I thought it was funny that he didn't consider his goalie son a hockey player.

Mine is actaully Tommy wearing a Flyers uniform and wearing a Jofa helmet, though. That other shot is a RBK piece of poop

Mine's also actually Soderstrom...and not a female goalie

but, but hockey...

Realistically, the kid doesn't have a team right now. As you well know goalie spots close fast and he got caught over reaching his ability. If he wants to play he has to play out. You're his parent, let's say, do you let him sit and protect him or play out?

- mayorofangrytown


you tell the kid to keep working on his game as a goalie if that's what he wants. it will do him no good to skate out if all he wants to do is go back in net. find ice, and practice.

Wasn't technique back in those dark days pretty much limited to "Hey, Gump...stop the freaking puck!"

he was not square to the shooter. was flat footed. reacted late, and still managed to keep it out. hasek always seemed to be a little more calculated to me.

yeah, kind of, but not entirely. i can assure you, that one is not in the goalie manual. not even back then.

that really went from being a non-threatening play to being a 2 on 1 very quickly. maybe Marsh shouldn't pinched...

It created a buzz, certainly.

Still the Flyers had a very loyal fanbase and a return to the playoffs wouldhave generated a good buzz as well...and had Forsberg remained and become a superstar as a Flyer, that would have generated a similar attention, albeit at a slower pace.

as much as I would have been livid at the time, 20/20 hindsight I would have rather see the loved Rod the Bod traded instead of Forsberg.

Absolutely. But Brind'Amour was the proven guy. Hell, Forsberg was a reach when the Flyers drafted him
