reading comprehension, bro. He said "greater philadelphia"

Remember when pens fans said Kessel would easily score 40 goals, probably would hit the 50 goal platuea, and he would also probably hit 100 pts playing with malkin or crosby? 20 goals, 25 assists, I'm thinking he might have a hard time scoring 30 goals in the next 14 games
- benjichronic

30 goals in 14 games would be pretty good.

Yes. Win it in reg or Ot, and they're right there.. lose and it's a problem.. I am shocked that Toronto won last night's game in Detroit. holy favour.

As a side note, and not to jinx our playoff run, how funny would it be to knock Detroit out of the playoffs for the first time in 28 years as a sort of payback for 1997? I'd certainly like it!

it would be some consolation. (frank) that team.

Yes...He then said people pretend that greater Philadelphia is not the same thing as Philadelphia:

"Haters prefer to pretend greater Philadelphia is not Philadelphia."

Thus implying that the greater Philadelphia = Philadelphia.

So (frank) you too.

I don't care who gets (frank)ed as long as it is either Pittsburgh or Detroit. It would be nicest if they could both get bent and Carolina could sneak in after Philly.

I don't care who gets knocked out as long as the Flyers make it.

No team in the league I despise more than the dirtball Pens and their fair weather fans! I would love the Flyers to knock them out of the playoffs!

Personally, that would be most satisfyling to me. All the short term moves just to make a run at a cup, and they are fighting for a playoff spot with us while Hexy rebuilds with our youth. Bodes well for the near future for us..

Oh well, I am sure Kunitz will make team canada at the WHC over Giroux so they have that!

Dear God.. It'd be shaping up just like 2010 for us..

yes, greater philadelphia is largely considered philadelphia. Just like Brooklyn, Bronx, ect..are still NYC despite people only really thinking NYC=Manhattan.

Love what Hexy is doing so far, Hartnell for Umberger swap not withstanding (though I understand why). D prospects are shaping up really nicely!

Giroux gets no love from the powers at be for Team Canada and they can go frack themselves...G only leads the league in scoring since 2010 and he isn't even a reserve? Give me a f'in break!

that 2010 team was actually very good though and just underperformed much of that season..totally different situation.

I am sorry, but he Giroux thing drives me bonkers as a flyers fan and a Canadian. He should be on the team.

I know.. jk.. 2010 had all the pieces, and we don't have the depth now.
- Hextall271

I agree except a goalie that didn't buckle under the pressure and a 3rd d pairing that wasn't useless...even minus those things, it took a fluke goal to beat them!

It really chaps my hind parts that he isn't on the team and I'm an American!

What you need to understand about people from Philly is that they think everyone within 100 miles in every direction is "From" Philly. It especially comes out when you find out you don't root for one of their teams.

Those are Brayden Schenn numbers...for half the salary! Nice move by Rutherford!

Where are you from?

Here's how I usually base it..

I am from Wallingford. When I was in Italy visiting my wife's family, I told people I was from Philadelphia or "just outside Philadelphia".

Does either really make a difference?
There likely isnt a soul in Italy who knows where the hell Wallingford is. Hell, they probably dont know where Pennsylvania is.

They know Philadelphia.

what did everyone have for lunch today? I went pretty generic and did a tuna sandwich on 2 pieces of wheat bread and honey-siracha brussel sprouts

I had a PB&J with an apple and a clementine.

I grew up in Brigantine as a Yankees fan. I constantly got, "what? Did you grow up in New York?" I would look at them like they were nuts and say, no, but I didn't grow up in Philadelphia either. Add to that, Phillies games were on Prism which was a pay channel, and the Yankees were on channel 11 for free.

I learned to have a healthy dislike for any citizen of Philadelphia the way they would come in to town like they owned the place. Loud, throwing trash everywhere, double parking in the middle of the street, and acting like they were in east Philly. Starting fights on the beach, in the bars, disturbing the neighbors at all hours of the night.

Add to that their stupid hoagies. They are called Subs here bumhole.
