Is Grans hurt or something? Why isn't he getting a look right now over Johnson?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Starting to think they just might refuse to report here due to Torts.

that would be epic...

 

[tictactoe]

Ovechkin with a hat trick.

 

[mize370]

They're supposedly cleared but their flight was cancelled from Toronto due to weather.

So they probably will play Saturday and then the team goes on their 4 Nations break, lol.

I live close to Toronto Weather is not a factor.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I was hoping the art was going to be the fake flyers versus giant capitalized letters

That's a half-smoke, a local DC sausage sandwich.

 

[mize370]

Can not wait to see what Konecny looks like playing with a real center soon.

 

[ValeriKamensky]

Well I’m not a pessimist but if at the end of 2nd year of “rebuilding” your top-6 C’s are Cates and Abols, obviously something is going not very well

 

[freakydallas13]

I was told the Flyers couldn't trade Laughton last year because players like Foerster and Brink couldn't develop properly if they were playing with poor centers that were left over.

Seems relevant.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

One of the funniest damn skits I've seen in a long time! The second one was good also.

thanks for bringing it to my attention lol

 

[Fight4yourRight]

This might be the worst roster I’ve seen from the Flyers in the past several years.

I had never seen those before. Hilarious.

Well, freezing rain after snow and lots of flight cancellations, including one to Philly: Live Airline Flight Cancellations Info & Statistics - FlightAware

Pearson Departures and search Philly today.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Farabee and Frost get picked up in a private jet, our guys are probably sleeping in an airport waiting for a canceled Spirit or JetBlue flight.

Where's he getting traded?

 

[Rebels57]

This might be the worst roster I’ve seen from the Flyers in the past several years.

It's probably the worst since the early 90's.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

psst its actualy year 3. .

 

[ponder719]

It's probably the worst since the early 90's.

The 06-07 roster probably had a couple game days that looked like this pile, at least. The game after we traded Foppa to Nashville, we ran this out there, and there are at least three people on this roster I didn't remember were ever Flyers (I don't have line combos or pairings):

Dmitry Afanasenkov
Kyle Calder
Jeff Carter
Ben Eager
Todd Fedoruk
Simon Gagné
Denis Gauthier
Derian Hatcher
Randy Jones
Sami Kapanen
Mike Knuble
Alexandre Picard
Joni Pitkänen
Mike Richards
Geoff Sanderson
R.J. Umberger
Scottie Upshall
Alexei Zhitnik
Antero Niittymäki

 

[mize370]

Where's he getting traded?

4 nations

 

[ponder719]

4 nations

Oh, that's right, some people are going to watch that. I forgot.

 

[BiggE]

Starting to think they just might refuse to report here due to Torts.

Please, please, let this happen. It would be beyond hysterical!

Honestly… this roster you provided is better. At least pretty much a full top 6.

A young Richards, Carter, Umberger, and Upshall with Gagne mixed in for good measure is a lot more fun to watch than this group.

Absolutely! I’ll take Richards and Carter over Luchanko any day and, unlike today’s shitty team, they had a 1LW in Gagne.

Oh, and they also had a kid named Giroux in the system. The following year they made it to the conference final. Hands up, who has the 25-26 Flyers playing in the conference final?
