No new guys again tonight. lol.

Visa issues my ass.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Ovechkin should feast on the Flyers tonight. No loser points tonight. Just a loss.

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

Creating lines solely based on the listed players:

Gagne-Carter-Knuble
Sanderson-Richards-Upshall
Calder-Umberger-Kapanen
Fedoruk-Afanasenkov-Eager

vs

Konecny - Couturier - Michkov
Foerster - Cates - Brink
Richard - Laughton - Hathaway
Deslauriers -Abols - Gaucher

Neither is ideal but I choose the group with Gagne, Knuble, Umberger, and young Carter and Richards. I like guys like Foerster and Brink but I can't see them remotely nearing the primes of Carter or Richards (who broke out shortly after 2007) at any point. Oh, and Upshall was fun for a time, too. There's no notable forwards in today's group beyond the first line.

If I remember correctly, Richards got to have Sami Kapanen and Dimitri Afansenkov as linemates. Carter got Sanderson and Umberger. Good times. Good times.

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

But the culture. Think of the culture. Who needs skill when we are oozing with culture

 

[Nizzle]

The real question is: for tonight's game, would you take Fedoruk or Deslauriers?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

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.

Once again roster players vs cap dump and waiver fodder. Not the same thing

Your right, but I also find it hilarious that Frost and Farabee have the red carpet rolled out for them in Calgary with a private jet, while the Flyers' additions get "I don't phone people" from Torts and are stuck in an airport in another country for a week.

A better comparison of 2 franchises you couldn't make.

Kuzmenko and Pelletier are probably so sick of eating airport burger king.

One prides itself on being a premiere destination for players.

 

[BiggE]

I cannot imagine having to play for this narcissistic piece of shit.

 

[tade]

Where is Kuzmenko and Pelletier?? Are they ever going to play? This Flyers line-up is just ridiculous, I am sorry, but that's just sad.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I think I've watched just about every team outside Flyers games besides Vancouver and Washington. Which is stupid because Washington has to be the most interesting team in the East right now. How the hell are they getting these results?

-Thompson
-Progression by McMichael, Protas, and Strome
-Ovi scoring like he's 20 again
-Improved defense
-Carbery=good

 

[mize370]

Dlo line starting haha love it. Wonder why we cant score

Kuzmenko probably went back to Russia rather than play for the God Emperor. Pelletier took witness protection.

 

[BiggE]

I don’t know what Washington’s cap situation is going into next year or what their plans might be, but I can absolutely see the Flyers offering Chycrun a massive deal because he’s big and you know, his dad once played for the team.

They are nothing if not predictably idiotic.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s times like this I wish that Tortorella decided to hire someone that actually knew something about offense when he publicly stated that he would need someone that knows about that side of the ice because he didn’t know anything.

Instead we got Rocky Thompson.

 

[BiggE]

Who did Amy Fadool piss off to get sentenced to working a Flyers game?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Michkov looks dialed in today.

Great pass to Couts.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Shut up, JJ. You always have a mouthful.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

**** York for denying an Ovi goal

 

[04hockey]

nice hustle York

 

[mize370]

Richard, Laughton & Konecny. lol Thats how you treat your best player
