    anyone see crosby drop the gloves last night? he punches like a gay...what a mary

    EDIT: just saw the thread dedicated to this. I would love to see richards tune his ass up

    yeah...he rag dolls the guy instead of standing toe-to-toe because he doesn't want to get hit

    At least he does drop the gloves occasionally

    He would never fight Richards....Giroux or Briere maybe

    Boogard's reach is unbelievable

    Poor fight overall not much landed

    The Flyers last year didn't even have a guy who could take on the heavyweights like Orr..Goddard..and the Boogey Man

    he is probably the best passer, stick to stick, i have ever seen play for the Flyers. The guy is amazing with the puck. Hope they lock him up for a long time as he has the chance to be one of the best ever for this franchise.

    This is how bad it is right now around here. Our next hope is the Flyers.

    Sorry to be a dick, Uber-Flyer Fans. Mostly just busting balls. Go Flyers.

    I will never love hockey as much as I did during the lindros-era, but I will always love the flyers.

    They represent Philly and hockey playoff games are pretty friggin sweet, it's just the sport and the "real" die-hards - ya know, the straight up Flyers nerds - that make me go meh for the most part. And not to mention they totally changed the sport when the abstract gun was put to their head.

    Baseball
    Football
    Rugby
    Basketball
    Rowing - yeah, I said it





    Hockey

    I hear you about the diehards. I'd take the NHL over the NBA any day. MLB should be further up...like you have hockey buried. baseball is miles ahead of the other sports as far as league product.

    I did crew in college for 3 days. Some chick on my floor was into it and I was trying to get in her pants. she asked me to join and I said yes. The fourth day she came knocking on my door at 430 AM after I had been out til 2. I told her I quit. Fuck that noise

    Yeah, my appreciate for both crew and rugby are out of playing them. Kind of like how a lot of people are with hockey. I rowed all through high school and a year in college. Then I realized I wasn't getting a scholarship so I said F that S, so why not join the rugby team, hit people, and follow that up by getting blind drunk. I was on the Schuylkill every morning at 4:45 am then back out there after school at 4 pm . Still can't believe I did that shit. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

    But yeah, MLB is sweet - a perfect balance between players and owners. Only the fans got screwed for a season. :roll:

    Hockey has pretty much fallen into the die-hards only

    In the 90's it kind of peaked in it's poularity then the crappy TV deals they have signed pretty much left the sport to the die-hard fans

    You don't find too many casual hockey fans...which is fine by me

    Not like other sports where it's cool to be a fan of a team because they are good...hockey has been number one for me since I was kid even though I played more baseball then hockey

    I just don't like it when people bad mouth it without knowing shit about it...if you're not a fan that's cool don't watch it. Majority of us on here are fans of all the sports...I don't care for Basketball but the other 3 count me in

    i don't even care. watch it, don't watch it. bad mouth it. hockey is a fun sport to watch. playoff hockey is by far the best playoff season to watch.

    however, the as a single game, the superbowl could be more intense.

    That's the funny thing that I run into with a lot of my buddies - whom are all huuuuge Flyers fans. The biggest way I can piss them off is by rolling my eyes at them, and they just retort with "oh you just don't understand it". I always love that remark, because the thing is Ido understand it.

    Just be forewarnded I'll be in here a bit because I like shooting shit with Philly people. :thumbup:

    the litmus test I use for sports is...can I watch non-philly teams play?

    baseball - absolutely
    football - only if I have money on the game (which is usually the case)
    hockey - no
    hoops - no fucking way

    I think a game 7 in the world series is the most intense sporting event. Every pitch is huge. a game 7 in hockey would be next. then the super bowl, which usually sucks. that's more of an event than a game to look forward to

    that game 7 vs boston last year was amazing. one of the craziest philadelphia sporting events I've ever watched

    MLB - rarely
    College football - yes if it's a good game or a bowl game
    NFL - early season, and championship games
    NHL - rarely
    NBA - rarely
    college basetball - only watch the tourney

    Are we talking NBA, or basketball in general? Because the NCAA tournament is one of the greatest sporting events on the planet, even if you don't have any money on the line.

    Basketball is the single biggest sport that becomes diluted when money becomes part of the equation. When I lived at 20th and Catherine, I'd go down to the corner of Washington Ave. to watch the tourneys.
