Soooooo #4 in goals (Mr. Neal) and #4 in wins (Mr. Fleury) don't count in mookalookies book?

lol they do but malkin is a beast bar none

Unfortunately none of the fine Sabres fans in Western NY can see the trainwreck that is the Sabres.

its prob better they dont

Kind of like the guy I work with....who is 45 years old. He is a steeler and flyer fan. He grew up in bucks county but most of his family is from pittsburgh area. I get on him from time to time, Steeler and Flyer fan how convenient that must have been in the 70's instead of being an Eagle and Penguin fan.

yea i thought Erhoff was overvalued big time and Leino...everyone knows that.... if Leino was smart he should have stuck with the flyers cause hes god awful without Briere and Hartsy

its prob better they dont
- bigmookalookie

Yeah, but I kinda wish they did.

Yup. Various rooting interests abound. Makes for fun debates at family gatherings. Had I been born and raised in the Burgh, I'm sure I would be a Pens and Steelers fan.

No doubt about it. . . if you grow up in the burgh you MUST be a fan.

I'm not convinced his hip will hold up. Flyers sure made a wise decision letting him leave.

So my Dad says. He left in 1964 pre-Penguins, so that's why he's a Rags fan. Closest original 6 team.

its a goddammed double edged (frank)ing sword

agreed and it shows that the nucks kept the better Dman in Bieska.

Yup. You know the die hards would be watching if they could. Time Warner Cable and MSG are in a contract dispute, so the games aren't televised in Western NY.

Fare enough, at least he has a reason. Its quite funny when I talked to people out here they say "I hate you burgh fans that live here and you have no reason to like pitt sports". . . . they feel pretty dumb when I tell them I moved from pitt.

Absolutely. I like Bieksa much more than Ehrhoff.

for rizzel and I remember when Nucks fans wanted him gone last year until he hit his stride in the playoffs. Bieska then takes a discount to stay on the team and has played excellent ever since.

a) something tells me this won't help protect against concussions;
b) did they model this after Scott Hartnell?


- wilsonecho91

that is awful.

Hell yeah. We need him to continue until we get some of the other guys back.
- kgrpitt

all kidding aside, I think he's the most dangerous player in the league

Well im glad your a Flyer fan
- bigmookalookie

Sorry about earlier. You wanna play a team NHL game? I have a friend who's trying to get 5 players together.

that is awful.

That is hard to look at

Exactly. Everyone is a "new fan" of their team at some point. Unless you are born into it obviously. lol
