Flett was one of the most colorful players to ever lace em up for the Flyers and was one of my early faves as a young lad.

Re Best D pairs of all time, here are 5 of the best I ever saw:

Larry Robinson/Serge Savard
-Both were huge guys for their era, both could skate and both were skilled.

Bobby Orr/anyone
-Orr played half the game or more every night and usually played with at least 2 partners. It really didn't matter who, because any pair featuring Bobby Orr was one of the leagues best.

Mark Howe/Brad McCrimmon
-Best Flyers pair ever by far. They excelled at every facet of the game and were a ridiculous +173 combined in the 85-86 season.

Nick Lidstrom/Larry Murphy
-They completely took the Legion of doom off their games in the 97 finals (damn them) and they were one of the most cerebral and skilled pairs I ever saw.

Gary Suter/Al MacInnis
-Calgary's dynamic duo could dominate games with their skill and were a huge boost to the Flames offensive attack.

I’d add the Chris Pronger/Scott Niedermayer duo to the list of best defenseman pairs. Niedermayer and Scott Stevens were a formidable pair also.

I’d like to nominate Gudas-Manning

The thing is though, Pronger and Niedermayer, most of the time, played on different pairings with Anaheim, the same way Pronger and Timonen did with the Flyers.

Same with Niedermayer and Stevens. Stevens usually played with Rafalski while Niedermayer usually paired with Daneyko.

You'll have to wait for my sh!ttiest D pairs of all time listing.

Paul Coffey & Charlie Huddy from Edmonton was a good duo. Then again that whole 80's Edmonton was stacked. Bill, congrats on reaching the $1000+ mark for the Charity Classic. I am less than $300 away & hope to hit the mark by Saturday. you Sunda.

As his tenure was one year before my Flyers fandom I always forget that Jean Potvin played for them.

Randy Jones was so good he is considered a pair by himself

Im on a short business trip to Irvine California so have missed the hockey talk last few days but I did see JoeGrief and his 96 years of experience posting last night?

Apparently, he broke out of the nursing home.

He stays up late for a man of his age. Props to him.

I’m sure he could illuminate us of his personal stories of watching Toe Blake and Howie Morenz.

This could be a very long list 😳

Old time hockey?

So let's talk about how we improve our penalty kill. I don't see much changing from last season tbh. Thoughts?

Plant some cocaine in Lappy’s car.

Parent/Bartulis

If a playoff game went into 17 OT’s, they would still only play 7 minuets a game.

Hah there is a story on TSN about the Flyers maybe moving G back to the middle.

An opinion piece but made me chuckle.

Instead of composite sticks they should use plastic straws
