    Before the OT started i texted my buddy that Ghost needs the GW goal here. What a play by Jake along the boards to set it up.

    I had no idea that G has more points than anyone in hockey over the last 5 years.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    saw that. still not one of those guys is as good as Carter was here (look up those goal totals) or has been for the past 5 years and we are looking at another non-playoff season so...

    edit: what people overlook is that in the 2 years before the Carter and Richards trade the franchise made a Stanley Cup final and then finished 2nd in the Conference in the next regular season. they haven't achieved either of those since. the franchise took a dive since those trades.

    The bottom line is that those trades were made to free up cap space for what they thought was a franchise goalie like Quick who was the real reason the Kings won cups. That blew up in their face which makes those other trades look worse when they actually were pretty good. Let's not forget that Carter sat out with an "injury" in Columbus because he was butthurt over being traded and basically forced them to deal him again.

    just like ryan howard...you look at carters goal totals to tell the entire story, which is great if you want to be completely incorrect.

    you need to learn from your mistakes. you would think after years of being wrong about everything you would come around. smh

    flyers return for carter is one of the best trades in franchise history. yet you still defend him. why?

    also, the cup run was a fluke. flyers were a 7 seed. got in playoffs in a shootout (ironic) in last game of season. richards knocked out the best boston player in round 2 (because he was a beast)...then got the 8 seeded canadiens in the ECF. haha

    coming out of those cup finals they were not build for success after they gave carter and richards long term deals. their returns on those trades were overwhelmingly successful. the struggles that the franchise has experienced are not related to those trades. since the cap was implemented, the flyers failed to adapt more than any other team (mainly because they used to outspend everyone for their talent). they gave awful contracts to lecavalier, macdonald, hartnell -- replaced by umbergers contract which was a great move, bryzgalov, pronger -- obviously tainted by injury, etc.

    flyers are in good hands. but to say they were close to a cup with carter is just flat out stupid.

    sell, sell, sell...and lose out. let's get a top 5-7 pick to add to provorov, konecny, morin, sanheim, hagg, etc

    i defend Carter because you and many others in these parts said he sucked. You also famously said that every team in the league had 5 forwards better than Carter. It was an absurd premise then and still might be. the guy averaged over 30 goals per season here and is still playing at a high level. he never did and still doesn't suck. hopefully one of the 3 guys (well actually 1 and 2 draft picks) end up with a career as good as Carters.

    Awesome save.

    Have said it before here, will keep saying it: Thank you for Jeff Carter.
    (BTW, the Vinny and Schenn trade is working out well too.)
    Kings are ready for another cup run and it would not be possible without them.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    It's weird that we still argue over things like this but I guess that's what makes sports so much fun. No one can deny Carter's regular season scoring ability but when it came to the playoffs his scoring took a big nose dive and he missed games. I really think they made the decision and traded them to roll the dice on Bryz and we all know how that worked out.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Let me also add regarding VLC and the Kings. Vinny has fallen back to earth to how he was playing here. L. Schenn has played well for them and fits perfect into their team. The other side of that coin, B. Schenn has taken off since his brother was traded off the team.

    I dont see that happening at all. This team needs some forwards with size and Drouin would prob cost you Sanheim, a very good draft pick and a roster player.
    Stay the course, Hextall.
