There's a term for that, but I'm going to refrain from using it here.

But it's a person with horrible priorities.

I feel bad for level-headed (sure there are very few) flyers fans. Throwing the wrist bands onto the ice that were handed out as a part of the ceremony for their teams founder, just the epitome of classlessness. Just got to be embarrassing and not just from a hockey point of view.

Just so everybody knows... the bracelets handed out at the game had nothing to do w/the Ed Snider tribute. They are generic Led bracelets that have been used in the past at the WFC (at some concerts). It was part of an "interactive" light show to pump up the fans. I'm not defending the fans that threw the bracelets in anyway, but the only thing it had to do w/Ed Snider was it happened on same night in which the team honored him.

yeah but screw your coworker. hes a person. i hate those.

i do see your point though.

Well, he is a person, so I agree.

BTW....did they end up playing that star wars playoff pump at all last night?

I'm sure they didn't have any "Ed Snider specific" bracelets, but they were handed out at last night's game (as opposed to any other Flyers game ever) for part of an interactive light show mean to honor him, as was my understanding.

Flyers Need some size on that front line. I'd add Lucic if you can get him at a reasonable price.

a couple hundred too many and the play had to be stopped several times. sorry its not acceptable behavior and the fact people just say its acceptable just makes me shake my head.
- nastyflyergirl

Yes, all it takes is one on the ice and Ghost - or any of the other players or officials for that matter - skates over it, blows something out, and his career's in jeopardy. Yuk.

I wonder about him. Want to see how he does this playoff run.

He's a tad slow.

Agree on size, but can you imagine if we did get Lucic? The media would be all over it with "Flyers adding more goons, blah blah blah".

Not sure what EK thinks I've been looking up, but "one stop prom shop" is a bad ad.

ooh i love this one. just like every one of those houses having a TV in it that's probably worth near as much as my car. gotta love the Norris homes.

although admittedly, there are definitely larger social ills evident here. still sucks and is annoying to see.

I want size but not sure about Lucic. And I think he is going to get somewhere around 6.5 to 7 million.

Screw the media. Lucic would be a really strong add. Gotta get rid of Read though

- flyer_nutter

The way he plays the game makes a long-term contract a huge risk.

If a couple of injuries slow him down a little more, he'll be absolutely useless, with 5 years left on his contract.

Anyone willing to package picks/D prospects to move up into the top 5 of the draft?

Yes, I get a chuckle out of the rif raf in best buy walking out with a frigin 100" 4K Ultra HD TV. That always gets me warm and fuzzy.

He will want a mega contract which makes sense at the point in his career.

Someone will give him that. I dont want a 5+year commitment.

I was always a Read fan, but Christ, has he been bad lately. Good riddance.

all about priorities.
if they pay their bills, aren't criminals, and treat their kids/each other right, i won't judge.

I despise Lucic. He's just as big a douche as he's always been, and now in a UFA year he's going to be a really expensive douche. He's going to be looking for a lot more than the 3.25M he made this year. No thanks.

that's one way to put the feeling it inspires.

Jagr is an UFA

I don't expect them to win the Cup or even the series, but I did expect more than what I've seen as well.
- jmatchett383

I wanted them to win but expected nothing -- don't people watch these other teams play?

There was nothing about Washington that was a good matchup for the Flyers. Not one. That team could have had 135-140 points this year. Holtby set a record for wins and is in his physical prime after being a Vezina finalist last year.

Who was gonna check the Backstrom line AND Kuznetsov line? The PK has been a tire fire for two seasons, the Flyers take too many penalties, and Washington has had a top three PP for years.

They are bigger than the Flyers and more physical and skate just as well or better.

This wasn't like 2010, where that team underachieved all season. I didn't expect more because sometimes, you have to accept that the other guys get paid too and this Capitals team might be comparable to the 2010 Chicago team if they can win it all
