R.I.P. Beast, you are missed.

Ratcliffe-Frost-Farabee, yup, could see that line lighting it up for the Flyers in a couple years.

As you’ve pointed out before, if Strome can just get his skating to the point where he can keep up at ES at the NHL level, he could end up being a very good player. He’s smart, skilled and big, skating is the only question mark.

The time flies like crazy, it is already 8 years (not 7) since Yaroslav's team tragedy. I really miss Pavol Demitra...one of the greatest hockey minds ever skating the ice.

Farabee said he's at 180.

Gordon on Rubtsov: "It’s just a practice. We’ll see in the games but he’s a smart player and I think that’s one of his strengths. I always felt, and again it’s only a 14-game window that I had the opportunity to watch him, even if things weren’t happening for him offensively, he always played well defensively. That doesn’t seem like much. You assume everyone’s always gonna play well defensively but sometimes that gets in players’ heads when things don’t happen for them offensively. They try to cheat and find an easy way to get the offense and he wasn’t like that."

Brad McCrimmon and Mark Howe the best Flyers tandem ever. In the 85-86 season they were a combined +168. Just mindblowing.

yes another 10 pounds would help, but if he's that much of a cerebral player....isn't that about where gagne came in? Either way what i am reading about how the russians are playing i think it may come down to Vorobyev and Rubstov.

haven't seen him play much, but keep hearing he plays with a mean streak at times. The weight will help in the corners......now if he could throw a check like Dennis Gauthier from time to time, oh the smiles.

Flyers went back to the big center ice logo. I know some of you were asking about that before.
