if we are looking for revenge, i think the bhawks would be more appropriate. many of those players are still on the team - FlyerMike18
I don't care who we go through, I just want to win. I couldn't care less that the Phillies won in 08 vs TB insetad of the Yanks. It was sweet regardless.

For anyone who cares, the NHL has ditched the whole "History Will Be Made" postseason commercials and are replacing them with a "Because It's the Stanley Cup" promo.

I'll say this. When the Flyers play as they did last night, with the total team game. They can play with anyone in the League. And I think they can come out of the East if it continues. - MJL
I agree but think PEN is playing better hockey right now (and Sid is coming back!). Our next game with them will be a real good barometer.
Funny how the fates work out sometimes in hockey. Last March, Grossmann suffered his season-ending MCL tear in a game against the Flyers. At the time, he was on the Stars' top defensive pairing with Stephane Robidas, playing the best hockey of his career.
This season, prior to the trade to the Flyers, he was on the second and third pairings for most of the season, seeing somewhat reduced ice time and playing less consistently well than he did last year.
The Stars, consequently, were a little more reluctant to give him a multi-year extension in the price range he can command on the UFA market. As a result, when the Stars were teetering in the brink of falling out of the playoff race (before their current 10-0-1 run), they were finally willing to trade Grossmann.
In an indirect way, if not for the knee injury last year, there's a very good chance Grossmann would be a Star and not a Flyer now. Again, it's strange how those sorts of things go sometimes.

Sorta like how if it were not for the Flyers trading for Eric Lindros, we probably wouldnt have Hartnell or Timonen!

What's that saying? Everything happens for a reason??
YAY FOR A SEASON ENDING KNEE INJURY!!! Oh wait
Good lord though, if Homer doesn't bring him back I will riot in the streets of West Philly....
Just that it's one of those odd little twists of fate in a player's career. - bmeltzer
Grossmann is exactly what the Flyers needed. I'm glad Homer was able to add him before the deadline. I didn't believe the Flyers were a "true" contender until they added both Grossmann and Kubina. They have enough on defense to go far in the playoffs and I like our chances with Bryz in net (playing great at the right time).

I'm sure this has been discussed but what do you think his value on the open market is? Do you think the Flyers will be able to sign him?
