Alas poor Lupul, we never knew you all that well. My girlfriend thought you were hot and loved when you played guitar for NHLtv. Get well soon you pallandromatic son of a bitch.
Flyers Fans: We've survived Lock-outs, Lindros and Cooperalls. If you want to get rid of us, you'll have to split an atom or two.
I do not miss Lupul and his “Yo, brah” approach to the game. At all.
That said, I hate to see him continue to have bad luck with his health. I hope he gets better.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I didn’t say I miss him. I miss his natural scoring and stick-handling talent, if we could give that all to let’s say Carcillo that’d be awesome. But yeah, as with you, I hope he gets better so he can go back to doing what he loves (supposedly).

By the way, I remember a conversation between Coatesy and JJ back in 1993-94, when they were the radio broadcast team. The Flyers were playing the Ottawa Senators. The Sens had Francois Leroux, a big defenseman who was a gentle giant. He was big but didn’t play “big.” Meanwhile, the Flyers had Al Conroy, who was maybe 5’7" but played with reckless abandon. Coates and Jackson were both commenting on this, saying how one would expect things to be different from how they were. In other words, they thought it would be more reasonable to expect Leroux to play like Conroy, and vice versa.
Coatesy: “Do you think we could somehow take all of Al Conroy’s energy and somehow transplant it into Leroux and see what happens?”
JJ: “No, I don’t think so.”
(Laughter.)

FlyersTV has Riley Cote Fights that has a running time of a whopping 36 seconds, which, by the way, is more than his average TOI.

I wish him a speedy recovery
…but I am very glad his 4.25M is not on our books. Since we traded him he has played 26 games.
Right move at the right time by Homer.
Yeah, I was having that problem earlier but it looks like it’s fixed now.

I think SBN in general was having some problems this morning. All good now, it seems.

What happened to grading the Flyers? It seems like there hasn’t been one in a while

Right now on EPIX
If you have it, the Rob Lowe/Patrick Swayze classic, “Youngblood.” Complete with bad Quebecquois accent-bearing, unknown Keanu Reeves as a goaltender. LOL.
Peter Zezel, why did you agree to be in this crap? I still enjoy it for the cheese factor alone.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
Damnit Lupul, you need to score 35 goals, at the very least for the laughs.
