holmgren finally is talking some sense. anybody who watched the flyers play back in the early to late seventies knows what paul is talking about. i remember the night barry clemens a player from the oakland seals hit clarke over the head with his stick, and the benches emptied. there was blood all over the ice, it was such a beautiful thing to witness. i think every player on the flyers nailed clemens while he was lying on the ice, including bernie. watching hockey today is not like the old days, it can get pretty boring.

Are you a Rangers “fan,” or a Shitsburgh “fan?” I can’t figure it out. They’re both so witty with their comments that it’s sometimes difficult to differenciate.

Where in this article do you even remotely see a hint of any player saying they don’t like playing in Philly? Especially from Jagr who is quoted in a NJ article saying this:

“Jagr would like another season in Philadelphia.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a problem because, from my side, I’m happy,” he said. “I don’t want to go anywhere.”

You’re right. Sounds like he can’t stand the city or the fans. It’s one thing to be anti-philly… But when you make things out of something that isn’t there.. You look like a fool..

Hahaha. Waah, we don’t have the kind of guys here to play physical-great stuff jagr. It’s clear that even the players on the flyers hate the people in Philly. I wouldn’t want to play for those smelly war hero beating scumbags either. Very telling article

Better get that PK fixed. You don’t go anywhere in the playoffs without a reliable PK.

As a Flyers fan who has watched every game, I would agree with players trying to do too much. I also think thats why Claude is slumping because he feelsl like he needs to backpack the team, when in reality they have, and have had the best scoring spread offensively for the past three seasons. (most players with double digit goal tallies etc etc).

Thank you Captain Obvious. A very good point that I don’t believe any other Flyer fan would have figured out. Your critical thinking and analysis of this situation is greatly appreciated, please bless us with you genius more often in the future.

The problem with the flyers is that they are too offensive minded when they are at home. those penalites they are taking are mostly lazy penalties from over extended shifts (hooking, etc…). tired penalty killers later in games is not a good mix. i also think that bryzgalov gets caught up in the same over excitement or need to please.

Bring back the Cooperalls. That’s how most of the brawls started anyways, with the other team making fun of their pants.

I hope this was said in jest. As we saw with the Pens/Isles, all bench clearing brawls do is bring bad press to the sport. Reading it, it sounds like he was just saying it in passing, not like he actually wants his team to get into a 1987 Habs/Flyers playoff brawl.
