I will never figure out the Schenn hate....I can see the brother getting grief because he blew, but baby Schenn plays a complete game. I understood the trade, but didn’t like losing him.

I'm just making the easy joke. I never hated the kid. Fact is until Hayes signs we never really replaced him and it definitely hurt the team the past two years.

Absolutely. I liked Luke Schenn but I can’t really defend him. Luke has offered less and less year by year. I wish we had a spark plug like Brayden Schenn so bad!

I was honestly surprised that Luke was still in the league. The total lack of foot speed with the way the league has gone is just brutal.

Can’t defend it. He was a promising young player on a bad Leafs team. No idea how you going backwards.

I never liked the JvR trade. We had Grossmann. It never made sense.

But I did like Luke.

Till the day I die, I will listen to any and all Pearl Jam Riot Act and Prior. Vitalogy is by far their best album. From 1990 to 2003 I am missing about 7-9 live shows. They went off a cliff once politics took over IMHO

The next Adam Foote....I liked his heart, but he was so slow and in today’s game that’s death.

Homer was over a barrel and JVR was wildly inconsistent at the time so as much as I didn't like it, I got it.

That whole situation drove home why we needed to start drafting D men. Pronger went down and we had absolutely nothing to bring up for the foreseeable future.

Maooon manhandled by a 42 year old man with a broken jaw.

Blues one shot on goal in 15 mins.

There was no excuse to trade JvR. He was a second overall pick. He was young, power forward with an injury riddled third season.

At the time they were both struggling top picks. Obviously it turned out to be the wrong move for us but we needed to make a move and I don't think Homer wanted to deal any other part of the core.

I think most people felt like it was wrong move for two reasons. JvR was very young. The second reason is, JvR should have fetched more in return.

I watch this final and the type of players I think the Flyers are missing are Jake DeBrusk, Brayden Schenn and Alex Steen. Steen reminds me of Raffl, obviously Steen being the better player but guys who can play any game you ask of them. I wish we were more gritty.

Hopefully they’ve learned from their past and don’t trade Patrick.

I wish the Flyers had St Louis' entire 4th line.

I hated this trade so much more because I bought his jersey month before it happened.

I still dislike Craig Berube but Hockey Night in Canada has thrown out a few fun facts about him. He’s played for three teams twice. He listed and gave credit to all the head coaches he’s been an assistant to. Obviously many were Flyers coaches.

Dude, I can’t even begin to explain the rage I would feel if they trade Nolan Patrick.

For all the poop I talk, my biggest disappointment in the Flyers though is our bottom six depth. We don’t have the players and overall, we’re not gritty. We don’t have to be “tough”, we just need to be more of a gritty team. Stronger along the wall. More willing to go to the dirty areas. It bugs me so much, which is why I support Brayden Schenn so much.
