As unimpressed with him as I've been, I'd prefer Downie. I hope he can be ready soon.

i'd be tempted to try downie with schenn and simmonds if i didn't think couts and read need him back more

I'm 26. I haven't heard of it.

Meh, damned children of the 90's.

Booing is a right of the fan. Booing the team when they play poorly has always been done. Crying about past moves only when the Flyers lose and never pointing out the good moves ever makes you a......

Not even sure what to call it. If you do not want to support your team when they lose please move to the west side of the state. They have perfected the art over the years.

This is kind of a little crazy, no offense or anything.

Who the hell would point out areas where the team can improve after a win? Of course it would only happen after a loss, or where their play is turning into a bit of a concern.

I think Holmgren should be fired. Thought so myself for a few years, b/c after that Stanley cup final run this organization has been a headless chicken, overpaying for mediocrity on defense in particular.

Management and Snider included are the issues imo. Shoot me, Im not a fan.

Creed or Nickleback? If you had to listen to an hour?

If I had known you were going to do this today, I would have gone last night just to mash your face into the bar.

But we need McGinn. Remember, he's leading the team in goals.

Tye "TurboRocket Richard" McGinn and Jason "Fine Art Ross" Akeson, tag team Stanley Cup champs

GID

I want to fight you.

Michael Bay will probably bring it back to make a movie out of it.

how about would i rather have bob instead of bryz? think of what could have been if they kept bob and said "you're the guy for the next 3 yrs no matter what" and went after defensemen instead of a goalie. since neither stolarz or leier are nhl locks i think those guys could have been had regardless and last night i would rather have had bob

I'm pretty sure Snider forced that move on Homer.

People give Homer poop, but when he traded Bob away it was because they didn't have a buyout. They assumed Bryz was the goalie now and of the future. Bob was never going to get an opportunity to start with the Flyers.

I believe he traded Bob in order to give him a fair shot at starting and to save a little money.

I think Homer did right by Bob and I'm not going to kill him because Snider forced the Flyers to go after a high priced free agent.

That explains so much.

everything is becoming clearer

- tangent_man

posting the exact same negative stuff after every single loss over and over and over is emotion?

oh
- -davies-

Just like going out of someone's way to quote posts of certain users time and time again, or anyone that dare criticize the team?

There are two sides to every coin.

Ahhh well, I prefer we all just ass slap, and carry on

While a valid point, the question was, "If you always criticize past moves after a loss, why don't you always praise past moves after a win?" For instance, if Mark Streit makes a bad read that leads to a goal, and you post, "What a horrible trade, rack him!" then would you praise the same trade if he has 1G/1A +2 the next night? Maybe not the best example, but, as Bill's said many times, a large contingent of fans are happier when there's something to complain about.

- -davies-

Maybe it'd work, put Raffl with 14 & 24, and have bunny center the 4th line. But really, I'd like Downie to find his space making magic with couts again.

My level of respect for you has dropped. Defending PLind and now this? I'm worried about you.

I meant he never mentions positives....ever. Win or lose. Also, I agree with some of what you said but not all of it. What you wrote is an opinion. As american you are entitled to it.

What PLind types is a state of mind.

There you go with reason and logic again. When will you learn, reason and logic have NO PLACE WHATSOEVER on hockeybuzz!

I like Plind.

People just get touchy, and don't get the humor sometimes.

I like the difference he brings as opposed to those who blindly defend every single move the team makes.

Since Homer made the worst trade in history, trading a young goalie for one of the best young goalies in the world and a winger on Canada's WJC team, I think it's about time the Flyers throw the season to increase their pick.

Well thats enough insanity for now, I'm off to the gym

Catch ya all later!

Is PLind the Don Rickles of Hockeybuzz?
