 I ventured onto the Flyers facebook page for Lindros reaction and hooooooo boy we have some stupid fans.

A lot of "WE SHOULD'VE KEPT FORSBERG BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE CUPS" poo poo, along with other Flyers that should have their numbers retired first, including Tim Kerr and Simon Gagne. There was also one guy who refused to acknowledge that Lindros was a big reason LeClair had the career that he did, and he very quickly resorted to calling people snowflakes and having your/you're usage issues.

Congrats Eric!!

 Lindros and Forsberg put up similar career numbers and basically played the same amount of time. But in short, I think the argument (the Cup argument mostly) gets skewed due to the Avs being handed Patrick Roy for essentially nothing.

 Philly's stadium will always be the FU Center to me. For a time the naming was owned by a bank called First Union, so naturally yeah.

Is Chris Therien the fat guy who sits near the benches and yells the most obvious comments all game?
Yep. He lost a ton of weight and looked like a deflated balloon for a minute, but I think he evened out a bit

I'm now in St Louis, so I guess I'll find out if the local media here is any good for Blues games.
They've got a decent crew. Darren Pang is their TV color guy.

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this, but I don't hate it.

 The freakishly close calls were annoying, but I've seen a fair share where it was blatantly obvious the play was onside. They can be used as an extra timeout, really.
