"Help Needed: Goalie" posters seen in South Philadelphia

PrintFor all the talk we have around here about how the goaltending issue is overblown and for all the case-making we've done on how the Flyers shouldn't sign a big-name, expensive netminder this summer, we can still laugh about our serious misfortune in the crease.
Likewise, via a tip from reader Huggie Butterworth (seriously):
I think, sadly, some of the inspiration came from this video. And that sucks. But funny, nonetheless.

Lyle Richardson at THN is spreading rumors spun by Chuck Gormley that we’re going to get Backstrom from the Wild for either Carter or Versteeg/ Carle. Gormley also says we’re looking into obtaining Miller, Lundquist or Brodeur, as well as repeating other rumors from other so-called journalists citing interest in Kipprusoff and JSG. Honestly Chuck, give us something intelligent to read or just shut the hell up.
We gain a little more than 600k in cap space with that deal for next season. Not a lot of space. But it will never happen. The Wild would then need to find a replacement stud goalie.
I wouldn’t. Not even close.

You wouldn’t want to give up a young cost-controlled top-4 defender and a young cost-controlled top-9 forward for a goalie with a career ESS% that is 0.00019 better than our current goalie’s (and who costs $4.5M/yr more)?
Why not?
:)

I haven’t seen these signs, where exactly in SP where they posted?
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
Not sure. I didn’t see them. Someone emailed me the picture.

I think that Mets commercial is funny, too.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Oh, it’s great.

You guys can have Kipper. 3rd round pick sound good? I’ll drive him to the airport for you and everything.
I don’t understand why you think we have draft picks. We would rather give you Shelley. To make the exchange I suggest we meet at opposite ends of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and make them walk across simultaneously, Cold War-style.

I know what Geoff says, but...
If we could get a good goalie, for a reasonable good goalie price (which is nothing like what we’re paying for ours now), I really don’t think it’s a bad idea at all. Would boost morale, if nothing else.

Oh yeah, a question for you……
Do you know of a website w/ reliable information on the safe handling and transportation of indium, gallium, and diselinide as they relate to their processing and use in manufacturing thin-film CIGS solar cells? I was thinking you might know some online shortcuts that I don’t.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh…
not really?
Sorry, I haven’t really worked with that stuff.

Gee, if only there were someone on this website who worked on thin film solar cell research and manufacturing.
I guess he’s so out of luck.

Cuz da brothas n sistas dun watch hockey.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
Although very busy running the city, I am sure plenty of black people watch hockey and won’t admit it.

That is totally cool. But I do think a lot of African Americans feel it is a “white sport” and I have seen first hand racists remark that they like hockey because it is played by a majority of white players. It’s a shame because hockey contains the elements of both basketball and football that would entertain any culture.

How about we cut out all of this talk, okay?

I didn’t mean it negativly, but I reread and realize it doesn’t sound to nice. Sorry :( Don’t mean to offend anyone, everyone can be a fan or play hockey

I meant that in a sense of why was that necessary to say. It took a very funny thing and made it unnecessarily strange.

looks photoshopped to me, the “sign” is just an image, skewed to look like it’s on the pole or w/e that is..
Does it really matter if it is, though? Actually hanging it in South Philly and photographing it or photoshopping it and spreading it all over the internet, the effect is pretty much the same, I think.
