i almost got into a physical fight with another flyers fan a couple of years ago over jvr. he was sitting at the other end of the row...hammered...and just relentless on him the whole game. i finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up, and started screaming at the guy to shut the (frank) up, we get it, you think he sucks. he started giving me poop about my lindbergh jersey, and proceeded to tell me he was a better fan because he was wearing a mel bridgeman jersey and that i didn't know who bridgeman was...somehow i collected myself and didn't escalate because if i had, i probably would have gone to jail.

so jvr scores in the 3rd period and the entire section of 221 stood up and pummeled the guy with jeers. it was sweet. (frank)ing goddamn asshat.

He'd be an instant upgrade. More physical than Del Zotto, MacDonald, and Steit. More mobility than Grossmann, and Schenn.

Hmmm

does anyone have phone numbers for Mark Howe and Eric Desjardins?

Without Coburn you think their D is as good as the 11-12 Devils??

Are you on the team's payroll?

He needs a new example... the Flyers have neither the total team buy-in, the consistency/discipline, nor the 5V5 possession game to replicate what the Devils did in '11-12.

Haha, ripping on a Pelle jersey and claiming superiority with a Bridgeman jersey? Who does that?

It's definitely nice to come on here and be able to have intelligent (relative term) Flyers talk, instead of sticking to the national/WIP mantra. I remember the first game in 12/13, there was a kid (early 20s maybe) in front of me. Penguins take their first SOG and Bryz kicks it away easily. Kid screams, "YOU SUCK BRYZ!" I wanted to punch him in the mouth so (frank)ing badly.

I generally hate the fans at the game. The Flyers fans that I meet while tooling around in life generally know nothing about hockey. They regurgitate everything they read like it's fact.

The one thing I cannot stand is when people bang on the glass. I think they should be tossed and banned. It even infuriates me when it happens on TV. I make a mental note of their faces so if I ever see them at the Supermarket I can hit them in the shins with my cart. BASTARDS!!!

How so?
- MJL

Because I don't think their current collection of defenders are as good as New Jersey's were. I...I really don't see what's not to get here. It's how I feel.

Salvador
Zidlicky
Greene
Fayne
Volchenkov
Harrold
Larsson
Tallinder

not a stellar group really, but Greene and Fayne are solid and Volchenkov and Salvador had decent seasons

not sure the flyers current group is too much worse

Good thing we didn't keep Morin for those 9 games.

Leight?

People in my section are generally pretty good.

There used to be one guy who would constantly talk poop on Scott Hartnell loudly and typically during the silence right before Lauren Hart sings the anthem. I'm sure he'll find someone else to hate on now that Hartnell's gone.

I usually find a way to yell at the refs/linemen. Just because.

I understand that's how you feel. I was just trying to have a conversation. Kurtis Foster played 28 games for them that year. Their top scoring defenseman that year was Adam Larsson with 18 points. Their best defenseman was Bryce Salvador. Not a bad player, not a player that is better then the Flyers top defenseman.

The wit/creativity never gets old.

I didn't give the example. And the Flyers could certainly develop those attributes as a team. And really, they better get to it.

- -davies-

and it worked!

So, my long-time (5 years) neighbor had to drop his season tix this year, so I had a new guy sitting next to me. Nice enough, chatty. So, about halfway through the third, he goes on a rant about how horrible Coburn is, how many terrible plays he makes, how he constantly turns the puck over, etc. Went on to talk about how he's basically a bad version of Matt Carle.

Is this really how the bulk of the fanbase is?
- jmatchett383

Yes, I think so. Never underestimate the ignorance of the average fan.

I instinctively avoid hockey conversations with most people because of this. Been caught too many times just nodding my head in defeat as somebody rants about how bad (insert player name) is.

Yeah, Islanders fans wont shut up about Streit and Amac. Yet their defense is worse without them.

they have both been solid for the flyers

if they want to be critical of their contracts I can see that, but both are decent players

Haven't caught up to everything but any update on Coburn other than LBI and out for an extended time?

My issue last night was partially the D, primarily the forwards and Mason playing like junk.

I can't say it enough how much I like Simmonds.
