See when Ranford won the Conn Smythe he also made sure his team won the cup... THat must have been where Hextall failed... as for Luongo- he did neither so what does that make him??

I like the Colorado model better. Manic highs followed by depressive lows. Much better than being in the gutter for an extended period.

Oh we are looking like a playoff team, next year is going to be so awesome...wait

A Casucks fan commenting on anything other than riots and 44+ years of failure. Well done. I expect to see a lot of you over the next few years of your poopty ass rebuild, trolling lower teams to deal with your own insecurities.
- ruttager17

I have no insecurities, that said, I'm full of common sense.

I know we're not that good right now, but I'm not calling out other teams, he was.

He can say what he wants about the oilers, but I find it funny how teams crap on the oilers and then praise teams like Pitt Chicago and most recently Colorado for being teams who "built the right way"
- CrustyRooster

Colorado did build the right way. They were really, really bad twice. That's really it. They have at least competed at points.

I don't know why Oiler fans are all bent out of shape.....he basically said the fans of Edmonton deserves better....those are a lot of years of not just being bad but being the worst.....great they have all these draft picks and young studs, but how long before they can't afford to pay all these guys ?
As a fellow Canadian, I don't like when the Canadian teams mostly blow.....the Battle of Alberta is a tradition....one that only works when both teams don't suck.

You know what you, you....you're alright.
It was a bit of a troll on the flyers, but was perhaps in response to Hextall's douchtard comments. At least he stayed in his own teams thread....I assume anyways.

boom what ? what have the Flyers or Hextall done in the past 30 years other than choke and prove they are pretty much the Vancouver Canucks or the Eastern Conference.
- Reveen

They've been to the Cup final something like 8 or 9 times during the 70's 80's 90's and 2000's, sure they didn't win it recently, but you've gotta admit their doing something right. That's not an easy accomplishment. East to chuck poop from the bottom I guess.

Sorry sir. Nothing personal, just blame Hextall for starting sh!t.

Ron Hextall is flapping his lips- I simply stated facts... The other fact remains your team has no cup and never will now that you will conveniently take our place in the sewer for the next 5-8 years and beyond... also see Ranford, Bill 1990...

More like three times and pretty close a 4th time.

Flyers have always been pro-active, to a fault, I'm sure he was just ensuring the fan base that they'll continue along that path.

Oh snap son.

Try five times in 30 years...

Only thing that sucks is that MacT might not deal with PHI now, but I don't mind what was said.

- LeftCoaster

That was probably un called for....even he probably would have wanted to word it differently....even if it is true....the Flyers should keep comments about their own team.

This. Dont expect him to use facts though....
- Iggysbff

Mochoson comes in every now and again when a good stir is going on- adds his 2 cents then he likes to use the words 'we' and 'our'.... Then when he gets called on things its ' I am just a fan of hockey'... Its entertaining- and rather consistent...

You know what you, you....you're alright.

And if anyone knows douchetard comments it Ruttager....he makes them all the time....
He's kind of a dumber combo of Systemtool, Newmy, Bieksa #3 and Hallfan.

- DDM-Coga

And draft McDavid I hate you.

Try five times in 30 years...
- Reveen

I included the 70's when the made they finals three times, but yes you're correct five times in 30 years. I was born in the 60's, so the 70's are relevant to me.

Matt Henderson: Hextall Skewers The Oilers
- Matt_Henderson

I disagree with you characterization. The Oilers certainly tripped, but they haven't been strutting to try to play it off as purposeful for at least two years.

Also, clap clap clap to Hextall for taking potshots at the easiest organization to mock in pro sports today. If his introductory mantra is "we're not going to be as bad as the oilers" than as a Philly fan I'd be devastated.

They've been to the Cup final something like 8 or 9 times during the 70's 80's 90's and 2000's, sure they didn't win it recently, but you've gotta admit their doing something right. That's not an easy accomplishment. East to chuck poop from the bottom I guess.

1980, 1985, 1987, 1997, 2010

Easy to ignore facts and throw out random statements. Not surprising seeing as your favorite team is pretty much the Buffalo Bills (in terms of not being able to close the deal) of the NHL.

So much beef in here.. Cheap shot by Hextall. But honestly I don't care, it's not a shot at the fanbase. It's a shot at the inept management that we all know we have. Need to stop defending the management because let's be honest we all hate K-Lowe too.

Flyers have always been pro-active, to a fault, I'm sure he was just ensuring the fan base that they'll continue along that path.
- LeftCoaster

Next year they'll make another stupid Lindros type trade for McDavid.....and the other team will go on to multiple Stanley cup wins while the Flyers continue to be also rans....
