Getting a jump start on this, rather than starting it in November when I'm sad about the state of the team.
Maybe it will spark them in to starting the season in October with the rest of the league.
Bright side of the team’s struggles, the draft is a good one. I read the other day someone comparing it to the 03 draft which was one of the best in nhl history. Dahlin, ‘best Swedish defenseman since Lidstrom’ and Svechnikov, ‘Malkin-like’ lead the way. But lots of talent throughout the first...
altering the thread name, hope for some better juju
here's hoping next year looks like:
lindblom-giroux-voracek
weal-filpula-simmonds
schenn-couturier-weiss
konecny-vechionne-bellemare
provorov-myers
ghost-gudas
morin-hagg
someone good, but not signed for too long
neuvirth
or better :)
It's that time...
Maxime Comtois
Martin Necas
Eeli Tolvanen
Cody Glass
Kristian Vesalainen
Owen Tippet
are my interests at the moment. probably Necas and Tolvanen at the top, though they are projected to go pretty early.
Tweeters tweeting that teams will likely have the option to protect 7 forwards, 3 dmen, 1 goalie, or just 8 skaters and 1 goalie
1st and 2nd year pros protected
Prospects protected
Giroux, Couturier, Simmonds, Schenn, MDZ, Mase, are the obvious ones.. who else do you protect?

2013 Acura ILX - 65,000 miles
Driving down the highway, 75mph or so in 6th gear (manual transmission) on Saturday the engine started misfiring and the emissions warning light came on. First time it happened I pulled over, restarted the car, everything seemed to go fine as I shifted up to 6th...
I think we need a more uplifting thread for us eliminated folks!
Thinking of trying to put together a mock draft of the 14 lottery spots (plus any new comers that want to join when their team gets eliminated).
My thought is to have 1 person post your team's pick with a description of why your...
1. The Pens will miss the playoffs
2. The Flyers will lead the league in PP%.
3. Vinny Lecavalier will score 30+ goals.
4. John Tavares will win the Art Ross
5. Martin Broduer will sign with a team when their starter gets hurt, and lead them to the playoffs.
Looks like the boys are dressing close to a full lineup tonight
Schenn.Giroux.Voracek
Raffl.Lecavalier.Umberger
Read.Couturier.Jones
Rinaldo.Bellemare.Akeson
Coburn.MacDonald
Streit.Grossmann
MDZ.Schenn
Mason
Zepp (I think - Just giving Emery the night off since he played Tuesday)...
from what I can see the Flyers/Caps game will be on TCN in philly, and it looks like there's a chance it's streamed on NHL Gamecenter as well :hope:
closest we have to rosters for the games: Training Camp: Let the games begin - Philadelphia Flyers - News
I haven't seen anything about the...
Figure it's about time to start up a preseason thread!

9/16 - Flyers Rookies vs. Caps Rookies (game is at 3pm and open to the public)
9/19 - Full Camp Starts
9/22 - First Preseason Games (split squad: "@" Maple Leafs, vs. Capitals)
Rookie Roster w/ photos...
in Philadelphia!
a couple links to get the conversation going.. i haven't really looked at it a ton yet, but Sami Kapanen's son Kasperi is draft eligible this year, projected to go in the 10-15 range of the 1st round. I'd love the flyers to get him if they can.
