Bill Meltzer: Election Day: Choose Your All-Time Flyers Starting Lineup

This was hard to choose for center. Lindros, clarke.... Geez. That's a tough call.
Clarke was a natural leader but big E was the most dominant force in the league for a few years 🤔

Good topic for Election Day....or should I call it "red wave day". Oh and it's Clarke at centre all day long!!

I chose Lindros.

A problem I always have with such choices is: which era is the team going to play in. What will the opposing teams look like.

You know who doesn't care? Laine. Probably playing Fortnite right now!

(frank) him.

damn bill, this was more difficult than my time at the polls today

Tough call but gotta go Big E at center

Barber Lindros Kerr
Pronger Howe
Lindberg

Power and skill up front, snarl and grace in back, and a brick wall in net.

EDITED: I dropped Timonen to add Mark Howe. Difficult not to have him as a top 2 all time Flyer D.

PELLE

Leclair
Lindros
Knuble
Pronger
Desjardins
Hart

I chose lindros too! He was just too dominant to not get the pick

Also mark howe was a no brainier. I built my game around him and he was my favorite defenseman of all time

It was a tough choice, but my top line-up is:

LeClair - Lindros - Kerr
Howe - Desjarsdin
Carter Hart

I went with the power lineup here. At their primes and healthy, I can't imagine any lineup competing with this group.

Toughest decision I had was Leclair or Giroux...then I couldn't decide if I wanted Kerr, Leach or Recchi...then Pronger or Howe..Desjardins was the no brainer...and Pelle and Parent ugh


Giroux-Lindros-Recchi

Pronger-Desjardins

Pelle

I would take this lineup over anything someone else can put together. High octane offense and rocksteady defense.

Giroux-lindros-kerr (leclair was hard to pass up though)

Howe- pronger

Bernie

Some tough choices but I took

Barber, Clarke, Kerr, Howe, Desjardines, Parent

I find it really kind of funny how most of the inputs right now have Kerr in their lineup. I can't possibly understand this - didn't his scouting report say something like that he was a slow skater and wasn't very motivated?

Howe over Pronger, IMO. His body of work with the Flyers was just too good.

Rico is a no-brainer on the right side.

LeClair - Lindros - Recchi
Pronger - Desjardins
Cechmanek (if only he could been paid also during POs) :-D

LeClair Clarke Lindros

Propp Desjardins

Parent

Lindros would dominate on the wing

- Dak prescott's ankle

One of them is a 3-time league MVP and a 2-time Stanley Cup champion (of which he was captain), the other while great, isn’t.

Howe over Pronger, IMO. His body of work with the Flyers was just too good.

Rico is a no-brainer on the right side.

I felt the same way about Howe v. Pronger. If Pronger had spent his whole career with the Flyers then sure, I'd have voted for him.

Top line: Leach Clarke Barber.

and yeah, Desjardin at RD.

edit: Parent in net

no way coburn belongs on that list

LeClaire Lindros Kerr
Provy Desjardins
