Again: Simply not factually correct. Simply not.

Let's play guess the goalies:

62GP 5SO 2.59gaa 30-20-9 0.918

59GP 6SO 2.53gaa 34-18-6 0.918

Now, one of those goalies played for the Flyers under Jeff Reese. The other played for another team, in the same season.

Now tell me this: Are you really ready to say that those seasons aren't comparable?

The first goaltender is Martin Biron. The second goaltender is Ryan Miller, from Buffalo. So tell me again how Jeff Reese gets fired again for "goaltending that is horrid year in and year out?"
- AllInForFlyers

So Biron is just as good as Miller?

Retail engravers mainly use two different processes. The first and most common 'Diamond Drag' pushes the diamond cutter through the surface of the material and then pulls to create scratches.

This guy's funny

Luke schenn was good for 48 gms and that's good, but the flyers wanted a top pairing dman going into the off season and ended up w/ a nice stay-at-home type, needing a puck mover and a scoring winger...that's a net loss for me and the streit signing proves they should have kept carle.


now add that jvr was a beast in 2 out of 3 playoffs and I'd take my scenario. imo,both jvr and Luke have to prove it over a full season...and Bob too, for that matter.
- isaiah520

Schenn can move the puck decently and seems to be able to join the play when the oportunity presents...I wouldn't exactly peg him as a purely stay at home type...and also, with the minutes he can play, I believe he has top pairing upside...not that #1 two-way guy who can put up 40-50 pts and play solid D (only a few players like that in the NHL), but a solid #2 who can complement a more offensively dynamic #1.

Streit and Carle are two different players...Streit is much more confident and competent of a puck mover and more of an offensive catalyst but maybe not as good defensively (not that Carle is a stalwart either). Carle has been underwhelming in Tampa (to say the least -- some TB fans already want him bought out) and I think it was a good move to avoid paying that $$ and term. I think the idea of having had Carle in the lineup is attractive because he's perceived as a puck mover and offensive guy, the type of player the Flyers need(ed) to complement their current mix, but there are others who can fit that bill, some of them just as good or better. I think some will be pleasantly surprised at Streit's abilities to move the puck and contribute offensively.

Scratches is a noun there, not a verb.

Your definition is different. Got that from dictionary.com

Still willing to bet if you go up and scratch your name on the cup it will look different then using "Retail Engravers".

what does engraving do? creates scratches how do you create a scratch? by scratching
therefore engraving is a subset of scratching

I swear, that frustrates me more than anything -- it's OK to be critical, even devastatingly so, when it's true.

If somebody says, "Man, I hate Paul Holmgren because he traded Jeff Carter and Mike Richards days before their NTCs kicked in," I'd say "Yep, that was a pretty crappy thing to do. He shouldn't have done that, and it absolutely made the Flyers look like liars and was embarrassing."

But how does anybody say that Jeff Reese should get gassed? For what? Taking an unknown rookie Russian goalie to a 28-13-8 record, with a .915 svpct?

For taking a waiver-wire pickup and having him go 16-5-2?

For taking a goalie who came over in a trade after two-plus miserable seasons in Columbus and watching him go 4-2 with a .944 svpct and 1.90 gaa?

I don't know what else Jeff Reese has to do to keep a job in this city!
