How is 'nowhere to go but the golf course' an insult to BiggE? If I never had anywhere to go but the golf course that would be a pretty solid life for me. I'd be golfing this year no matter what the flyers did. You should try it some time.

Mickey Mouse? The Rangers had a blue carpet event to welcome them back to the playoffs after being out for about a decade. I'm pretty sure winning organizations don't feel the need to do things like that.

How Jim Benning won a trade........


Jim Benning: Ok, Pierre. Burrows for Dahlen it is. Good doing business.

*hangs up phone*

Benning: What an IDIOT! We fleeced the bejeezus out of the Senators! Kicking ass and taking naaaames.

Canucks Assistant GM: Sure did, Jim. Well done. This is a great move for the rebuild getting a 19 year old sniper in Dahlen for a 36 year old, 4th line Burrows.

Benning: Rebuild? Wait what now. I thought...I thought WE were getting Burrows.....

Assistant GM: ...........Jim, Burrows has been on the Canucks for 12 years.

Benning:

Seriously, I can't believe Benning just pulled that off.

Have you considered that he had access to stats and knowledge we as fans did not? He is a general manager of an NHL franchise. He is no idiot. Everything he does is well thought out and reasoned, and the correct decision. When he inevitably gets canned, that also will be the correct decision.

The Senators GM and the Canucks GM both indeed made the correct, intelligent decisions in this trade.

Some people laugh at me on here when I say it, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: Bellemare could do what Coots does for 1/4 the cost. They're pretty similar players, and I actually think Bellemare might be better defensively. And during the win streak, he did fill that role, and we won. People can criticize me for saying it, but the truth is the truth. People get way too attached to dime a dozen guys like Coots. If we could trade him for a 1st or 2nd even, I would in a heartbeat.

GMs are always available to be taken advantage of. There's like 10 good GMs tops, and then the rest pick their boogers and eat them. If you're ambitious about it, you can always find one to steal from without even realizing they were stolen from.

He doesn't realize he just made fun of himself without me having to lift a finger. It's too precious.

I just went back and deleted every time I posted that.

Again, 1 cup, 76 years. Your team has nothing special to be proud of.
- BiggE

I'm proud of what we've done the last four five years yes it sucks not winning the cup but we've played more playoff games than only two or 3 teams in the league in the last four years yes I'm proud of that

I miss Milbury as a GM, he was comic gold.
Who needs Luongo, I got Rick DiPietro, and that Chara guy will never be any good.

Jesus. Do you realize how much of a loser you sound like? "We didn't win, but we won some playoff rounds over the years, guys! Made a Cup final! I'm proud of that, guys! Yay for effort!" This is loser cuck talk. You might as well be a Flyers fan.

Coach Dave Hakstol met with the leadership group - Claude Giroux, Streit and Wayne Simmonds - and had a lengthy on-ice conversation with them during Monday's practice.

Giroux said the conversation centered around staying positive.

By the way one last question. Were you even alive the last time the flyers won the Stanley cup?

Bob (or whatever your name is), if I can simply ask.

What would cause a grown man to come on a internet message board to try and rile up other grown men? Thats what this comes down to.

Honestly curious.
