Ditto that!

Let's Go Flyers!

If the game is still too fast for you, then your eyes are getting old.

NHL Playoff Hockey is the best sport on TV.

I try to get to at least one Bruins game each season. And we take the kids to Providence for the Minor league Bruins games. And since my alma matta is a D1 Hockey East school, I usually take in a game and meet up with my old professors for a drink or two.

All three leagues are great hockey to attend.

Only in the NHL is fighting allowed.

I think too big a deal is made about it. Most games don't have a real fight. Some pushing or grabbing and a penalty, but not a real fight. It adds a dimension to the game that has an influence on results. But I never watched a game and complained because there wasn't a fight.

It's like an offensive lineman holding. It's always there, but if you don't dwell on it then it won't bother you.

The league should contract.

Two teams immediately. Another two in 4 years. Etc.

Until the nation wants more, the league shouldn't force it. Give me the Original 6 and I'm fine!

My best memory besides the 2 Stanley Cups was the '76 game against the Soviet Red Army. The Soviets had decimated every NHL team they had played during the series, except for Montreal whom they had tied, coming into the final game against Philly undefeated. The Soviets pulled their players from the ice after Flyer's defensemen Ed Van Impe applied a "legal" check to a soviet player, putting him to the ice for over a minute. The Soviets returned after they where told that if they didn't play, they wouldn't be paid. Flyers won the game 4 to 1 handing the Soviets their only loss of the series. Now that was hockey.

I can see how the game had to change to protect the players, but I still miss it.

We're on a roll... yeah we're on a roll!!!
