Really pleased to have four effective lines that we can roll. We have versatility and flexibility. The ability of any of the lines to score is going to put a lot of pressure on the opponent’s D.To everyone who’s been saying for months that the team would be better off with Rantanen instead of good depth: where are you hiding now?
The PP is so much better without his lazy ass standing there waiting for the puck to come to him.
The guys we have now move their feet and make the PP far more dynamic.
Ya it's also a bit misleading because Giroux was never known for his goal scoring prowess. Any way you slice it though, Cale scores goals at a rate rarely seen for dmen.
So weird that he wasn’t given the absolute howitzer if a one-timer he had.
No I was okay with him in Philly, I kinda soured on him after he seemed to pout his way out of Lumbus (but I guess...if you don't want to sign there, don't sign there), but it was that cheap shot on Cale that really turned me against him. I always thought he was kinda dirty before that, but that solidified it for me. Obviously not based on any real logic, just me being a homer and what not.
Weren't there some salacious rumors as well that forced at least Carter out? -- on top of the classic Flyers desire to take it out of the oven when it's half done. I can't recall if those were ever debunked.
There was the whole "Dry Island" thing that came out later, I don't know how much credence to give those sorts of stories. I really don't think the organization that embraced the legend of the Broad Street Bullies gave a shit how hard they partied off the ice.
Well, I trust your opinion. I certainly don't think he's a bad person, but I didn't like that hit. Whatever, it's in the past now. His name is on the Cup twice, his legacy is secure. I'll never deny the guy was a hell of a hockey player though.
Now why would you do something like that?
