nice win against a team that didn't start most of their stars, but i'll take it. They have a good chance and beating the Caps. They beat them a few weeks ago pretty handily.

Kind of limped into the playoffs, but a great achievement for a team that wasn't supposed to make playoffs. This roster is short on talent, so Hakstol getting them to playoffs is nothing short of amazing. He has proven to be a great hire. This team has a really exciting future.
Flyers will be significant underdogs vs the caps. From here on out they are playing with house money. That said, I would love nothing more than to see them win the series.

Yep, and I wldnt be surprised at all to see them win this series. I had them at a lock for a top 10 pick this year, this is all bonus right now.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
On a down note: from what I have read, it does not sound like Ed Snider is doing well at all. He is battling skin cancer.
yeah, was just reading about that yesterday. sucks
also read that the wizards are home on wednesday night so the flyers series won't start until thursday or friday night (I'd guess they would start on Thursday night for TV rating purposes)
RIP Mr. Snider. Didn't always agree with you, especially during the Lindros era and how Eric was treated here, but you always had a passion that was almost unmatched. Franchise will never be the same.

A loss for Philly, sorry to learn of this. Impressive feat to make the playoffs after such a shit start. Dangerous team....Kings made the playoffs on the last day of the season as the #8 seed and won the cup a few years back. You gotta believe.
Very good owner for fans of the team and the players.
However, he created a bloc of Comcast Sports and his teams that is very bad for the fans and the free market.
Yep, I've had directv for 16 years now. I can only watch the Flyers on Wednesday Nights and a few other games sprinkled in. I get every other CSN but the one I want. It's no wonder my 2 kids are DC sports fans.

Ed Snider took a little Hispanic kid in when I worked down there. He met him through the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation and for some reason, Snider really took to the kid. His name was Geraldo and he was allowed to do WHATEVER he wanted in the arena. Had team made jerseys with his name and all. All of the event staff were told to basically let him go anywhere and do whatever he wanted. He was allowed on the court, always had a courtside seat even when Snider wasn't around, was allowed in locker rooms after the games, etc. Also, he was a little piece of shit. He even had a cubicle in the Sixers offices. Before one Sixers game (I witnessed this in person), the daughter of a certain former Phillies' GM who was working for the Sixers was trying to get work done while little Geraldo was blasting rap music. She kindly asked him to turn it down and his was response was "would you like me to call Mr. Snider to see if I have to turn it down?". There are many stories along these lines, but my favorite Gerlado story happened in the Lexus Club. I had my family and a couple friends in town and we were all at a Sixers game for fun. We were in the Lexus Club where Snider, his wife and Geraldo were sitting eating. My buddy was staring at them for a good 5 minutes when he realized that Snider would take a bite of a chicken wing put it down and Geraldo would pick it up and finish the rest of it off. The lasting image of Ed Snider for me will always be a little hispanic kid eating his chicken bone scraps in public and he and his wife either not noticing or acting like it was completely normal.
Found out a couple years later that Geraldo fucked it up and wasn't allowed around anymore. Big surprise.

How old was this kid?
Probably between 10-12, I would guess...
sounds more like a sandusky story to me. you sure you're not getting them mixed up?
