Just heard a bit on Howard 101 where they were playing Mutombo sound bites with Cookie Monster... I was howling.

Sounds like this dude:



Knowing my luck, one of you is him. But I met him once, and he gave me a look that basically implied, "I am SO MUCH more of a fan than you."

Would you rather have Markov or Boyle?

Markov, but he reportedly wants 4 years

i considered this before my post, but this event was in 2000, well before hockey charity game fights were all the rage.
- hammarby31


Speaking of fights at charity game...

Was anyone else secretly hoping that Lindros would demolish Kasparitis at the WC alumni game?

They both have way too much injury history, this Flyers team can't afford to take risks like that when we overpay for our D corps as much as we do.

Anyone know if Ghost is coming to the pros next year or finishing college out?

No decision yet. Would be cool if Union won the NCAA title in Philly, and he grabbed Lou Nolan's mic and announced he was turning pro.

By the way...what are the rules concerning his rights and the Flyers' window to sign him?

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I'm all about a Flyers tattoo and all (if they ever win The Cup, I'm getting a full back piece). But he feels the need to let people know how much more of a fan he is because of his head tattoo.

No. But there are quite a few people at games who I wonder that about, including the guy who sits next to me.

It's real. Apparently, it all started with a bunch of them screaming, "OH MY GAWD!" at each other, and escalated when the police threatened to put a kitten in a tree.

41 and still working at a hoagie shop. He probably has a hot girlfriend too. Some people just live charmed lives.

He's "Super Fan." You'll see him sporting the mohawk and a surly face by the Flyers tunnel during any pre game skate.

Rothstein said that his mom, Rochelle, and sister, Lisa, were always big Flyers fans, but that lately he's had a falling out with Lisa because her son developed an admiration for Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby. "I can't live with that," said Rothstein, who hates all things Penguin with a passion. "Not in my family."

Unlike even the most fervent fans, Rothstein wears his Flyers heart on his sleeve - and on his head - all year-round. Even in the heat of summer, he's rocking Flyers gear. "I don't own anything else," he said. "If I have to get dressed up, I have a Flyers tie."


That's kinda just sad, really. I love the Flyers, but dude, chill the (frank) out.

He didn't track down Stevens and put him through a wood chipper after his hit on Lindros. I'm calling BS on this guy.

He's a gutless puke.
