Jeff Carter with a hat trick as the Kings move to 10-1 in the playoffs against the #1, 2 and 3 seeds in the West. Crazy run they are on right now.

what's worse for Flyers fans, Henrik Lundquist taking the Cup down Broadway or Carter and Richards taking it down Hollywood Blvd.?

I'm actually pulling for the Kings..they have that "look"

I wish Gags was playing to get his ring the right way

Roll-Call on the Flyers - West

Richards,Carter,Williams,Gagne (hurt)

Asst Coach Stevens,Asst GM Hextall and their GM Lombardi used to be a scout for the Flyers

Nice game for Carter, even if one puck happened to bounce off his foot.

I still like Richie, even with his stupid Yankees hat.

Wouldn't mind at all if the Kings won it. Flyers still have a bright future from those trades.

hilarious that you have to post this since it's your boy carter's first decent career playoff game. he's still a turd

I still love richards. I'd much rather see LA win than the NYR

So, the *only* Flyers fan in my office (I live in Pittsburgh) was wearing his Flyers stuff all through the first two rounds of the playoffs and making a big deal of it to everyone, which is fine, whatever.

Comes in this past Friday on casual day, wearing a Kings tshirt, which he proudly waltzes over my desk to show off. Best part: Its a KOPITAR shirt. :roll:

I do not understand.

Haha, yeah, I mean I thought the same thing at first. But this actually knows his hockey and has apparently liked the Flyers since he was a kid (which is how he came to be a Flyers fan in the heart of Pittsburgh), so I was just a little thrown off since he wasn't the average fan fraud we've all witnessed.

That thread is hilarious though.

is it wrong that I don't want LA to win just because as a flyers fan i will get tired of hearing all these people talking about how stupid the richards/carter trade was?

I still want the yotes to win just so that I can see Bettman talking about himself and how he is so happy that there is still a team in the desert.

1st year he has been healthly in the playoffs. not sure if you've watched any games but he is killing penalties as well. i never was the biggest richards fan but you have to give carter and richards credit as they are looking like they are on their way to their 2nd cup finals appearance in 3 years. for all the ass kissing of holmgren and the trades he made that's got to sting a bit.

37 years without a cup hurts :fp:

no it's not wrong, but when you turnover a franchise 2 years removed from a stanley cup finals appearance and one year after a division title you have to expect to take some shit after everyone was kissing your ass for all the great moves you made...and then your team failed miserably in the 2nd round of the playoffs. regardless of personal feelings about richards and carter it's hard to say short-term the trades worked out. until the flyers get back to a Cup with the new players, especially if carter and richards make another, how can that be an argument? it's about winning ultimately. seeing this franchise fail in the playoffs again hurts. 37 freaking years

I Don't think you can fault management for the trades of Richards and Carter. Management knew what was going on behind the scenes better than the fans. Richards wasn't much of a leader supposedly and Carter, Mr. Softee, would get hurt every year in playoffs and come up small when he wasn't hurt. I had no problem with the trades back then and don't now.

I don't think anyone imagined they would be on the same team again.

i wouldn't ultimately judge it after one year, but if in 2 or 3 years this team hasn't made it back to a Cup with these players than managment ultimately has to be faulted unless someting unforeseen occurs (injuries to brzy and/or giroux for example).

when you really think about it it really is a crazy number. for as good as this franchise has been over the years to not have won one since 1975 is crazy.

I don't see how anyone can be disappointed with the carter trade. couturier is already a better player than carter and you could make an argument that voracek is close as well. that was a flat out steal. if carter wins the cup with LA it will be the same as burrell winning a ring with SF...not like either player was a main cog in those teams

I think the flyers did well in those trades. If you want to rip them for anything it should be the bryz contract, not the richards/carter deals

Phantom Pain

I agree Carter had to go and last I Checked we didn't trade Carter
to LA ?

Also, their goalie is out of his mind this season something Carter/Richards never had here

I don't have regret with the Richards trade I think Schenn is showing signs of being a Richards type player

Giroux doesn't become the player he is if those trades aren't made

I think I read Quick lost 10 games this year 1-0 ?!?!

love couturier and agree he will be much better than carter and even richards in the long run. voracek is nowhere near carter. voracek is decent at best. i just think you are way too hard on carter. he's not nearly as bad as you think. hopefully couturier, schenn with giroux are going to be the anchors to a Cup in the near future. i just want this franchise to win one...soon.

Schenn is going to be better than Richards. Plus you got Simmonds.

F Carter.
