The writing was on the wall for this all season.

i mean i can get you guys all angry at me and tell you no way does giroux deserve the hart trophy over crosby?

that's why I mentioned him yesterday. could be had. whether he should be by the Flyers is open for debate.

he sucked last night and it was awesome to watch.

did he bother to carve AAaaaaAUUUGGGHHHH?

i know you were, but i thought, why not, what would reasonably consider as a fair deal? i'm not making any suggestions.
- hammarby31

i honestly cant think of a reasonable suggestion that i would make from a flyers standpoint that doesnt include maatta.

not trying to be a Richard and dismiss the conversation at all haha just being honest.

i wouldnt want to see what hed do with them. hes huge. both for the flys, and in the rivalry.

id say maatta or no dice.

putting my shero hat back on, id offer up pouliot and something else, and promptly be told to (frank) myself

i posted this because of your post.

i don't think he's a fit here. not if he wants to play north of 50 games and be a starter.

- wilsonecho91

Agreed -- he really was bad last night. I respect the guy for building his career and winning cups and trophies, and don't care what he thinks about anything off the ice, but one thing I know for sure, with the Flyers needing two points, I sure was glad that he was not good last night.

very well then.

of course not, he would just say it.

can you imagine if Mason had given up that goal that Simmonds scored? especially at that time of the game? This forum would be on page 580 on that topic alone.

had they not imploded in game 7, i doubt bernier is a leaf this season.

- Giroux_Is_God

Ha! We backed away from the abyss.

The Flyers are on fire right now -- there's no need for me to argue on the boards. I'm trying to be better about that stuff, anyway. There's no reason to argue, at all, when they're winning.

of course not, he would just say it.
- hammarby31

but the writing was on the wall all season, so it was not like he just started carving it. different scenario altogether.

that's true. then again, mason is not a vezina, conn smythe and cup winner, so....

it's a completely different kind of system.

That's a goal that just can't go in, in the NHL. It just can't.

Glad it did, though!

no doubt. was a great thing to see.

very well then.
- hammarby31

simmonds has worked his way up to being your third most valuable piece i think.

although pouliot, IF he pans, could be absolutely lethal running the show back there with all of your forwards. be the high octane replacement to timonen.

but i cant think of what else you guys would want to add to pouliot that would even get the wheels of possibility turning.

then i will thoroughly enjoy the replay.
- hammarby31

Watch for Thomas to pull a Hartnell and fall down for no good reason in the 3rd.

i know. theyre both ridiculous.

AND STOP AVOIDING MY BAIT. I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT CROSBY DESERVES THE HART DAMN IT
- stayinthefnnet

there's another easy one....crosby....heart....man, think it through

nor is he an oversized pud
- wilsonecho91

i know he takes a lot of guff for all sorts of reasons, but i respect what the guy has accomplished.

I do too, but enough w/ the warrior cod piece.

its absolutely ridiculous. giroux, a top 10 playmaking center.

coots, who just for comparisons sake, becomes a player between patrice bergeron and jordan staal. (could be more, could be less, but right now thats not a bad starting point. id argue hes already surpassed staal in a lot of areas, but is a little behind bergeron.)

brayden schenn, who should be a 25 goal, 60 point guy should you find a position and let him own it.

simmonds, as discussed.

voracek, who at worst is a 25 goal winger with playmaking ability.

read.

thats 6 right there. all young and still with room to improve. for the most part, extremely cap friendly as well.

im still of the mind the flyers need one more piece on the back end. even if its not a top level guy, just someone who brings a more mobile skill set to the back end. locking up mcdonald will be big.

phew. long story short, i wish you guys still had richie and carts

Scheen would be a 25/60 if he had a lw
