Where do the Flyers rank as an NHL destination? One writer weighs in...

Like Butsy, ForeverFlyer16 can be found on Twitter. I actually ran into him at the game I received my Grossmann #8 jersey.

Does anyone know why OB18 sends out that massive early morning tweet every morning... what is that?

Absolutely wicked. Love em. Question. Have you heard the theory that white pads are best for tenders as shooters can't pick up the holes as fast? I remember Fleury switching from yellow because an optometrist told him that the first colour eyes pick up is yellow. I've got two sets of customs reebok Pz pads and blocker/trappe one is red and the other white. I alternate depending on the jersey we wear. Haven't seen a dif and wonder what ur thoughts are.

The yellow is obviously helping Fluery

The guy on the left looks like he's staring at the headlights of an 18 wheeler separated by about 3 feet of highway.

Just to play devils advocate for a second, During Holmgren's era the Flyers are tied for second least with 30 picks. Which accentuates the claims that he trades draft picks like they are Holiday gift cards. I don't mind doing this if it's done the right way. Throwing picks away for stop gaps like Pavel Kubina is what I don't like.

And the average # of games played, how much of this number is inflated due to a ridiculous number of injuries? Calling kids up out of necessity who aren't ready to play in the NHL doesn't really reflect strong drafting imo.

Who was the guy - FF16 or something like that - who loved Billy Joel? He sorta just flared up one day responding to a poster and left, never to be heard from again.

I think he's done well this summer. If the team gets off to a slow start next year, I wouldn't feel comfortable with Hextall in the mix now.

If the Flyers miss the playoffs this year, I think both Holmgren and Laviolette are certainly gone.

Neither should ForeverFlyer16's screen name.

Well.. You and I *were* trying to prevent the next Buzzgate from turning into a hockey version of Puke Wing Bowl so our respective sons could still attend.
