The Big E invited to the Winter Classic weekend !

Q: There have been some rumors going around in Philly that you’ve been invited to play in the Winter Classic Alumni game. Is there any truth to that?

Eric Lindros: I talked with [Flyers GM] Paul Holmgren about a month or five weeks back and we chatted about it. That’d be great if I could see Mikael Renberg again, and Johnny LeClair. I haven’t seen Johnny in a couple of years. That would be a lot of fun. Also possibly we could set up something along the lines where we could do something for CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), maybe have a lunch or do something along those lines. We could bring in hockey fans and chat a little bit about what we’re up to and sign a bunch of stuff

THE LEGION OF DOOM!!!

was wondering if he would get an invite. so glad to see that he will be there. my favorite Flyer of all-time. what a beast he was. if only he played under these rules today.

Jeff Carter(notes), the Columbus Blue Jackets’ major offseason acquisition, has a hairline crack on the top of his right foot and may be held out of Tuesday’s home game against Dallas.

he was finally also diagnosed with chronic vaginitis

Lindros and Reid are two things we agree on. I loved lindros too

Good start. We should destroy this team.

The Fixer

Giroux is an absolute monster.

I'm liking the new '17' as well. Refreshing.

I think Bob is asleep in the net...not much action for him tonight

Senators blow.

could be a few more fights...for some reason these two teams always like to mix it up.

With Neil you never know what to expect and the same with Konopka, Read's shot sure surprised Auld lol

Walker blows

does Shelly get back in the line up for the next game?

i expected a few more fights the way this game was going.

nice win....sort of odd that Bob skated off right after the final horn vs. haning out in the crease and taking congradulations there....thinking he's none to happpy about the back up role

Johnny Abruzzo

This team is pretty good.

Don't know if we'll win the Cup or anything like that, but this is definitely a contending team. Big FU to the stupid Red Wings fans coming in here talking about the "rebuilding" after the Richie/Carter trades. For being "Hockeytown" they really are clueless.

any good site to see time on ice by player?

it's still way early...if you remember in 09 they got off to a shit start and made the finals. last year they got off to a great start then played like shit for big chunks of the season.

it's good to get off to that solid start but there are still 77 games to go. lot can happen.

that said. i like the team. they have a lot more team speed then in the past. i still think they could use a little more size up front which concerns me in a 7 game series. it also seems Claude is out there all the time, which worries me about the top players wearing down later in the year.

Yea I know it's a long season. I'm still very confident that they are going to the playoffs, which doesn't sound like a "rebuilding" job to me. What happens when they get there? Well we'll see. They've done better as a 6 or 7 seed than as a 2 seed.

81

I'm not worried about making the playoffs...but i would like that #1 seed.

i never thought of this year as a rebuilding year. more like a retooling year. i also didn't think they would get out of the gate this fast....should be a fun season
