we're making philly great again
We have the best fans people BELIEVE ME when I say this.
We're also going to get the best players.
We're going to start winning so much, we're going to get bored of winning
We're going to build a great trophy case. the best trophy case you're ever seen.
It will be done early and under budget and I'm going to make Pittsbrugh pay for it.
Ovechkin and Backstrom? Choke artists and losers.
After we win against Ovechkin and Backstrom, we're going to take down Little Crosby.

Is it game time yet?
I keep checking the clock and it is moving sooooo slow.

I'm suffering also. I look up and the clock has barely moved.

That was the best, though. It felt cathartic.

If you watch the vid on youtube, there's Hexy watching closely and just itching to join the donnybrook. Man I loved those teams with Hexy, Lindros, LeClair Desjardins, etc... wish they could have taken the cup in 97.

Here's another thing to consider: Med has a ton of Russian PO and WC experience over the years... Manning hasn't played a PO game since 2011... in the Dub.
- Tomahawk


In my personal opinion, I don't believe there is that wide a gap between Medvedev and Manning but they both bring something different. The problem I have is that Medvedev is a veteran of the game and hasn't been allowed to prove he's able to clean up any shortcomings he might have. Even after 4-0 loss against Edmonton or a 3-0 loss in Detroit, where we saw a weak opponent in Toronto the next day, Hakstol is still unwilling to make the switch. Manning is a physical player and I don't want to under rate how important this is but he's not Radko Gudas or Luke Schenn physical, which helps boosts both player's game. The offense from the blueline seems to live and die with Ghosts most nights. I'm not in absolute fear of playing Medvedev at all as our 6th defenseman.

I just saw that ... 16 K's... wow! At this rate, the fielders can take a couple of innings off each game.

Most will shoot me for this, but Anyone remember the d
Suprimeau video for the ecf of 2004 set to superman theme music? I loved that, and of course my favorite all time flyers pump up vid is he Hextall montage set to puff daddy come with me. (frank) I love that.

If not this should be arranged. We need to get a vibe going for every thread of every game from here on out.

I think he gets in when there is a class with few easy ballot votes. Last year was a stacked class.

88 isn't even in our rafters when it damn well should be. While not a requirement that's not doing him any favors with the HHOF.

Regardless, it's that time of year. Let's hope the team shocks the world and takes these Caps to the woodshed.

No one but Ashbee has gone up there until after he's gone into the HOF. So that's really not it.

For sure. Flyers are going to need Voracek to be the Voracek of last year to win the series imo.

If Bill has to go as far as bringing up the same concerns I've had with Jake in his blog today, this is when you know he has to have a big post season. Nobody should brush off his weaknesses. Expect better and hope he becomes better when it matters most.
