    so Holmgren essentially has gotten fired but got a promotion. don't know if that is more sad or more funny.

    always been a fan of Hextall. Glad to see him get the job.

    Highlights of the PC for me:

    "All hockey decisions will be in Hextalls hands"

    "I like young players...and I like draft picks"- Hextall

    "We gotta keep our draft picks and draft and develop well. Gonna build from within"

    "5 on 5 play has got to get better"

    "I think Ron has a Flyers tattoo on his ass." Snider: "What did he just say?"

    Hextall ripping the Oilers for collecting #1 picks year after year...

    I like how he keeps stressing the importance of keeping draft picks and building up the AHL team.....
    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.

    I think it was a decent move. Will be interesting to see what his first move is.

    Holmgren to be President...Hextall new GM according to reports....

    And Berube is the coach?>WOW!!>When i use to follow the Flyers when those guys played, they didn't come across as rocket scientist to me>LOL! I always hated when Berube was on the ice near the end of a CLOSE game for fear of a DUMB penalty.

    Rangers/Pens series was a tough one to watch. Obviously hate the Rangers but i can't stand Crosby and was kinda glad the Rangers won actually. Now hopefully they lose in the next round. :P

    Carter and Richards with big efforts in Game 7 and moving onto the Conference finals for the 4th time in 5 years. all they do is win games.

    too bad that Fixer dude is not around here anymore. he head must be exploding with those 2. although I'm sure like the rest he'd never admit he was wrong about them.

    Carter, Richards, Briere, Justin Williams and Patrick Sharpe still playing. be a nice set of forwards to have wouldn't you say?

    Still around, just dont have time to argue w people i dont respect. He actually defended 'macdonald' (correct spelling) during the rangers series. Hahaha. He is the gift that keeps on giving

    Keep ripping giroux and hamels...and supporting guys like howard, briere, carter and macdonald.

    I hated to see richards go, but that trade made sense. And the carter trade was a steal. People who still talk about this shit are the ones who are pissed they didnt pay ville leino. They will never learn

    Around here we know some folks are never right. Which is why theyre better left ignored. Good luck w that. Youre the ones who cement the imbecile reputation that the rest of the philly fanbase has to consistently overcome.

    Thanks

    I guess calling a guy 'very good' like I did with hamels is considered ripping to some people. and coming from a miserable sob like yourself who doesn't like anything or anyone is pretty fn funny to me.

    briere is one of the top playoff goal scorers of all time. I don't think its a stretch to defend him. and well Carter and Richards just play on teams that win. but fuck who wants to win game when you can have brayden schenn and wayne simmons on your team.

    too bad they didn't fight more against the Rangers. maybe that was the ticket to winning? I know how you think it's still a relevant strategy :))

    not that you will but feel free to answer this simple question. do you still love where this flyers franchise is?

    Carter, Jeff - hat trick game 2 of the conference finals. good effort.

    seriously some team needs to hire the Fixer as a motivational speaker. as soon as he opens his mouth about a guy boom big goals left and right. carter the other night and briere last night. uncanny. awesome

    so that's 3 out of 5 years in the finals for Carter and Richards. I wonder if all those who said Carter sucks will acknowledge they were wrong. 2nd in points, 2nd in goals and 1st in assists in this years playoffs.

    I hope Giroux has been watching the playoffs and realizes you have to shoot the fucking puck as much as possible because so many goals are off bounces. one of the things that drives me crazy about Giroux is he seems reluctant to shoot often and looks to make the great pass instead.

    Carter has some amazing skills, dude is still relatively young as well.
    I have to thank Philly again for trading Carter and Richards away, LA is in position for another cup and neither run happens without those two guys.

    I never said Carter sucks but where was he when the Flyers were in the playoffs? What he's doing now didn't happen here and fucking your teammate's wife will get you shipped to Columbus. Sure it sucks watching them have so much playoff success now. I miss Richards more than Carter.

    Now the question is, Rangers or Kings?
    Alright, alright, alright!

    i don't think the Rangers can beat the Kings unless Lundquist is out of his mind 4 times. I think the Kings in 5. Kings just have too much depth and skill for the Rangers i think.

    Those rumors have been around for years, never substantiated.

    While we are playing what if's, it would have been great if Carter had he elevated that puck another inch over Niemi in Game 6...or had the Flyers gotten even average goaltending against the Hawks that series, they would have won the Cup. Didnt happen.

    Oh, and the Flyers traded Carter to Columbus.Again. He whined his way out of there to play with his butt buddy Richards.

    This SC finals is prob the worst match up for a Flyer fan. I gotta root for the Kings tho, as a real Flyers fan, you absolutely cannot root for the N.Y. Rangers.
