I was reading the recap on Yahoo and caught this...


Notes: The Flyers won their 999th home game. They will become the first expansion-era team to hit 1,000 when they reach that milestone.


:thumbup:

during the LA Kings game, and i forget which broadcast i had, they called it a matchup of second 6 teams.

I'm not one to get overly optimistic, but I think this team is winning it all this year if they can stay healthy. They are fucking loaded

stay healthy they got a great shot for sure. i love this team's depth and a big fan of laviolette. this has to be the best flyers team since '87. the lindros years was mostly lindros-leclair and a bunch of stiffs.

dude, the 2000 flyers should have won it all. they were the most talented team in the NHL. I still say that the 2000 team that blew the 3-1 ECF lead to the devils is the most disappointing philly sports event I have witnessed (honorable mention to the eagles team that lost to Tampa and the phils in '10).

laviolette really has made a world of difference.

I wish we could fast forward to april

agree they probably should have won it that year but no way that team was better than '87. that '87 team was awesome and took the greatest modern-era hockey team to the 7th game of the stanley cup finals. that '87 was loaded. kerr, propp, poulin, eklund, tocchet, ron sutter and zezel as forwards. the best defenseman other than pronger the franchise has ever had in Mark Howe along with Brad McCrimmon and the 2nd best goalie they ever had in a young Hextall.

If you remember Booosh stood on his head the majority of that series with the Devils in 2000

We always had trouble with the Devs back then

The '87 team was stacked and rode Hexy...they had a lot of injured players playing also and still took the Oilers to game 7. I think the difference between those teams and this year we have a much more solid defense in front of the goalies. Three solid pairings which we haven't had in years. Of course the depth at forward also.

i really wanted that 04 team to win it. i know they were the best, but how could you not get excited with Primeau basically carrying the team to the confrence finals. that has to be one of the all time great playoff performances by an individual, at least in my flyers memory bank

that year was awesome. game 6 vs tampa was one of the best flyers games I've watched. tampa was a better team that year though. In 2000 the flyers were the best team in the NHL

The only thing this team needs is improvement on the PP. Other than that they have everything they need to win it all.

a better PP would be nice, but with the whistles going away in the playoffs, it's good to know they are dominating at 5 on 5.

I already have a parade route set-up in Toronto when they win. I think Leafs fan should see what it means to cheer a team that cares about it fans.

Nah, dude. You gotta make a pilgrimage if it happens. Double dip both cities. Even if you don't like it, we'll let you be a Philadelphian for a day.

I'd like to see this team not let teams back into games all the time.

Actually, I think they should just win every game 6-0.

wait what....

i can be an ass with the best of them.

i'm hoping all of chicago is at the bears game sunday and hawks tickets go for cheap since the hockey game will end right when the bears game is starting. anybody doing both is either going to leave the hockey game early, or miss the 1st quarter of the bears game.

:?


just offered someone $50 for a lower bowl ticket.

ticketmaster has some seats in the second row behind the philly bench. one of the seats is right next to the walkway to the dressing room. that would be pretty damn cool....but not for $191

That's a grudge match for us. But every game is big for the Hawks - they are fighting just to make the playoffs. I hope they miss it!
