Really hard to get excited about the game to be honest. I was more excited thinking about coming back up for Buffett or a parade!

Right on sista! We may be flightless, but we can cruise across ice faster.

And when one of their players had the song, Baby how long will you keep me in the penalty box, baby how long you know it's lonely in the penalty box. I know I broke the rules but rules are broken by fools.
Wow you really do remember some weird random stuff.Image

I was 9-10 when they won and living in kensington phila. There was an impromptu paraded down front street after every game as the crowds came home from the games. We would go out there with our homemade signs and wave to everybody. And this was the era of streakers so every now and then one of our friends parents or some family member would say, don't look as some naked guy would go from car roof top to roof top.

Devastating news for Philly.....


Flyers D Timonen likely out of East finals with blood clot
Associated Press May 8, 2008, 6:52 PM EDT PHILADELPHIA
(AP) -Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen will likely miss the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins because of a blood clot in his ankle.

Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren said Timonen was hit with a shot in Game 4 against Montreal. The Flyers won that series in five games and will open the next series at Pittsburgh on Friday night.

"We have to view this that he's not a player for us in the series, and march on," Holmgren said Thursday night.

Ya cuz God Forbid anybody have any excusess. It's no big deal. He was just our shut down D-Man and one of the leaders of our PP. Life just got a lot easier for Sid and Malkin and you know it! This going to be a tough loss for the Flyers.

Game 1, 4-1 Wings at the end of the 2nd.

Good start to the game, now they need to finish the way they started.

Barry Melrose said that the Stars beat 2 of the best 3 teams in the league already. He doesnt think they can beat the 3rd.

GO WINGS!!!!!

You mean like how the Pens played a large portion of the season without Sidney Crosby AND Marc Andre Fleury and still won the division and came within a breath of winning the whole conference?

Don't give up on your TEAM so easily.

First of all I have not gven up on my team! Losing Timonen is huge. There's a big differce between losing a player for part of the regular season and losing him for the confernce finals! The Flyers have played almost all year without Gagne. They lost Hatcher for over half the season including the playoff run. They also lost Ricjards for most of their playoff run. Lupul and Upshall both missed over 20 games each.

It's crunch time and to not have your top defenseman is a major blow.
