The locker room echoes with memories that haunt
From storied careers to one-season jaunts
Bend back time to the days of Daigneault
The magic and mystery of Ville Leino
The peerless dominance of springtime Briere
His glorious fistpump riving the air
Today my mind can't help but drift
To four years ago when I witnessed The Shift
Ten years its been since the boys broke our hearts
(Though not for a lack of that blood-pumping part)
The journey's been long, twisting, quixotic
For every Bernie there's a Roman Cechmanek
From Primeau to Kimmo, the Bullies of yore
My exhilarant soul begins to soar
And I sense the cadence of a familiar hum
Grow loud and menacing as our war drum
Anointing the quest as we stoke the fires
And tremble the walls, howling Let's Go Flyers

Pretty sure he means he'll miss Game 2 but be in NY, and take the team bus back.

You were on HB in 1997?!? Holy crap, you predate Ek.

Oh-- you meant regular season.

Bill - what's your prediction?
- flyersfan51


People pay for those types of things. You think he's just going to release that kind of information for free?

If Bill ran a STH program, he could probably make more off of it than Ek does.

Rinaldo is a wannabe goon. Terrible hockey player. Terrible fighter. Can't hit worth poop. I'm not worried about him at all.

I don't think Iginla agrees.

Just checking in now..

Has there been any update on Mase?

Staying back in Voorhees today to get treatment. Status for Sunday will defend on how he feels over the next two days. The Flyers will not practice tomorrow regardless of tonight's outcome. Practice resumes Saturday.

Is there any indication of what happened? I don't even need to hear what he injured. I just want to know if it was a concussion or not.

.

I don't believe in making series predictions. What I will say is that the Flyers are capable of a split at MSG in the opening two games and the rest would depend on how well they manage their home ice games.

Treatment I'm assuming means non-concussion related? Bill, if you know anything, you can tell me. I'll put it in the vault.

I think now I dont hate him anymore. I'll start hating the Pens and Caps announcers now. The Pens announcers are just atrocious..... I mean really
- GOA88



doc may have fond memories of his time as a flyers announcer and have respect for the players from then but listening to him do flyers/devils games for years has given me a different perspective. you're the first person to ever agree with me, don't cave now.

Raptor Jesus is Tim Thomas.
Or, apparently, Rich Peverley.
