Maybe I am too optmistic or just have the orange glasses on but I feel like we will be pleasently suprised this year. The team seemed to like playing for Berube so I hope they really buy into the system. Also I think his system helped Schenn so I really hope to see him be that thumper shutdown guy

You're paying at least a dime for a swedish fish these days.

Flyers fans are not allowed to be optimistic. We must dwell in uncertainty, hate, and find scapegoats where necessary.

We also have to lament any former player who does anything.....ever while almost never referencing roster moves in which we came out on top.

just watching the clarke game 2 OT goal against boston - i can't imagine a line of schultz, flett, and clarke was a regular line...assuming clarke got double shifted there.

If they win the Cup this year, it's no thanks to Giroux, Simmonds, Schenn, Voracek, Couturier, Read, Akeson, Umberger, Couturier, Rinaldo, Raffl, Laughton, Rosehill, White, Coburn, Streit, Grossmann, Schenn, MacDonald, Del Zotto, Schultz, Mason, and Emery because they are all overrated.

I have one of these in mint condition. Anyone know the approx. value?

You would have to give me $5 to accept that card.

You drastically undervalue the penny.

I can house a rather large bag of these in one sitting if the mood strikes me right.

And MacDonald should not be in the NHL according to all three of the Isles fans.

I'd say it's unlikely we'll see another Recchi for Desjardins and LeClair type of deal in the near future but easily my All-Time favourite trade within the last 20 years. Paul Holmgren was close by pulling the trigger on the Carter and Richards deals (Which I'd say are my second favourite deals) but LeClair and Desjardins became too important to this team to not love the outcome.

Awesome trade for sure but the single most important trade to me was the one bringing back Bernie. No Bernie, no cups.

Even more important that Pitkanen and Sanderson for Smith and Lupul?

Those things are the devil. So good, yet if you eat too many your teeth will literally fall out of your head.

and it's also possible that if the flyers never traded him to toronto, they don't win the cups either, as he was coached by plante and improved his game. if he stayed, maybe he wouldn't have become good enough to lead them to the cups on his own.
