So who (if anyone) is everyone rooting for in the playoffs? I know it's difficult but I always enjoy a hard-fought playoff series. I am leaning towards the Habs as Cole Caufield is my best friend's 2nd cousin. Hate to see ex-Flyers win but I would be happy for Raffl.

Seravalli reports Patrick has hired a new agent and “ I certainly think you could see Patrick on the list of players this summer who ask for a fresh start elsewhere. ”
- Djapana

Kind of a Richard move if this is true. What could they get for him?

I picked a team or two in each division..

Caps here because of Raffl- thats the human interest story, ex Flyers seem to go to Cup winners as some sort of league reward ( Kimmo/Streit etc)

Bolts

Winnipeg - went to a game there about 6 years ago.. a Winnipeg based company I represented had a box and a friend sold their game worn jerseys/gear at the games

Blues or Wild

Do the Flyers trade Patrick before the expansion draft, or at the draft? Maybe packaging their 13th pick and Patrick for a good prospect.

And then said the Flyers are not thinking along those lines at all.

Thank you Bill for conjuring up that fantastic memory about the Flyers improbable comeback. The thing that made it even sweeter for me was it was against the Bruins!

Watch the full game 5 on YT. EPIC. Down 3-1 in the series going into the hornets nest. Not one fan in that stadium thought their Bruins were going to lose that one. Every win that series was tough, but that game five was something else

Kind of a Richard move if this is true. What could they get for him?

It was a Richard comment by Seravelli trying to stir up a story.

That's also what makes me wonder if Patrick has been trying to get out of Philly. Why the 3rd agent? Unless the agents are the ones spoiling the relationship.

Having said this, Patrick was pretty honest and critical of himself in his interviews. Mentioned its his biggest offseason of his life. I'm not ready to ship him out just yet...

From your quote it sounds like it’s just his opinion. Not reporting it as fact.

Now the fanbase will get wind of what Seravelli said and turn on Patrick even more so than they already have. It was a Richard comment. That is all he needs to have people thinking he doesn't want to be here when he said nothing of the sort.

Exactly.

Haag and Morin really are the only players on this team that have size and use it. The Flyers need to get tougher throughout the lineup, play with more sand paper and have the speed, skill and size to do it.
- jd250

Agreed. But the two guys you mentioned are at the lower end of the talent totum pole and we need some real skill combined with grit players.
This is the softest kitty Kat team I've ever seen wear orange and black.

I do not envy CF this off-season. This will define how long he lasts here, imo

I will root for Carolina. It will hurt less if they end up winning. I think that the winner of Colorado and Vegas make the finals.

Yeah you're not wrong. Fan base has already been pretty brutal with him. Something with #2 overalls... 1st Wentz, now Nolan

Gotta come up with some BS to fill some air-time...

this nickname doesn't really work for him. can't you come up with something more original?

What do you recommend? He's the first power forward since our Wayne train....

I envy him, I wish I was in his shoes in fact. I have a ton of moves I would love to make. In the end, this is what CF gets paid for, he either executes or he will be fired, its make or break time for him and AV.

I am in SFL so I have to pull for the Panthers, I want this place to be Hockey crazy, they need to win a round or 2, tall order.

After, that I will go Vegas, Canes or Tampa. Tampa so that all of their players deserve a raise forcing them to shed players. Same for Vegas, tough I would like the expansion team to win one.
