Another great tweet from Stefan Leigen:

I don’t follow the European leagues, can someone tell me how the level of competition is? That’s insane that Kovar has started 44 games in a row. What kind of coach would do that?
I'm kind of a dick.
I remember Teemu trying to explain the Czech Extraliga, and I think he compared it to the league Eriksson played in last year. Not quite the Swedish Elite League, but slightly better than the Allsvensken (or whatever).
Also, yes, his coach is insane. But Roman Turek was the starter for Kovar’s team, until he retired during training camp. That doesn’t excuse 44 starts in a row, but it explains why they’re leaning heavily on Kovar.

Would you say the Swedish Elite is the top European league? I go on hockeydb.com and hockeyreference.com and browse through the outside leagues, but that doesn’t give me any really good data outside of recognizing a few names here and there….
Also, are the majority of the European leagues development leagues? Or are they like the KHL?
I'm kind of a dick.
These are both really good questions and I honestly don’t know the answer.
I think the SEL is the top European league, but it changes so frequently that I could easily be wrong. This also assumes the KHL isn’t included in “European league”.
And my understanding is that most of the leagues are like the U.S.: They have the main league (SEL, Swiss, DEL, etc.) and each country/league have their own minor leagues. I’m sure Kat could speak more intelligently on this than me, and I know Teemu can, but again, this is my understanding.
Don’t take it as fact haha.

44 straight games could mean it’s insane, but I don’t think they play as often as the NHL does so you get more time off…then again I wouldn’t know.
Defending Carter until 2021...
I agree with Geoff – if you don’t count the KHL as European, the Swedish Elitserien (SEL) is probably the top league in Europe. The Czech Extraliga would be in the top tier of leagues, along with the KHL, SEL, and Finnish SM-Liiga.
Most of the European leagues have multiple tiers, and work on the relegation system, where the top teams of lower leagues have the chance to swap places with the bottom teams of higher leagues. For example, Eriksson played for Leksands last year in Allsvenskan, the second league. Leksands won Elitserien three times in the 80s and 90s, but was relegated most recently after the 2005-06 season.
Bob.
This is correct.

I think it’s a matter of opinion on how to rank the rest of the leagues after the KHL. The Swedish Elitserien is often considered the second best. Finnish SM-Liiga and Swiss Nationalliga are pretty much up there with Elitserien. Czech Extraliga used to be up there too, but it’s taken a bit of a hit in the recent years, so I’d say it’s a bit below the other top leagues right now.
As Geoff said, the leagues work pretty much the same way everywhere, so the top leagues don’t really exist for just developmental purposes. KHL has the most money, so it just makes them the top of the food chain.
I agree. Czech Extraliga is not in the top anymore, or in my opinion it isn’t. There are still some people who would tell you it’s in the top right where SEL or KHL is but they are just blind to see the reality. Simply the fact that Krajicek is the best defensman with the highest salary in the league should give you the hint.
As for Kovar and his starts. Well, it’s a bit sick even to me. It’s true the schedule is definitely not that packed as the NHL schedule, there are hardly ever back-to-back games. The games are usually played on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, with few exceptions. So it’s really not THAT bad as it might seem. When your goalie is hot, you can start him pretty much the whole season over here.

Part of the reason the ELH isn’t so high any more may be because the Czech Republic is #4 in NHL players, behind Canada, Sweden, and the United States. There are 51 Swedes, 36 Czechs, 25 Russians, 20 Finns, and 3 Swiss.
Bob.
Well, Czech hockey as a whole has been in a decline for a few years but nobody was willing to do much until recently. Seeing how we struggled at the Olympics and how our juniors or U-18 teams pretty much suck and how much behind the top nations (Canada, US, Sweden, Russia, Finland) we are, people finally seem to realize that change must be done. So far, there has been more talking than any real action but this won’t happen over a night. It will take years before we are in the top again. As for your numbers… we used to be #3 in the NHL. It only shows that interest in our players has declined as well.

#4 ain't bad...
Yeah, I remember y’all had something like 57 players a couple years back. There have been a lot of great Czech players – Jagr, Holik, Straka, Nedved. Even now, you’ve got Elias, Hejduk, and Prospal. I found an awesome chart at quanthockey that shows players by nationality since the league started:
Bob.
I missed both games this weekend due to fiance duty, so I’m particularly snarky this morning. That said, Legein is actually making me consider signing up for twitter.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!
Is this the right room for an argument?
Fiancee, you mean?
No need for Twitter when you can just RSS them. Watching Legein and Syvret go back and forth is pretty damn entertaining. Andrew Rowe? His Twitter sucks.

No I had to do the work, it’s like boyfriend duty (your duty as the boyfriend), so the masculine fiance is the appropriate word here.

Ah. I missed that. You are correct.
Still, I expected a more ornery response since you said you were particularly snarky. Did you see Kat’s new gifs in the game thread? She was asking where you, Shaun, and Travis were.

Nope. I’m never in game threads anyway, everything else disappears when hockey is on in my house. I was out looking at churches for the wedding.

You know next week there isn’t any football or Flyers hockey on during the weekend. Better planning and excuses are needed. Comes with time you will learn. You have to start with the injuries on Thursday to work them into the weekend and slow play them.
Twisted knee or ankle on some ice might have worked. Pop a couple of Advil even wrap it up. Friday add a limp. Then Saturday back tightens up from the limp and Sunday you need to just relax and take it easy with busy work week ahead.
1) My fiancee isn’t available next weekend.
2) By looking at churches during the day, i got to go play open ice at night, and playing hockey is far better than watching it…always.

It’s one more social networking site I can get addicted to. No need for that.
As far as getting all the new articles, that’s what RSS is for. I don’t even RSS Carchidi and Panaccio, mainly because I don’t read Sam and I have CSNPhilly/Flyers to read Gramps.

I go on, check status updates from people, look at some fan pages that I like, and leave unless someone I actually like is on chat. But thats as far as I go. I upload pics and write a status every so often, but thats about it. Im only really into a select few sites. This, the good phight, and a few video game and gadget blogs. I really don’t comment on other sites.

I stay the hell away from the games.
I use Facebook for keeping in touch with friends and family, letting off the occasional zinger of a status update, and picking peoples’ brains. It’s a great way to get questions answered.

It’s also a good way to keep in touch with some of my former students. They’re graduating high school this year, and they went from being angry, jaded inner city kids to being honor students who are going to college next year. I couldn’t be more proud.

I stopped playing FB games around last Christmas. Because of the studying and all I just didn’t have time for them. Then I realized I don’t really need some pointless games in my life and stopped playing them. Though I kinda miss Restaurant City. I was a boss. Lol. Well… I don’t really go on FB that often anymore anyway… I’m here, on Tumblr and on Twitter. That’s pretty much it.

I don’t believe Gagne is guaranteed to be on either team at that point, so I believe that throws in some doubt. Unless you can convince him to show up and officiate the ceremony. Also, do you have an in with NHL scheduling I don’t know about? Did it come from your access to The Room?

Yeah I know that, but her affinity for the Flyers stemmed from Gagne, and her chosen date has come from her love (obsession?) for Gagne as well. So I’m assuming Gagne being present if it’s held at a hockey game is a pretty big deal.

We’re overlooking something. If Gagne is there, is she really going to want to go through with the marriage to Todd?

This is sad ! I grew up in that building ! all the FLYERS, Phantoms games and Concerts that I went to in that building.
Why couldnt they just put a Stadium Under the new PHILLY LIVE thing that they are building and bring the PHANTOMS back from Siberia – I mean – Adirondack. (same thing)
The MSG is under a Train Station. It Definitely can be done !
The Phantoms have gone in the Toilet since the move to Adirondack. Ticket sales are waaayyyy down. The team stinks. Bring them back to philadelphia close to Holmgren and the Management staff to control so that you wont have Situations like the Patrick Maroon situation that happened this year.
Dont you agree people?

I can’t imagine the long-term plan is to leave the Phantoms in Adirondack, is it? I figured it was temporary until they could build them a new place to play in the Philly/NJ area. That doesn’t happen overnight.

They have actually started moving on this. I don’t think the stadium is a guarantee, but they’re improving infrastructure and what not in the area that it’s being proposed.
I read the mayor of Allentown recently said if it’s approved, the earliest they could have everything in place, and the stadium built is 2013….

Near the Coca-Cola park, I think. I’m not sure of the exact location, but I believe it’s somewhere along American Parkway. It’s supposed to be part of a large river-front project.

Stefan Legein Was a bust when we got him
If people question someone’s Heart, Fire and Passion, Then he obviously is not COMMITTED. We shouldn’t have wasted a draft pick on him.
Mike Richards – Good for you ! SNUBB the ASG and Gary Bettman and the NHL for not giving Credit and P.R. where its due equally. The one thing I cannot stand about the NHL is that it has its Golden Childs and its Glory Teams that it Gushes and falls all over in love with and the rest are just players and teams. Its like, Are you in the Circle? and I hate that junk !
Plus its good that Richards gets his rest and ready for the Game
Amazing how the Mega STAR super Popular Pittsburgh had 4 voted to the ASG but only 2 are showing up, The least popular players of the 4 stars. Haha !

The Flyers never drafted Legein. Instead, the player the Flyers traded for Legein was just exiled out of professional hockey, while Legein has the third highest points per game among forwards this year. Among forward “prospects” (Hamel and Ryan are ahead of him), he’s 1st in points per game.
Say what you want about his decision to retire, and subsequently his “heart”, but he’s performing on the ice. If that isn’t a sign of commitment, I’m not sure what is.

The Flyers gave up a terrible player – so much so that a team without defense (Columbus) can’t even use him – to acquire a first-line AHL forward.

I remember a story about Upshall wanting to retire after he was sent down to the AHL after only a couple games into the season with Nasville. He was like 22 and never cracked the lineup consistently. Then he was traded the next year midway through the season where he only had like 9 pts in 30 games to us. You could have called him a bust at that point too, but he turned his career around.
Samesis

On their roster? Not many.
But they really aren’t that bad with their top picks:
2000 – Rostislav Klesla
2001 – Pascal Leclair
2001 – (2nd) Tim Jackman
2002 – Nash
2003 – Zherdev
2004 – Alexandre Picard (fail)
2005 – Gilbert Brule
2006 – Derek Brassard
2007 – Jakub Voracek
2008 – Nikita Filatov
No, that’s not great. But Brule is solid for Edmonton, Brassard is decent if disappointing, Voracek is solid, Filatov is an enigma, Zherdev is what he is…
That’s probably a B, B- without looking at who else was available.

It’s not a “snub” if Richards hasn’t even been invited to the ASG. That’s only speculation by the Philly media. Also, dude is busy. Has plans already. You can’t drop that crap on him last second and expect him to go. :-p lol

While I agree, he may have plans, but he is single. If he was married with kids, Then that would hold more water about not cancelling his plans.
IMHO – Which stinks like my butthole – I think he was like – Meh, $crew em, I am going fishing in Kenora with some buddies. I wasnt even considered or Marketed.
Thats what I think he feels, which I really dont know, I am not in his head. But thats probably how I would feel if I was him.
Richards outside Philadelphia is not really appreciated or Marketed as a Star or SuperStar but he should be because of his Leadership, Work Ethic, Commitment to the organization, Shorthanded skills and Ect ect ect. I could go on and on.
He is, Again, IMHO a diverse well rounded player. one of the best well rounded too.

I like Chicago—it’s a fun city. But this romantic notion of Cubs fans as “lovable losers” is a fantasy. They are just as mean and ornery as any Philly fan.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
I love Chicago. It’s a beautiful city with lots of cool stuff to do and the people are really nice.
I think a good rule of thumb is “Don’t go into one city wearing another city’s team colors, and you’ll be treated nicely.”

Agreed. My issue is this painting any fanbase with broad brushstrokes just leads people to search for confirmation bias. I was actually treated quite well at the Cubs game even with Philly gear on—but there was plenty of bad behaviour around like you’d find anywhere. Doesn’t bother me.
I didn’t think the people in Chicago were really nice so much as not mean. Midwesteners are a different breed. Sort of indifferent.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
Indifferent isn’t quite right. I think most people are actively nice, but there’s also a bit of a passive aggressive edge to it. Tough to really describe fully, and I’ve tried many, many times to do so.
The most passive aggressive people are down south, however. I think pretty much every region has some passive aggressive tendencies aside from the NE, which is just flat-out aggressive.

I like to think Eagles fans know a little something about judging a quarterback entirely on his last game of the season.
Crap, they judge QBs from quarter to quarter in Philly.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
7 uncocncused passes before we decide if they are a bust or not, no matter how bad the team around him is and how good the opposing D is, thats all they get.

Kevin Kolb got the royal shaft from the Eagles in general. I hope that he goes somewhere and becomes a standout QB just to stick it in Reid’s face… the same face which said “HHHHHHHH We have a chance to win a Super Bowl with Mike Vick.”

Yeah. I love the Eagles, and I still like Vick regardless, ut I really couldn’t root that hard for the eagles last year. I really can’t stand Fat Andy or the whole staff in general.
Samesis

Andy’s really good at some things and really, really lousy at others. I just wish he’d leave the stuff he’s bad at (in game adjustments, clock management) to someone else.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
He is the worst adjuster. He’s had the same gameplan for 11 years now. I just think its time for a new face personally. Hes become predictable to good teams over the past few years.
BTW, for everyone that says we need Vick because our o-line sucks. Vick’s sack per pass attempt last year was a 1:3(does not include plays where he ran for 3+ yards.) worst in the NFL. Kevin Kolb was a 1:6, league average is 1:6.5.

Andy is really good at a lot of things. Not one of which occurs on game day. Period!

"You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
Vick was a helluva lot of fun to watch, no doubt.
I just think that in any sport, a team has to go through growing pains together. That’s how you build a winner. Draft talented players and let them grow together. In football, that’s from the QB on out. That’s what Green Bay did with Aaron Rodgers and look at them now.
The Eagles have somewhat done this with key players (Jackson, McCoy, Maclin, and Celek) but I would have accepted a losing season to give Kolb a chance to mesh with those guys. But no, once he got hurt and Vick beat the Lions, the Eagles had a magical “chance to win a Super Bowl” and that window of opportunity was slammed shut.

I saw Pavement at the Mann this past September. Stephen Malkmus is a big sports fan and dedicated the song “Unfair” to Kevin Kolb. It was priceless, and spot-on.

I’m still not entirely comfortable with Vick as longterm solution. I’d franchise him and keep Kolb. With MV’s style of play, KK will still start.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
For some reason I saw KK and thought “Kyle Kendrick.”
Kendrick was actually a QB as well, wasn’t he?

I am hoping for 100% more Vance Worley. Last night Eskin slammed Blanton on that stupid Sunday night show he does and I wanted to rip his beard off. If Blanton’s the teams’ 5th starter, that’s one helluva rotation. Probably won’t happen, though.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
I doubt it.
I’d be happy with R2C2 / The Fantastic Four and Worley.
Kendrick can bullpen. Ground-ball outs!

I don’t really want to see KK in the bullpen, though. Unless it’s as a long man. No pressure situations for a guy who doesn’t have an out pitch or can’t get outs via the SO.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
I think a long-man role is best suited for KK.
Since I refer to Matt Walker as “Pat Faulkner,” Kyle Kendrick will now be “Lyle Fenwick.”
I think a long-relief role is best suited for Lyle Fenwick.

Kolb already “said” that he wont come back regardless. He said his goal is to start next year and he says it doesnt have to be the Eagles. I bet he holds out and we trade him, and I really don’t blame him because he was just as good as Vick when he played with the starters.

That’s the exact opposite of “not coming back regardless.” His “coming back” specifically regards his starting status here.

Writer at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
I’m amused by NHL.com’s home page at the moment. Obviously, the top news article is Crosby sitting out of the ASG. But the second one is called “Besting Bob,” Hossa beating Bob on the penalty shot. It’s just funny to me what a big deal the NHL makes of the only goal Chicago managed to score in the game. Heck, under the NHL Video/Shows section, it even labels that video “Hossa makes them pay on a penalty shot.” It’s enough to make my tin foil hat tingle.

When a team needs a penalty shot to score their only goal of the game, that’s not a good thing, NHL!

To NOT be OT for one time,
I don’t really know if I like the changes planned for the Lightning jersey. I’m okay with the laces on the jersey (I always thought those were pretty neat) and I don’t mind having blue as a dominant color. What I do NOT like is the fact they are turning the Bolts into Toronto Maple Leafs or Dead uh Red Wings of the South East.
I’m somewhat fine with getting rid of the black but what I don’t want to lose is the silver. That’s the color I genuinely love on our jerseys and it makes the logo absolutely amazing. Having all the jerseys I can really tell you that the silver features on the jerseys are what makes those jerseys unique. I really don’t understand why they want to drop them.
I don’t want to be too judgemental ‘cause I haven’t seen the design yet but I think that Lightning without silver will be a disappointment for me. As for the logo change… well… I like the current one but without seeing anything I can’t really comment on it.
I'm in love with the Lightning, the Flyers are my fling and I have a crush on the Flyers fans.
Dare to follow my childish, biased, petty and cheesy alter ego.
American Cheese, B!tch! ... #1 mission? Kill Holmgren.
I agree about the silver, but I’ve never been a fan of the Lightning jerseys.
The new ones could certainly be terrible, but I’m not sure they can be much worse than what they have now. Just bland and unoriginal.

Sometimes they do go in different directions, though, for those unfortunate women.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
This is true. Unfortunate indeed.

Modern-day hipsters draw from various subcultural fashions – hippie, indie, emo, punk, new wave, even grunge and 1980s hip-hop.
Hipsters are all about appearance and condescending attitude. It’s more important for them to be SEEN at a place than to be IN THE MOMENT at that particular place.

Well I personally think the current jerseys aren’t that bad, but yeah I am biased ;) I’m also wondering what happens with the socks and pants. I hope they keep the bolt on their pants (don’t care what people think, I totally love it!). Though I wouldn’t mind if they changed their socks. I want the stripes to go all around the leg.

I had chicken tenders for lunch and I used BBQ sauce that said “best used by December 30, 2010.” I figured, no big deal, hasn’t been that long.
The sauce is sitting in the lid of the styrofoam container and it’s bleeding brown juice. I’ve stopped eating.

The BSH Ten Commandments:
1. We are the Flyers, your Hockey Club, who brought you out of the Era of Losing Philadelphia Teams, out of the house of pain. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not buy for yourself any jersey, or any likeness of any other Club that skates in rinks across the NHL, or that visits the Wells Fargo Center ice; you shall not bow down to other Clubs nor serve them. For We, the Flyers your Club, are a jealous Club, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Us, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Us and keep Our commandments.
3. You shall not take the name of the Five Guys Burgers in vain, for the Blog Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes Five Guys’ name in vain.
4. Remember the Game Days, to keep them holy. All other days you shall indulge in procrastination and flirtation in the Morning Fly-By Threads, but the Game Days are The Most Serious for the Flyers your Club. On them you shall do no work until the Games are Completed.
5. Honor your Staffers and your Designer, that your membership may be long upon the blog which your Blog Lord is giving you.
6. You shall not call each other names in a mean-spirited fashion.
7. You shall not commit adultery with Katchis, because she’s marrying Todd (or possibly Justin).
8. You shall not steal another blog member’s man-crush, or regular crush. You ESPECIALLY shall not steal from Geoff his cherished Brian Boucher or Matt Calvert.
9. You shall not bear false witness against Don.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s Club, especially if you’re like Heather and live next to a Penguins fan; you shall not covet your blog-neighbor’s avatar, nor his/her signature, nor his/her animated GIFs, nor anything that is your blog-neighbor’s.

I have a ton of other NHL jerseys, a bunch of game worn ones, and some just ones I like. I do not own any Penguins jerseys, but I would buy a yellow Lemiux one if I had a bunch of extra cash.

I do have a royal blue Maple Leafs Gilmour jersey. But I got that when I was 16 and the Leafs were in the Norris Division.

I used to have a Bruins practice jersey, but I got rid of it because it was stupid. It was just a black mesh jersey with the gold Bruins Hub logo on the front.

I have the OMGagne shirt, but no player tees. They didn’t get popular until after he wasnt the best player on the team anymore sadly. Though Gagne is a legend and a player tee would be useful forever i guess. plus, they are like $12 on NHL shop haha.

I’m not hating on you here, because you like to get a lot of player jerseys, and that’s an affordable way to do it, but don’t try to tell me the only difference is the material because that’s freaking hilarious.

There’s also only one jersey that represents his first NHL goal, his first playoff game, etc.
We’ve spent a long time arguing on here that the ASG are a personal, but ultimately meaningless, honor. I don’t see any sense in buying a jersey to represent that, winstead one that represents his role as part of the team..
My feelings are, If Im gonna spent the $175 or whatever they charge now for jerseys, Im getting the Flyers version, not the ASG one.
I do want to get a Gretzky jersey one day(either Edmonton or LA).
Samesis
PSN - philliesflyers89
Yeah, I guess I just own too many former Flyer jerseys to feel that way any more.
I prefer the uniqueness of the ASG jersey or International jersey. The fact that team jerseys are so easily accessible takes away the meaning of first goal, first playoff game (unless of course you get the game worn one) in my opinion. This is why I like the uniqueness of an ASG jersey, you remember it as their first, where I look at my Flyers jerseys and think, one of many.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!
Is this the right room for an argument?
Do you remember, off the the top of your head, the all-star jersey that Richie wore? Or Carter? Kimmo? Mez(yes, he made an all-star before)? I hate people who wear the all-star, or the olympic jerseys to flyers games. It just looks, tacky IMO.
Samesis

Richards was in Atlantas, it was red, with white stars with a silver outline on them. He wore 10.
Carter’s was Montreal, it had the white sleeve with his number (7) and then the red sleeve with the blue stars with the Habs ASG dates on them.
Timonen was the Green one from Minnesota with the off white (I almost bought it).
I wear both to Flyers games because they are some of the best jersey IMO, especially international ones.

Yeah, but an ASG or Olympic jersey in and of itself is not tacky.

John said wearing ASG and Olympic jerseys to games are tacky.
Don said any hockey jersey worn to any hockey game cannot be considered tacky.
I refuted Don’s absolute statement.

My only exception to preferring official stuff is when there ISN’T official. I have a replica Cincinatti Reds jersey for Jake Daubert, because he played before the modern era and is a relative of mine (and it was a damn sight easier than getting a Brooklyn Robins jersey made).

Not so fast. You can buy incorrect van Riemsdyk jerseys at the Wells Fargo Center. They say “VAN RIEMSDYK” instead of “van RIEMSDYK”.

This is very true, I have a HUGE problem with those jerseys.
Also the name plates are all totally incorrectly sized.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!
Is this the right room for an argument?
But I was trying to be nice to John.

Oh, I can let you know issues with ordering off of NHL.com for ASG jerseys as well. There are a couple things in fine print you need to look out for.

On Authentics, if there is a team patch on the ASG jersey shoulder, NHL.com will not put it on, or provide it…you can only get those at the game, or if you buy the patch and sew it on (which is another reason why I love my Ovie Atlanta ASG one…which he signed for me).

Wait to see the teams and their jersey. If Giroux and Briere end up on separate teams, buy the jersey you like better. If they end up on the same team, buy Giroux regardless of jersey. Unless you absolutely hate that jersey. If Lavi is on the opposite team of Giroux and Briere who have a jersey you don’t like, buy a plain one of that one. Or a Crosby 2011 ASG jersey. Actually, yeah. Do that.

If you wait till after the game, the jerseys will be discounted. And by the end of the year, the ASG jerseys will be less the $100.

I know this late but I think anyone over 15 in a jersey is weird, unless you are playing of course. Just a quirky hang up of mine. A cool designer T or a cool pull over over something but a jersey is somewhat adolescent in my opinion. Feel free to kill me now.

I respect your opinion but disagree, probably only because I love jerseys. Though now that there’s so many awesome fan t-shirts available at BroadStreetyHockey.com … maybe I’ll rethink that love.

I generally agree with you, but only because I find most jerseys uncomfortable. The Flyers logo is smack dab in the middle of the chest and it’s just not comfy. Baseball jerseys are OK, but really the only comfy jerseys are football ones. I could sleep it them.
I’m a big shirsey person.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.

Samsies. I’ve got Giroux, Cliff Lee, and Roy Halladay. I don’t buy the jerseys because most are uncomfortable and they bring the teams bad luck.

It might be a generational thing. I mean, the jersey-wearing phenomenon is a pretty new concept. If you watch a game from even the 1980s, not many people are in jerseys. But since I can remember, most people have worn jerseys to games, and as a result, I think you’ll see a lot more grown people wearing jerseys in the next 20-30 years.

Yeah my Uncle Glenn, 60, hardly ever wears his jersey to the game. It’s a foul anyway (1 Parent on the Black jersey from 2000). However, my uncle Scott (43?ish?) wears his jersey every time (Clarke, 16) he even wore his Phantoms jersey to a Leafs vs. Oilers pre-season game we went to in Hamilton b/c that’s where the Bulldogs played. When Glenn was growing up all the guys wore suits to all the games.

Absolutely. I am sure you have done this and noticed this, but to everyone in general, if you do not have the Flyers 40th anniversary Top 10 games DVD, buy the set and watch the older games. No one in the stands is wearing a jersey.

The funny part is, when I was a kid, Me and my mom lived with my Grandparents, and my grandfather wouldnt let me play any shooter games on my N64, but on weekends and was at my Dads house, We would play all the games that were almost outlawed. That, and I once ended the career of Randy Moss in a game of NFL 98 haha.
