What did you guys think of the half time preference? I didn't think it was bad a at all but then again, Madonna or any other chick singer wouldn't be my first choice for a half time show at the Super Bowl. I think I'd want something more hard to pump up the crowd. Either way, I didn't think she was bad but of course chicks from my facebook list are knocking Madonna saying she was brutal.

Thoughts?

I dont see it that way. But then again I may be the only person who thinks this defensive group is vastly overrated. Their decision making is terrible and im tired of seeing the same mistakes over and over. I been saying this for over a year that this group just isnt good enough. I dont want to hear about how they made it to the cup bc alot went right for them plus they had a healthy Pronger.

Time to make moves if these guys cant get the job done.

- stveshdy


Hard to say.

Lets say they have a healthy Pronger to take away 25 minutes a game.

Adds a new dimension.

She lip synced the whole performance, but visually it was quite stunning.

Looks wise, she's a fine wine. In my opinion she's way better now then she ever was in her prime.

I agree, shake it up like a protien shake

I keep hearing who is going to replace so and so if we trade him. Who out there is better. Well im sure their are guys out there that can replace guys we have. Not like we have Norris Trophy Winners on defense. You have to find players who fit what you want to do. Anyone can be replaced as long as you determine what your looking for.

I just enjoyed the display of flesh while playing random old heavy metal songs from youtube.

I couldn't care less about the NFL, but I watch the Super Bowl every year.

You guys all keep me up to speed on the season as it goes on.

Really getting sick of that choir BS.

Its appearing everywhere and they do that stupid sway motion. Adds nothing.

This isnt a grade 5 christmas concert performance.

It was better than last year...of course, a Jerry's kid playing Beatles songs on a Kazoo would have been better than last year.

I agree. I wanna see a guy like Boychuk and another really physical dman inserted into the line up. There were too many times where the Flyers didnt take the body and went poke checking instead.

They're always going to be paying top dollar for defenseman as long as they fail to develop NHL caliber ones.

Yup and with Andy you can copy paste from seasons prior and get the same results really.

It does, but based on their abilities, the Flyers defense corps should be better.

The thing is, it's not just the defensemen, it's the forwards as well that cause a lot of the issues.

Do you really like this defensive group? Pronger isnt coming back anytime soon if at all. The Flyers have to move on as if he wont be playing hockey again based on the reports.

Im tired of seeing the same mistakes happen over and over. At some point you have to make a change. Last offseason it was the offense that got a shake up. This year you may have to trade one player and sign another. Its obvious to me that what we have isnt good enough. We can compete bc we have some talented players offensively but on defense they have been a mess all year (forwards included).

constantly refreshing this website for new comments is more interesting than the superbowl playing on my high def tv.

Do I like them as a group? No. I understand though that you cant make huge changes that easily.

For what its worth.

Id re-sign Carle at 5 million. Deal Meszaros + picks to San Jose for Murray. Trade JVR for Schenn +.
