I do find it odd that for the Flyers Puckmore has 2 goalies on it....but the Flyers never had a good goalie since Parent.

Shelley's too easy, and he wasn't the worst enforcer/goon in team history. I'd go with Roman Vopat and Dan Lacroix over him. The rest are solid, but I'd replace Eminger with Billy Tibbetts because (frank) him.

I disliked Riley Cote way more than Jody Shelley. Lukas Krajicek I feel like played more than Bartulis and Parent once acquired and somehow I feel like Steve Eminger would have been an upgrade above all three. Parel Brendl...Meh. I look st him like Jori Dopita. More of a disappointment then anything else.

Randy Jones, Kyle Calder, Brandon Manning, Chris Vandelde and Freddy Myer all made my list. My list comes from a view of player we kept playing no matter how bad they were.

I think Giroux will get to 1,000 points, I just hope it is as a Flyer. I have a feeling 4 seasons will go a lot quicker than I ever thought when he signed that contract.

Not impossible but it’s gonna be really tough. 323 points he’d have to collect after age 30?

If I have my facts straight, when Bobby Clarke and Bobby Orr each dished 89 assists in 1974-75, they set a then NHL record for assists in a season, which wasn't broken until Wayne Gretzky dished 109 in 1980-81.

I don't think it will be that tough. 80-72-62-60-49 and you are there, and I'm not being generous with the points. Next to seasons could both be 80+. Only thing is health though.

Garth Snow fought Steve Shields, Andrei Trefilov, not to mention Barnaby, Ray, and May. I'd give him a spot if he could have completed the Buffalo goalie trifecta and fought Hasek.

Edit: Oh poop, he did.

Yea, thats ridiculous. Desjardins-Therien was our best d pairing for a long time. 753 GP, 159 pts, +125. Far from suck.

Giroux most likely will finish 2nd in points and assists and get so little respect from many. It blows my mind. Take away the C, trade him, etc etc

Those Flyers-Sabres line brawls were epic. Barnaby and May were total scumbags, as were Kordic and LaCroix

I absolutely despised Barnaby, but man I would have loved Brad May on this team. But yeah, the multiple playoff series that we had in the mid-90s made those games eventually devolve into glorious wars.
