    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

    Speaking of Rugby....did you see the Canberra Raiders guy?

    The guy with the dog? Yeah. Sick.

    Apparently another dude is about to get kicked out of the league for something along the same lines. Crazy shit.

    Can't wait till it's on NBC for the World Cup. That's huge. I'm thinking about planning a trip to NZ as a part of my exit from college.

    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

    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:

    You're evil


    So I will be doing this a lot :roll:

    I'm happy to have the Flyers as our city's next big hope. It's just depressing that the playoffs don't start for another 8 years. :? The NHL is a spectacular product, except for the stupid shootouts (even if it worked out for us last year).

    As for watching other teams:
    1- baseball (it's just the best sport ever invented; I even watched that awful World Series)
    2- college hoops (every game is intense, every basket matters, all year long)
    3- NFL (conf championship Sunday is one of the best sports days of the year)
    4- NHL (any playoff game is exciting; reg season I have trouble watching any non-Flyers game)
    5- college football (it can be exciting, but the games are endless and the bowl system is stupid)
    6- NBA (I can't even watch the Sixers - prob the last full NBA game I watched was in 2001, on the bandwagon)

    It was lightning in a bottle. Everyone knew the team sucked and was shocked that they kept winning. Even Croce, with trading for Mutombo, knew it was a one-year thing and they needed to go for it. Definitely one of the biggest fair-weather phenomenons I've witnessed (yes I was pretty guilty).

    It's not fair weather as much as how historically bad the Sixers have been since 1986-ish. Harold Katz was the worst thing to happen to that team. Terrible.

    Sixers would be huge in this city if it wasn't for the structure of the NBA and the aforementioned owner. There's a lot of heart out there for this team, but they get treated like shit.

    Sounds like BOB kept them in it

    We have the Isles number over the last few seasons

    That's the problem with the Flyers it's lightning in a bottle and never a true number 1

    The numbers he put up in the KHL were pretty good considering the team he was on was terrible

    He faced a shit load of shots and still had a GAA in the mid 2's and SV% over .920

    He's only 21 so he definitely is still growing and learning...but I've seen too many Tommy Soderstrom's

    If he works out give Homer credit he's picked up some good prospects without draft picks which he trades away like they're nothing
