I don't know that album, but I'll check it out.
Maybe I'm a Leo - Scoob
Definitely check it out. I think Youtube has the full album.
Also worth a look: Back in 1989, when AID concerts were still a thing, there was an Armenian AID benefit to raise money for something or other. Anyway, one of the results was a cover of Smoke on the Water featuring Brian May, Roger Taylor, David Gilmour, Ian Gillen, Richie Blackmore, Bruce D*ckinson, Alex Lifeson, Geoff Downes, Chris Squire, Paul Rodgers, Tony Iommi, and probaby five more people I'm forgetting. The Youtube video is worth a watch.

Never saw/heard that before. Organised by Jon Dee, the remake featured David Gilmour, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson and Chris Squire on guitars. On vocals it had Ian Gillan, Bruce Richardinson, Paul Rogers and Bryan Adams. Keith Emerson and Geoff Downes played the keyboards and Roger Taylor played the drums.

Honorable Mentions:
Rick Macleish 741 98 113 211
John Leclair 649 102 81 183
Simon Gagne 691 74 97 171
10. Shayne Gostisbehere 142 10 35 45
Ghost has a unique skill set that is perfect for powerplays and 3 on 3 OT. He has a wicked shot and soft hands, and, as he gains experience, he will probably move up a few spots on this list
9. Mark Howe 594 39 123 162
Howe was a fantastic pp quarterback and excelled at getting off a hard, low wrist shot that was easy for the net front guys to deflect. He had great hands and vision.
8. Wayne Simmonds 447 75 51 126
Simmer is arguably the best net front pp in the NHL right now. He has deceptively soft hands and a willingness to fight for position against much bigger Dmen. He also excels at driving goalies nuts too.
7. Chris Pronger 145 9 39 48
Pronger was as good a pp quarterback as I've ever seen. His shots were rarely blocked and his passes were tape to tape. He also had the innate ability to know when to pass and when to shoot.
6. Bobby Clarke 1144 99 230 329
Clarke did everything well, including playing on the pp. He's one of the great pp set up men of all time and he wasn't afraid to go after the puck in the corners nor go to the net. He is the all time Flyers leader in pp assists and points.
5. Eric Lindros 486 82 121 203
Lindros was hard enough to stop at ES, on the pp, he was a terror. His quick release backhand was a unique weapon too. He was simply a frightening combo of strength and skill and he opened up the ice for everyone else.
4. Bill Barber 903 104 176 280
Barber had the ability to play anywhere on the pp, though during his peak years, he usually manned the point. He had a great shot, was an excellent passer and rarely made a bad decision with the puck. Even though he is in the hall of fame, I don't think he gets enough credit for just how good he was. IMO, he was the best all around player to ever play for the Flyers.
3. Claude Giroux 656 62 175 237
By the end of 17-18, Claude will probably be 3rd all time in pp scoring 2nd all time in pp assists for the Flyers. He is arguably the best pure pp set up guy in the NHL right now. His passes are usually on the money and I wish he'd use his lethal one timer even more. He is the engine that has been driving the Flyers top notch 1st unit pp the last few years.
2. Peter Forsberg 100 13 37 50
Yeah, it's a small sample size, but when you average .50 ppg just on the pp, that is damned impressive. Forsberg was one of the all time great playmakers in NHL history and could run a pp as well as anyone.
1. Tim Kerr 601 145 93 238
The Flyers all time leader in pp goals, Kerr was the ultimate lethal weapon on the pp. What makes it even more impressive is that he did it in an era where it was basically legal for Dmen to all but mug guys who set up near the net. Kerr had, without a doubt, the quickest shot release that I've ever seen. The puck would touch his stick and before you could blink, it was in the back of the net. In this era, where clutching and grabbing actually draws penalties, I can't even imagine how many pp goals the big guy could have scored. - BiggE
I don't have the numbers in front of me but I don't think anyone calmed things down from the top of the umbrella better than Kimmo Timonen. Patient. Knew when to slap or wrist the puck. Looked for tape for redirects and was money at it.
New Orlean's K Paul restaurant Paul (not Paul the funny car driver) Prudome
A linguine de Mare in a Veloute sauce.
Also, remember a pecan pie ala mode that was baked fresh to order that was amazing.
Many years later still taste those.
Anybody have a worst meal? - Konalover
love the food in NOLA
cant think of a worst meal of the top of my head...would probably say during the same trip as my best meal, a couple places we wanted to go were closed or full so in a pinch we ended up just going to a place in Rome that was open. Was so underwhelming compared to all the other food we had, and it just sucked to be eating there knowing we were in a city with tons of amazing restaurants

Kimmo was certainly in the running, and probably should have been at least listed as an honorable mention. My bad.

at this point in August when there isn't much happening, thank goodness for your list
Kimmo was certainly in the running, and probably should have been at least listed as an honorable mention. My bad. - BiggE
In my opinion Gostisbehere hasn't been around long enough to make that list or any Flyers all time list. I'd go with Timmonen or Garry Galley who had some big years offensively as a Flyer.
