I had to miss last nights game for sleep but it's my understanding that AMac, Manning and Weise looked like the drizzling shits

Who could have seen THAT coming? (Literally everyone but Hakstol could see that coming)

Yeah AMac looked like hot garbage and even banked a puck off his leg and into the net and we all had a big laugh, but those laughs are always followed by the crippling realization that he is still on the Philadelphia Flyers

A very good friend of mine decided to surprise me with a gift and it all tied back to a conversation about hockey we had.

We were out drinking one night and with a group of friends and we were talking about memories of seeing pro teams play when we were growing up and I started talking about seeing the Flyers play and coming close to seeing them when they were in the Cup Final against Detroit in the 90's.

This guy asks, "Didn't they win a Cup at some point?"

I explain how they made it in the 90s, came close in the early 2000s, and again made it in the 2010s.

My friend swears he saw something at a pawn shop or some place that had Flyers cup-winning material on it. It made me laugh, and I told him if he saw it again I would absolutely buy it - owning a 2010 Stanley Cup Winner Philadelphia Flyers hat or coaster or something that was produced just in case would have been funny.

He swears up and down that he saw the same logo on a championship certain something in a store, so one night he comes up to me and surprises me.

"So I got you something," he says. "I realized when I saw it I was completely off but the logos looked the same from really far away, but I figured you would laugh anyway."



Go Flyers Red Wings!

Thanks bud :unsmith: I'll teach u more about hockey someday.......

This is triggering me. 2002 was the year that the Flyers got brutalized in the first round by the Senators. I remember this distinctly because I was in college in Philly and one of my suite-mates was a huge Senators fan. He had a giant Canadian flag hanging on the door to his room, which was right next to the TV. The unbearable goal celebrations in front of that flag as the Flyers floundered and got shut out 3 times in a row will burn in my soul forever.

Haha, wasn't 2002 the same year the Flyers got Adam Oates late in the season or something? The only other thing I remember is that the year before is when they finally traded away Lindros to the Rangers.

I know I've been slamming my fists on this drum enough here as it is and I'm slightly biased because I live in Houston and I miss the hell out of the AHL team, but I feel like Houston not being relatively high on a list of places to expand or relocate to would be a mistake. They've already got an NHL-ready stadium, it's located in downtown, IIRC the venue owns the Aeros name/jerseys/etc., so they've already got a franchise with plenty of history, they can play up the Howe angle, instant cross-state rivalry with Dallas, an established market (as the Aeros drew some of the best attendance numbers in the entire AHL), a huge population obviously, and there's no longer a loving dickhead* in charge of the Toyota Center.

I mean jesus now that the new guy is on board with trying to get a team, I mean fuckkkkkkkkkkk

How is Steve Mason doing, did the Flyers actually make a good move in offloading a goalie or will Neuvirth/Elliott explode at some point.

also some imbecile on ESPN thinks the predators are the "best value in sports" which i guess means he really likes drunk country singers and thinks fat confederates thinking throwing rotting fish on the ice is the height of a civilized society

major cities in the south are typically pretty blue and IIRC Nashville is no different so lol at "fat confederates"
