Did you watch the replay and see the ref interfere with the puck? Are you just going to pretend that doesn’t happen? Unless you think players should move on the ice accounting for the fact that refs will get in the way

I say F$%^ the F3, I want Tippet lining up the shoot the puck, that is why I have a goalie and defenseman.

Saw Flyers have been scouting Manitoba. Jets had scouts stay behind to watch Philly the other night. Jet's looking for defense.

Just to change topics a little

I love that one kid Brad Lambert…he had a bunch of static weird issues pre draft but he can fly and is an offensive player for sure.

I’m sure the FLYERS love Rutger Mcgroarty (sp?)….and who wouldn’t…..but I doubt he’s in play

For all those who wanted Flyers to grab Gabe Perrault well as a freshman he is now leading all of NCAA in scoring

Off topic: I was just reminiscing about the old school Flyers, and how frustrating it was that they couldn’t put a team together to win it. Just kept swinging and missing on old names and untapped potential….total Raiders poop (my favorite sports team/thing in my life since I was 6….im old now)

On the “untapped potential” line: was watching this video of Alexandre Daigle having a hatty for the Flyers. Note his final goal he was on the ice for pick #3 in his draft year.



And we all know #2 was here as well… 1-3 in that draft all played for the flyers.

What a load of BS. This is your standard reply when you are beaten .. when you have no reply because I just exposed you.

- jd250


Exposed me how?


I feel sorry for you jd. I truly do. How you can be so invested in the sport of hockey and know so little about it. It's mind boggling.

I was one. I do not care if GP is a bust. he has such a high ceiling and potential you take the shot. Bonk was a need pick. We shall see if the messed up.

I’m not sure if it “matters”….but I think that was a WANT pick. Jones has said multiple times since taking over he wants to build from the blue line out. I think they wanted to start there. Not so much a “need”, but it’s kinda similar. Might just be semantics

Thank you. I know Matthews started the OT because he took the opening draw. MJL just keeps embarrassing himself on here day after day. He was probably reading the shift report where some teenager messed up the jersey numbers
- jd250


You were right about Matthews starting and I was right about Nylander scoring the goal.

You know, jd, you keep spouting off and claiming that I just keep embarrasing myself. Those are just words. You have to prove it but you can't. You're not capable of it. There is a public record and you're never going to be able to get away from that. So you can either learn the game and try and rehabilitate your reputation. Or you can keep on spewing nonsense. It's your choice. It's just entertainment for me. You're just left with the only recourse you have of having to make juvenile and childish insults.

Bonk having a bananas D+1 season so far.

That pick looking more and more justified.

I was all in on him! Bonk may turn out to be okay in the long run, but I wanted them to draft Perrault.

Nice excerpt of an interview with Jake Voracek on Nasty Knuckles talking about his relationship with AV and his thoughts on Jones and Briere. It's an interesting perspective.

- jd250
I guess Jake thinks it makes him seem tougher if he uses the F word a lot. He said that Simmer. Giroux, JVR and he knew what it meant to be a Flyer? Only Simmer played that way?

you are making a bad comparison.

Bonk will not put up those points as a pro. he will not be a point producing dman.

That’s ok…will he be a GOOD dman tho? Seems like he’s trending up with that.

he has potential to be a solid dman no doubt. you hope 2nd pair driver.

me i rather take the chance on a much higher ceiing players is all.

Speaking of dman whether the deadline, draft, or free agency. I belive 100% they acquire a big name dman.

I was wanting GP for sure. I just hope he doesn’t murder the flyers when playing the rags. If Bonk can be a very solid 3 man I have decent offensive numbers that may be worth it.

For some reason, I always had a Pronger trade feeling and they would end up getting Hedman on his last year of his contract

The key is the growth he's showing offensively in his D+1 season, which many thought he might not be capable of. He's rounding out his game and that bodes well whether he plays top-pair/PP or a lesser role in the future.

Christ some of you guys are hard to please.
