with a slight chance of lebda

Who's giving all these a minus 1? Probs a Hawks fan. GOALLLLLL FLYERS!!! :siren:

I'm 93% sure that on 58% of days that's Eva Unit Zero's job.

i'd say there's about a 99% chance of that happening

WOOOHOOOO GO FLYERS!!!!

We have a crapologist named Lebda. Maybe Yzerman should take him too.

I'd rather trade Boston for their number 15 pick to ensure we get McIlrath.

I don't expect a sweep, so tonight very well could be the Flyers' night to win. Eager keeps the game puck.

I actually don't hate Crosby, unlike a lot of people here. In most of the bashing threads, I'm usually painted as a slappy because I don't contribute to the blind hate. And I never said he consciously decided not to. Way back when it happened, I was pointing out to people that Chelios intentionally skipped the handshake line when the Wings lost to the Ducks in the conference finals, but he got a free pass for it. My point was that Crosby has these string of missteps that sort of contribute to his aura of douchiness. He's a great player and most of the hatred he gets is completely unfounded. But he comes off as just a little ***** sometimes, which makes him pretty easy to hate. Ovechkin has a much greater track record of questionable incidents, on and off the ice, but gets cut a lot more slack because of his personality. In the list of irritations, Crosby not shaking hands ranks pretty low. It's just a small sign of his immaturity that he didn't even think to shake hands, no matter who was interviewing him. I understand why they did it, but honestly I think Crosby was given the C while he was too young.

This!! I've been saying this also. Market the Americans since most of the market is in America!

Cheapshots? Are we talking about the same player? When I think of cheapshots I think of Ovechkin putting a player into the boards from behind, or kneeing other players. You know actually plays that could end careers? Crosby isn't an angel on the ice, but hockey is a physical and emotional game I'd be worried if a player didn't show any emotion. I hate the diving, but it's up to the NHL to enforce it not the players. Hockey is a competitive game and you have to use every advantage you can. Don't act like Crosby is the pioneer of embellishing. Getzlaf and Ryan are not in the same class as Crosby/Ovechkin are. As a league you have to market your very BEST players. I don't even really care about marketing, I just like watching hockey and watching Ovechkin/Crosby play is quite a treat and I'm happy to leave it at that. Marketing is about attracting new fans, not to satisfy existing fans that's what the game itself is for.

I'm happy to see Ville do well. Strange that he has turned into the force that we thought he would. Too bad he wasn't playing better prior to the trade to increase his value, a third rounder is more appropriate.

FLYERS WIN!!!!

they are a little bit to quick with their horn....

Agitates a team and a fan base just by taking a puck. The man is a genius.

So... Kindl, Ritola, Ericsson and 1st rounder.

Funny how I get a negative for saying Go Hawks.

Yes we are the same team. Our window of opportunity to win cups ended last year with our choke job against Pittsburgh. It will take an overhaul for us to get in a position to be a contender again. We are too old and too soft to win in the playoffs and Howard SUCKED in the playoffs.

So are you going to say sorry to Pronger for calling him "a piece of s***"? after all it was Briere? Stealing pucks, who cares, like GMR said they should have done something about. I dont love Pronger but he is good at what he does.

Playing Devil's advocate. Well when I play hockey I tend to spit everywhere and not even realize it, it's not the right thing to do, but it's not like he spit at a player. And the puck thing is a move to get under the skin of the opposition. It's pretty low, but it's nothing completely outrageous. He's playing the media and trying to throw Chicago off. It's about the only chance he has to win the Stanley Cup.

Fair enough. esteef

^ Yes, it's a terrible comparison because the NFL does it better and that doesn't jive with your position. People are tired of Crosby, end of story. esteef

Please, you ever heard of Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, Brett Favre, Brian Urlacher, Ocho-butthole, TO, Reggie Bush, etc, etc, etc...? esteef

Did you just say that Getzlaf has close to the same PPG as Crosby? Crosby's career PPG is 1.36, Getzlaf's is 0.93. Getzlaf's BEST season was 1.12, Crosby WORST season was 1.26.
