Memories.

Alfie's work effort? Certainly. His on ice antics? Not at all.
And what great things did Giroux accomplish as the flyers captain? No much at all.

Wat.

- longest serving captain in flyers history
- second in games played, points and assists
- 8th in goals
- first in OT goals and shootout goals
- 95 playoff games, 28 goals, 53 assists, and a +6

Not bad at all for a franchise with some historic players.

What on ice antics lol?

Being the fiercest competitor we've ever had ?

Or being the best two way player we've had?

I heard that we called the Flames and offered them Brady for Conroy.

As a fan I see there lots of “it’s not them it’s us” out there

Brad Marchand said it best to a Bruins fan online who said about the Bruins Cup “we won a Cup” and Marchand said “you didn’t win shit, we the players won the Cup”

The players kinda hate us, so does the media. Ottawa fans are the most disrespected group of fans in the NHL, dont self hate

But we are entering an ugly time to be a fan, brother will turn in brother, media will blame the fans. You’re a good fan, so am I.

But we do have some blame here. Brady is a big strong horse with a cardboard horn glued to his forehead. We're the ones (along with the team and media) who made him out to be a unicorn.

We all pump up these kids so much, they think all they have to do is show up and wins will be given to them. None of the guys on the team right now are giving a 60 minute effort. And it goes well beyond this core. This has been a problem for decades. We shower love on these guys because we're so afraid of be rejected and losing them. Fact is, players move on. Not everyone will want to play here, and we should have more pride in ourselves and our city to say ok, cya!, when they want to go or don't appreciate playing here.
