    I vote for Boush as #1 goalie. Proven postseason performer. (I just said that in the Phils thread too.)

    it's going to be musical chairs in goal for the Flyers. I suspect we will get a heavy dose of Boush and spot starts of Leighton and BOB, until Brian cools off, than the next guy that gets hot will get it for a few weeks.

    Maybe they can trade all three for a stud goalie. :lol:

    Talk of the Winter Classic coming to Philly next year. Maybe Rangers-Flyers?

    it almost has to be the Rangers next year although Luuko disputed that the Flyers have been contacted. Every other major US city team other than LA has been included so far. I would think maybe Rangers at Detroit or possibly even Toronto or Montreal. Can't see them coming to Philly next year at this point. Maybe 2 or 3 years down the line. Not to mention not sure the Eagles would be so agree-able.

    It won't be Toronto or Montreal. Canadian teams have their own game - the Heritage Classic in February. Detroit doesn't have an outdoor football stadium or a historic baseball stadium (and they're not playing in Ann Arbor). Same with Minneapolis/St. Paul. (well, I guess now they have an outdoor football stadium :lol: ) NY's stadium is used by 2 teams and availability would be tough.

    They already played in Buffalo, Boston, Chicago & Pittsburgh. Only viable places left are Philly, Denver, and, what, Columbus? It's really just process of elimination. Believe me, I'm skeptical of the idea too.

    Are Flyers fans still on the Bob bandwagon? Seems like he's cooled off a bit lately, and it's a long season for someone who never played that many games.

    I'm always on the Boush bandwagon, ever since 5/4/00. It was nice to ride Bob to all those points in the 15 straight games he played, but he got tired out from it.

    Heard they put Leighton on waivers :( They guy stood on his head for them last year in the playoff run but can't carry 3 with Bob and Boush playing really well all things considered. We wouldn't be Philly if we weren't griping about something sports related.
    So many amazing shows! Thank you.

    Flyers physically dominated the Canadiens and Leighton was lousy in the Finals. Boucher did most of the work in the first 2 rounds. I hope Leighton gets claimed.
