Now, I love Claude Giroux and I like the tenacity of Brendan Gallagher, but let's not ignore the fact that only Milan Lucic has a Cup of the three you listed, and that they played a heavier brand of hockey to get it
- AllInForFlyers

I feel like Montreal gets chewed up and spit out in the playoffs and this isn't ignoring any recent success they've had. It just doesn't result in Cups.

No worries -- you didn't ask for assistance. But it's a false correlation to say that just because Chicago is small now that all three of their Cups were won by small teams

They weren't

No question. Thanks again.

I appreciate the defense but I've been using this site for 10 years. I've been here long than anyone NOT named Jsaq, Ob18, Bodiva and Crims (sorry if I've left one or two names out. I remember when FF16 left because of this nonsense. I remember when MJL first came on to the scene.

I can take it. Most of these guys are wasting their breath.

A couple of questions then here:

So since your name says you've been here only since 2012, which my count is only 3+ years, are you going to change your name again? Semi follow up on that question, What were your names in the past?

And,

Were you 6 when you joined? The reason I ask is because a lot of your comments make you seem like you are 16 years old.

There's plenty of evidence that bigger teams win Cups, too

- AllInForFlyers


Absolutely. LA Kings. Which is why I said I just want to be good. Big, small, or somewhere in between.

Here's the real problem. We should be discussing the posters opinion. If we're discussing the poster, then we've gone off the reservation and there is an issue. There is absolutely no reason for the above post. None. It's a hockey site.

He simply has an opinion on the Flyers size and offered up that opinion. If you think he's wrong, then debate that, and why you think he's wrong, to your blue in the face.

There is absolutely no reason for the above, nor is there anything in his posting to show that he is a troll, as was insinuated earlier in a direct personal attack by another poster. It's all uncalled for.

Debate opinions, not posters.

I just looked back at the 2010 Blackhawks, because I thought I remembered them banging the Flyers around a little bit in the Finals

That was not a small team

Jensen was really struggling with VAN, their fans seem to be very happy. I hope a change of scenery is not what he needed as I want to say the NYRs just got b%%^& slapped in this trade. But this is one of those trades, like most, that will take years to determine who won.

For the record. I said Brayden Schenn and Zac Rinaldo are pretty much the same player. One just gets the chance and the other only gets 3 minutes.

Its a simple fact.

Konecny gonna go ape playing for Sarnia tonight.

Fun fact: Laine was drafted by Sarnia, even though he won't play for them most likely. Could you imagine? Damn. That'd be the best line in junior hockey.

Laine---Zacha---Konecny

Plus Jsaq, MJL and myself were a lot worse half a decade ago, so most of you should consider yourselves lucky.

Oddly enough, Crims is exactly the same

If we are looking at filling out that last roster spot for minimal why not take a chance with Gormley. At 23 maybe we can mold him into a decent defenseman. He seems to have the size and his $850,000 salary seems very reasonable for a first round pick. Surprising he passed through waivers.
Thoughts?
