The Flyers already had their Tom Wilson. His name was Ben Eager.

yeah but I benefit from your MTN time because I can't keep a normal sleep schedule because I fail as a human being a lot. so spout away.




...especially that pro pens rhetoric. it really suits you well.

don't mistake my lack of pure visceral hatred for being pro pens. they are not one in the same thing.

i think part of it stems from my fondness for michel dion's beak mask. one of the greatest of all time. i get attached to things and am sentimental and poop.

if the flyers were facing the pens right now, it'd probably take all of one period for me to their (frank)ing guts. and that's without james captain and tennille. and joe smegma.

it's about choosing a lesser of two evils. for the time being the pens are the lesser.

and as long as I'm thinking about it, (frank) the igloo and mario lemieux, too.

i will not utter that stupid (frank)ing word. fancy stats can kiss my ass. i so don't care about them. that said, i still respect the people that attempt to utilize them in a helpful manner. it's not going to be me.

"that'll never be me, that'll never be me.....nooooooo."

We're joking around, Marc. If you can't see that, bless your heart.

I prefer the Penguins bc they play fast, fun hockey and they're probably something of the advanced stats team in this playoff. I really want them to beat the Caps just to dispel with the idea that the Flyers lost because of "size," and they didn't hit and get physical enough.

I don't even hate this Pens team anymore. Their average fan: yes. But this team just doesn't bug me the way it used to. This season series was weird.

It's posted in this thread maybe 2/3rds of the way through

Shoulder to head and left his feet

Clear charging

It was ok to suspend him, 3 games seems like too much
And no suspension for Chimera kind of grates not to mention Wilson running around like an idiot all series

Wilson will be suspended when he runs Crosby or letang
Guaranteed

that's basically what i've boiled down to with the flyers as well.

if i didnt actually live in philly, i think i would actually pull for the flyers from time to time. scrappy bunch. not a "broad street bullies, yo" team at all, despite what many idiots want/believe to the contrary.

I could swallow the Schenn suspension if they took a Cap, too. I watched that series. Schenn wasn't the only one going high and hard.

We were dealt dirty.

Both fourth-line upside guys drafted in the first round (at least Eager was not a Flyers draftee), same style of play, similar body types.
