Well done E. I'm old enough to remember each Flyer who has had his number retired. Of course, none were as emotional as Ashbee's and none meant more to me than Clarke and Parent because they were my heroes growing up. That being said, I thought Lindros did a great job tonight and gave a heartfelt, classy speech.

Agreed. Great speech. I was too young to remember most of those guys playing but big e was one of My faves.

Jonesy saying his knee was already shot when he got here.

Oh GM Bobby Clarke, how I don't miss you at all.

What time does this game actually start? People were saying 8 but I thought that was a joke...I’m starting to think maybe that is the scheduled time?

I heard 815.

They pulled the same poop on LeClair/Lindros Flyers HOF Night a few years back which is why I had zero interest in getting tickets for this one.

It’s nice to see one of the Flyers best ever honoured. Regardless of my feelings to how that scenario played out, it was a dark cloud over the organization. Pretty classy by the Flyers to do this and pretty classy of Lindros to move on.
I liked how Bonnie and Carl were introduced with two other legion of doom members in order to guarantee no booing....lol...or is that being cynical?
Anyways always a fan of Lindros’s game. Still one of my all time favourites...Some one mentioned the other day about the Stevens hit and the Kane OT winner as worst memories.....I remember the Kasparitis hit as well, and too me that really started the decline. Yes he still had dominant moments, but they started to be be further and further apart.

I’m watching this never ending pregame show wondering why they don’t use this time to show us what’s going on in the rest of the NHL? Cant we see highlights of other games? Maybe some highlights of recent Phantoms games? Anything would be better than this inane chatter.

Sanheim-Gudas would be so much better than Manning. Like infinitely better.

He didn’t mention Snyder, but he did ironically praise the trainers/medical staff

Don’t worry our GM assured us that the kids wouldn’t sit for long stretches.

even if you wanted to use the "team stat" argument. Sanheim is unarguably better than Manning.
