Ottawa just added Debrincat, I think they are looking to take a big step forward.

They may be better than you think.

Tony De Angelo has apparently been lobbying G according to interview he gave with Myrteus. haha

what part of retired did you not grasp? pick fights, sad what this country has become.

Where you headed for vacation?

I’m failing to see where I didn’t understand that you said you were retired, unless you meant to say retarded? Does retired mean logging into a hockey web site day after day, calling people meaningless names online until the day you die?

what kind of soap do you use?

Clock back in and get back to work at the deli counter. Miss Sherry likes her bologna sliced thin.

Lebonan or Beef?

You didn't understand as you asked the question.

Means I do not have a care in the world and sit on my deck down the shore during the day. This coming from the guy who post during his 15 minute break from the deli counter.

Where you headed?

Both are good. Beef bologn is underrated. Has a bad wrap imo.

Here is a solid recipe for a Saturday afternoon watching college football. Couple pounds of bologna or cotechino. Sliced into quarters. Fry it up. Ads some pepper flakes. Crack an egg into it- optional. Dump a can or 2 of tomato sauce. Serve that schitt on a roll. Gods cheap eats.

During the last 15 years has any team come remotely close to spending the amount of money and man games lost to over 30 expensive defensemen? Not even factoring in the assets in acquiring them.

Hatcher, Rathje, Pronger, Ellis .. am I missing anyone?

- Flyers_01



I have no idea about that but overall this is the price that you pay for not being successful enough in drafting and developing your own defenseman.

I love Lebanon Bologna. But I don't like the sweet version nearly as much.

The reverse KK carries the risk of JG getting a taste of the dysfunction, getting a taste of Torts, and saying no thanks goodbye after one year.

He's also never gonna be coming off an 115-point season again, his value might not be near as high next summer.

Bill,

Just say Fletcher fails to do anything for this team this offseason and they basically go into next season with what they have. If they fail to get Gaudreau or any impact players the fans will talk with not showing up to the gate. Empty seats on TV is not something comcast wants. He wouldn't be able to survive that would he?

I may in the minority. JG is not putting asses in the seats.

My hope is that even if the Flyers get Gaudreau that the fans still don't show up. Doubt it though.

IMO, only way Fletcher survives with or without JG is a playoff birth. If they are again top 5 in draft lottery by trade deadline, would not be shocked to see Fletcher fired at that time to get a jump on the GM search.

7 years? So a 54 year Cup drought? Surely people wouldn't try and rationalize that would they?

At this rate, there's probably a better chance that the USA/NHL fold before the Flyers ever get their poop together.

The fact there are still staunch defenders is mind boggling. Can't take them serious.

He is probably a dude in his 40's that received an injury settlement or won the lottery and is "retired". No way he is close to 70 sitting on the computer all day responding to every single post in this blog.

There is no one on these boards who ever "loses" an argument with you. You are a dummy. A big dummy, like Lamont.

not sure I care if we sign JG, I feel he's just a younger version of G, if the flyers are gonna spend that kind of money it should be on a franchise super star game changer
