Coming from ahead as usual.

 

[silverwheels]

Wow, Detroit. You let Devin Fucking Shore score the first goal on you.

 

[silverwheels]

Jesus Duncan Keith is useless.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Flyers get a win for the captain in his 1000th game and probably his last as a Flyer. Dr. SAD!

 

[goblue96]

I won't miss the Teflon Captain. One playoff series win as a captain and that was in a COVID bubble. It was always everyone else's fault.

Didn’t they beat the Penguins with him as captain?

edit: Dickhead Pronger was captain. My mistake, I apologize

Pronger was concussed during that series so Giroux was basically the captain even though he wore the A. So, we are both right!

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Speaking of Pronger, He still counting against somebody’s salary cap?

 

[goblue96]

I think he came off Arizona’s cap a couple seasons ago.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

I think he came off Arizona’s cap a couple seasons ago.

Yeah, my research shows he stopped counting after 2016-17 season. BUM!

 

[Irishman]

Fuck Pronger. I hated that fucking guy. That's the only era of Flyers hockey where I didn't follow them.

Richards was my guy and there was that bit of overlap with them and we all know how Richards’ career turned out, but I was still super upset when they traded him and Carter away to get fucking Ilya “ why you Have to be mad” Bryzgalov

 

[goblue96]

We know the real reason Richards and Carter was traded.

 

[kella]

Caps at Canes. 4 jerseys in line outside, all Penguins fans. Yinzers are so embarrassing lol

They were fucking Bobby Clarke’s wife?

I think one of them is my man @TonyGin&Juice

 

[silverwheels]

Jesus Duncan Keith is useless.

Just gave NJ a goal on a breakaway because he's about as fast as a Lime scooter. Fuckface.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

See ya Claude

 

[silverwheels]

Like Florida needed more help.

 

[goblue96]

PHI sends Giroux, Connor Bunnanan, German Rubstov, 2024 5th rounder, retain 50% of Giroux's salary

FLA sends Owen Tippett, 2023 3rd rounder, 2024 1st rounder

HIghway robbery by FLA

 

[Irishman]

Why the fuck? Should have just kept him and let him walk after the season. Fletcher is fucking embarrassing. Maybe he can bring in Mike Keenan's corpse this off-season and really mail it in next year.

I figure they will resign him in the off-season so something is better than nothing, but man oh man I really hate Fletcher in general

 

[Rutgers Mike]

 

[Rutgers Mike]

German Rubtsov? Who the fuck cares he got traded

 

[Irishman]

Unless they were just looking to dump those guys' salaries, the Flyers should not have been adding players to that deal. Florida stole this deal, especially with the Flyers retaining half G's salary.

Flyers:

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Yeah maybe, but Rubtsov and his 6 points in 37 games in the A seems like an Uber BUM. Not sure if they are near the contract limit threshold or not.

 

[silverwheels]

Spoiler alert: he won't

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Spoiler alert: he won't

You not excited about Derek Brassard?

 

[silverwheels]

You not excited about Derek Brassard?

He’s fine and so is Kulak. Not terribly exciting but they should help, especially if it means less ice time for Keith’s old ass.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

To be fair I was being sardonic. Brassard and Kulak is definitely not “all in”

 

[silverwheels]

LOL, Holland was never going to go all in anyway.

 

[BearDownUofA]

What a refreshing change, especially with the Blackhawks getting something in return for Fleury. I'm sure Bowman would've let him walk in free agency.

 

[silverwheels]

That's why you're a fucking BUM, Kenny. Smith should be soylent green by now. Koskinen is fine as a #2 and if they think Skinner is the future then why the fuck is he still in Bakersfield? Oh yeah, because Kenny gave 39-year-old Smith a two-year contract. Archibald is also fucking useless. Eat a dick.

 

[silverwheels]

Kill me, Pete (again)

 

[silverwheels]

At least Edmonton got a point from Colorado on the road.

 

[CJ_24]

I don't know shit about hockey. What should I make of this Minnesota team trading for Fleury?

 

[BearDownUofA]

Holy fuck, that is a special kind of awful.

 

[silverwheels]

Befitting that trash franchise, though.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Holy fuck, that is a special kind of awful.

Stick to football. It’s great, and I hate the Leafs

 

[Rutgers Mike]

I don't know shit about hockey. What should I make of this Minnesota team trading for Fleury?

Went all in. I dont love Fleury, but he’s better than Talbot and Kahkonen who they shipped out. Can he carry them to a Stanley cup final? Yeah. Plus they only gave up a second for him if they don’t get to the conference finals.

 

[BearDownUofA]

It’s great

No, it's not.

 

[Irishman]

It looks like every other dark jersey with dark numbers in the league to me to me.

It’s reversible. The inside is much worst. And a Bieber designed it

Thankfully they can't use the reverse version in-game.

But how do you know they… can’t?

 

[silverwheels]

Shitty ass Oilers D and goaltending strikes again

 

[silverwheels]

If the Oilers don’t completely collapse and miss the playoffs they’ll get swept in the first round again. Please baby Jesus let this happen

 

[silverwheels]

Hate to say it but Gaudreau is really good.
