defense in 2004. Coburn and Timonen missing for most of the 2008 ECF vs the Pens...

We need to get Cerrano a live chicken
- Jsaquella

Oh, man...just...wow. Just cannot buy a break when it comes to this stuff.

Really, it's why I continue to support the franchise with the energy that I do -- some of the stuff that has happened to this team is Twilight Zone-caliber.

I mean, think about it. Nearly every draft you can think of usually has two "can't-miss" guys. Right? When was the last time you saw an NHL draft and it just had question marks about every single guy?

It's happened three times in the last 15 years -- 1999. 2012. And...2007.

Of course, in the one year the Flyers were abysmal, truly abysmal, they are awful in between two of the best "Top Heavy" drafts the NHL has seen, in 2006, where Jordan Staal and Jonathan Toews were drafted in the Top 3, and 2008, when Steven Stamkos, Drew Doughty and Alex Pietrangelo were the Top 3.

Good Lord. Good Lord. Good Lord.

I need to stop.

I think Meltz is going to have some great insights during the amnesty buyout period. Should have some interesting options in UFA by the draft.

Actually he said hung like a bear, to which the doctors replied, "thats the umbilical cord, Mr Williams"

Don't cut that...can't we let him dream for awhile?

Tertyshny. *sigh* If not for the accident, who knows how he could have panned out...
- Flyskippy

I always believed that despite what the Flyers said.. they were on the verge of shipping him elsewhere.

That kid was smooth.

Except during this team president's tenure:



Um. The guy on the left...
- Flyskippy

He was involved in bringing lindros to town though.

Mez and 41st(and maybe a later pick) to Calgary for the 28th?

Wideman and Giordano are currently their only D men under contract next year.

I don't. Richardson was a goner until the untimely death of Tertyshny.

That sure got us a lot of Cups.

- hereticpride

Shhhhhh! I have long felt that Calgary is the most likely trading partner for the Flyers for Meszaros. But keep that under your hat. We don't want to scare them off.

Well then let's look at the Flyers drafting record under Holmgren and give him a performance review. It's pretty solid. And making that analogy is pretty weak. Are you dealing with the inexact science that the NHL Draft is? That's a crap shoot at best, for even those who are the best at it?
- MJL

i'm judging him overall and i'm seeing a guy, who, kinda like bryz, has had his moments, but ultimately is avg. if this team doesn't show signs of growth this season, he should be gone.
