Bill, when do you think Fletcher will have the conversation with G about waiving his NMC?

I’m sure tonight will be another fine showing by captain comfortable. Playing the Islanders on the road you know they will match the G line with their superstar 4th line lol & just like the bubble playoffs the G line will get out scored by the phenomenon that is Matt Martin haha. What a disgrace

How dud you spend your semipro check this weekend?

Hilarious that talking about captain comfortable being outplayed by the Islanders 4th line you revert the conversation to talking about me. Those checks stopped coming long ago but if they ever come again I’ll give you whatever is left over to help with your spelling. How “dud” that sound. Are you Ek’s son?

Sounds like my fat fingered typos are infinitely more intelligent, poignant and interesting than anything youve ever posted

I don’t know for sure if your fingers are fat but what I do know is that the Islanders 4th line regularly outplays captain comfortable

LETS GO FOR 10 AGAIN BOYS

I still cannot believe the amount of NYR fans in the seats. I went to a few games in 06-07 and it wasn’t like that. Seeing all those rangers fans in the lower bowl is a joke but they’re paying customers so what does Comcast care?

Compare the seat prices. Add in easy travel via train or bus.

Rangers fans in the seats is the best thing I have heard for a while. Flyers are turning into the Redskins whose home games are taken over by other teams fans. This may get Comcast's attention.

Risto out of protocol.

Good point. Hate this on my phone. Flagged it by accident.

I've never been a proponent of barring visiting teams fans from sitting in certain areas, or even having the ability to buy tickets, like some teams do....As for being sad to see so many opposition fans at games, that's understandable, but it's a product of being at the bottom of the league. This would happen for years in places like Edmonton. While the organization could boast a sellout, despite the teams performance, the arena would be filled with fans of out of market teams.

that may negatively hurt his trade value.

I've lived in Raleigh and South Fla. I've seen a lot of games at both arenas. There are always a lot of visiting teams fans in the arenas. I'm guessing less so now that both teams are relevant. I used to pick up Flyers ticks in Raleigh on game day. Could get 2 seats for under $20. The building was empty. You could sit anywhere.

Skins would not accept calls for home tickets from opposing team area codes (412, 215, 610). I think the clinical description for this reaction is attacking the symptom but not the cause.

Fans wearing bags on their heads when they go is also a good tactic. IIRC, one team even set this as grounds for expulsion from the arena.

I wouldnt be surprised if they have spoken about it already. The team will likely deal him to a contender and sign him back as a FA.

Looking for the Flyers to Wright the ship tonight

I guess you will be shocked then when he doesn’t get moved/and or you can blame the GM saying he dropped the ball. The reality of it is captain comfortable isn’t what a cup contender is looking for

If it wasnt for Ranger fans there they would have had a half empty arena

Bill I know it’s early but if you were Gm does any players interest you that would be fit for a possible trade target ?
