Can you imagine the optics in this? Jagr likes the tables I hear. He can live at The Bellagio and do a show like De Niro in Casino....lol

Plus, he'd probably get ALL of the Top 6 ice time he could handle.

Can/does peanut butter go bad if the jar remains sealed?

Like, peanut butter from 1995?

NO..they will all hit the net this year I fell it in my bones. Team shooting % ABOVE 10% book it.

He could handle it. They will make him put on the weight vest and do the stairs of the arena between periods just to keep him from dominating too much...

Plus, with the amount of young (legal) models that make trips to Vegas every year...

I loved it.

"Hey, rich 43-year-old single man: give me $2000 or I will let the whole world know that you slept with an 18-year-old supermodel who has a boyfriend."

I have to agree with those on the side of not retiring Recchi's number. Flyers HOF for sure but for some reason he just doesn't seem to identify as a Flyer to me.

Any upticks will be a big help.
Ghost especially probably can jump 3 or 4 %"s which will really help.

oh that dude is a (frank)ing POS. i hope he's face down in the gutter clutching a bottle of paint thinner.

I feel the same. Maybe it's because when i hear his name I think of the Pens and Bruins and winning cups there.

No love for Matt Walker?

He does hold the team record for most points in a season.

One team record in a single season doesn't mean a retired number.

I agree, the response was to some fans not identifying him as a flyer.

If they won in 2000 or 2004, I could see, maybe, retiring Recchi's number.

Maybe.

I'll double and triple down on this.....

Recchi, an acknowledged HoFer, has played more games for Philly, scored more goals in Philly, and had more points in Philly than he did at any of his other stops by a pretty big margin.

I still don't think of him as a Flyer as I saw his entire Flyers career. Many of those as a season ticket holder.

Just not a Flyer to me.

It's strange but it feels the same way for me also.

Two of my least favourite Flyers players... Recchi and Primeau.

Think I'll sit this one out.

A large part of it is sort of subjective.

And some of it goes back to:

1.) His first Flyers stint, arguably his most prolific statistically, the team was terrible. The 2nd stint, he was a key player, but not THE key player on a team that was close, but still didn't win.
2.) His first Flyers stint ended with going the other way in probably one of the top 10 most important trades in club history. If he was more a part of the mid-90's years, he might be viewed differently.
