Broad Street Bullies are a thing of the past.
Once again the 51 million dollar backup fails. What was management thinking? This team is going to suck for a long time because of this. But it is not all Bryz fault. Laviolett is not a great coach.

He got lucky in 05-06 riding Cam Ward , who was awesome, then got fired. Anybody see a pattern here? The Flyers lack intensity. They lack the pack attitude. They play lazy. I have been watching the Flyers since 1970. This team is playing slightly out of step and slow. Time for a change of philosophy.

I’m a big fan of Tebow. do love the ridiculous offense he runs, 55 runs a game, etc. I would love to see them draft like two RBs this year since that offense would just chew through them over the course of a season.
Unlike most people, I don’t care about the preaching thing, I’m indifferent to it. I know some people think he shoves it in their face, but I don’t watch enough of him off the field to have to hear it. It’s no different to me than people who constantly talk about Obama or Bush. I just basically ignore it.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
honestly i dont notice him shoving it in my face. The only thing that i see him do on the field is his little kneel prayer every now and then, and its not like he is the only player in the league that does that.
If you watch at the end of the game they have a huge prayer huddle. I just think the media talks more about his beliefs then he does, and i wouldn’t know half of it if they didn’t let me know all everything he did.
I’m actually cautiously optimistic about the Broncos…if DT keeps playing like that and the defense can hit brady a few times I really think they can make a game of it, and if it’s close at the end it’s anyone’s game.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
I would scream with overwhelming joy if the Broncos manage to win this game.
I’m prepared for the worst, though.

if the patriots lose it ties them for the most consecutive loses in postseason. Suprising they lost there last 3 games in the playoffs.
they were talking about how if he loses this, his reputation will be tarnished. Cause the last time they won a game was right before that spygate scandal.
I mean, they did win 17 consecutive games after they caught him (they caught him during the Jets game in week 1)
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
shoot, ok i was gonna look up before i posted but didnt feel like it. I just tried to remember what i heard. Then they didnt win another after that? its because the film was still good for an extra year anyway.

it could be worse, they could be talking about bouncyball.
The media blitz trying to convince Philly to care about the sixers is really getting on my nerves. They’re Philly’s fifth team for a reason, I just want comcast to stop talking about them during hockey games.
Flyers, Phillies, Union, Eagles, Phantoms, Wings.
as much as I'd love the Wings to pass them...
box lacrosse is just too niche of a sport to do that. The Wings in their heyday could just about equal the sixers attendance, but not these days. Even if a winning season started packing the WFC, the lack of TV coverage would prevent them from claiming 5th.
I’d still like to go to a game again this year, but it’s a tough sell for people new to the sport.
Flyers, Phillies, Union, Eagles, Phantoms, Wings.
I’m biased. Lax was my favorite sport to play, even more so than hockey. It’s like a combination of hockey and soccer, so I was in my element.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
i played lacrosse for a couple years, but it kept getting in the way of baseball and i kind of moved towards that more and eventually gave up on lacrosse. But it was always one of my more fun sports to play.
I actually am a college lacrosse player, it’s without a doubt my favorite sport (hockey being number 2). Lacrosse was actually what drew me into hockey. I miss the Philly Barrage too, it’s a shame they folded.
by RogueConvict on Jan 14, 2012 7:26 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, I was dissapointed I never made it to Barrage games. I went to the MLL All-star tour thing they had at Villanova, and then was dissapointed Philly didn’t get a team right away.
I keep hoping that a new owner shows up, and cuts a deal to play at PPL Park with a new expansion team. Though I don’t entirely understand why, when so many players play both MLL and NLL, the leagues are run separately.
Flyers, Phillies, Union, Eagles, Phantoms, Wings.
Oh they’re completely different. Not as different as men’s and women’s lacrosse, but still very different. I play box in the winter offseason to keep my cardio and stick stills up, but other than that, very different games as far as strategy and tempo go.
by RogueConvict on Jan 14, 2012 7:46 PM EST up reply actions
I guess so, I know there are big differences. I guess I just figured that the sports were close enough, and some players jumped between, that it would make more sense to pool resources. I seem to remember a few years ago the NLL talked about starting its own outdoor league, but that died with the economy.
I also find it interesting to go over and read the stuff on InLaxWeTrust, pretty good coverage of the NLL and MLL.
Flyers, Phillies, Union, Eagles, Phantoms, Wings.
Having played both, they’re incredibly different sports. Think indoor soccer vs outdoor soccer.

I’m rooting so hard for the Niners, Broncos, GB, and Houston. Then I’ll be rooting for the Niners.
My playoff rooting philosophy has been “Please, No NYC, No Boston, No PIttsburgh, and No GB, and No Baltimore.”
I wouldn’t mind hearing them talk about SF’s history for a while, but I’m just so sick of hearing about those 5 cities, and ESPN would blow itself if they got NYC-Boston or Tebow-Eli
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
i dont mind NY beating GB as long as they dont reach the superbowl. Honestly i really dont care who wins the GB-NY game.
I don’t think I can handle 5 more years of Giants fans talking about Eli being the Superbowl MVP again. It’s just outrageous. Not to kill him, he’s certainly a starting NFL QB and a lot fo teams would like to have him, but how many awful passes does he luck out on? Nicks makes a 65 yard TD off a tipped ball…He throws a ball 8 yards on 3rd and 10 from his one and suddenly it’s a 99 yard TD as Cruz breaks 4 tackles…the Tyree catch in the Superbowl. It’s obnoxious.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
complete opposite of Vicks luck this year, where very tip ball was intercepted. But really i just dont want them making it to the super bowl. Cause it will just be “how many rings do you have!!” and i hate that argument. Although my giants fan friends are much cooler then the ones that root for the cowboys. still using the ring argument and you have 1 win in the bast 15 years?
If you’re from Philly the Giants fans are cooler because they actually have NY ties. The Dallas fans in Philly are just the NFC’s version of Steeler fans.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
Absolutely. I’m totally with you. As I said above, I just want for whoever wins to not be a city where it gets rubbed in my face. Now, that the Steelers have been tebowed, I want to see the Giants and Pats bow out. Texans? They are pretty harmless. I do love the city of New Orleans, so I wouldn’t mind seeing them win again.

Can’t blame him. Not to be a pessimist, but he’s facing the possibility that his career may be over. Not the way anyone wants to go out, and it must be especially difficult when you’ve done nothing but play hockey for the past 30+ years.

This is my favorite time of year on BSH. In the beginning of the year you have all the newbies, some of whom will stay, some of who will be scared off by Geoff. Come Feb-March a few of the Johnny come-latelies show up and act like they’ve always been here, and then in the playoffs the woodwork clears. Right now we’ve got the best combination of the people who really care about hockey. I love this time of year on BSH.

I hope Crosby comes back soon. No really, he's on two of my fantasy teams (sarcasm font if you’re new here) As a hockey fan we need him in the game. I dont’ think any of the injuries to Crosby, Giroux, Pronger, or JVR are Shanaban offenses though. The hit on Tablot deserved something though.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
Yeah
You’re right about the past stuff not necessarily being punishable offenses. I guess that makes it even more scary, because you can’t really legislate concussions out of the league.
by Matt Shaffer on Jan 14, 2012 7:15 PM EST up reply actions
its even worse when some of them came at the expense of a teammate. Like the recent one for crosby, the one for giroux, and whoever got concussed a night later by his own teammate to.
I don’t really believe that Crosby was concussed by his teammate…Krejci had a (legal) hit on him earlier in the game where his head banged the glass…I think that was the one that did it, but the Pens (respectably) didn’t want to call out a player on another team about a legal hit.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
This is what is so frustrating from a fan perspective….when even casual hits lead to compounded symptoms. Granted, his head hit the glass, but it wasn’t bad by most standards.
Eh, we’ll see what happens. I’m expecting the AFC playoff game tonight to be a runaway early, so I’ll be watching you guys on CSN (in Paoli). Good luck
by Matt Shaffer on Jan 14, 2012 7:21 PM EST up reply actions
This, and I also don’t think the “bring back the red line” talk will help. A lot of the hits that are causing these are lack of respect, plain and simple.

Oddly, the most important piece of equipment seems to be a proper mouthguard.
I guess it’s not that odd…my dad’s a dentist and could give you a rundown of why, but when the lower jaw hits the upper teeth the vibrations that go through the skull are frighteningly powerful. A good mouthguard dampens the hit something like 95%

Like a visor it’s a player’s call, only there’s much less pressure on the player about the mouthguard than the visor because teeth can be replaced (I would know)

Yeah – we played Sinister Minister as a mallet percussion + bass guitar arrangement in high school, and learning that slap and pop technique was what took the longest. We had a decent bass player, but she had trouble at first reliably performing that technique

hmmm. that was more like the anit-solo of solos. kinda like this. The guitarists you mentioned are certainly excellent choices, but so is Wes Montgomery, Eddy Lang or Sonny Sharrock. Though I think it’s is cetainly possible to have an utterly simple solo as being the best solo evar if such a thing exists. . Profound things can often be simple.

I’d say not even close to every goal on Bryz is followed by that. He takes plenty of blame for the bad goals that he gives up, and there have been too many of those. But they definitely didn’t help him out in that period at all

This.
It’s sort of a small-sample-size thing. Bob has only played 17 games. There’s not as many possibilities to call a goal against and a lack of help from the team.

Bob is adorable…but seriously if they have a personal beef with Bryz they have to leave it at the door and off the ice. It may be the “Bryz has the experience versus Bob’s only in his second year” but I would hope play is not determined by who is in goal for this team.
Anyone with the stats care to address this?

The game notes are on the Flyers website during every game, and they contain pronunciation information for pretty much every player….

Anyone know the tv ratings of lets say this game vs the Sixers ratings? I know we fill the arena with close to 20k every game and the Sixers get maybe half that at theirs. Why do they relegate the Flyers to this suck channel with shit sound and put the Sixers on the better channel?

Speaking for myself (though I'm sure some fans are in my corner)
I don’t hate the Sixers, not for a moment. As far as the NBA goes, go Sixers.
I love college basketball, but I hate the NBA. It’s stupid. The games not only seem to be rigged by the league office, but then a ref is proven to be on the mob payroll. Since 1978 only one team outside of a top 8 revenue market has won a title. If you don’t have a star, don’t bother. Defense is illegal. A bunch of people talking shit about scoring when defense is illegal anyway.
I can’t watch that crap.
Broad Street Hockey's Reigning Trivia Champion
First of all, stop listening to WIP.
Secondly, it is in the contracts. When one team is home and one is on the road, they relegate the road team to TCN. When both are on the road, I guess they alternate. And next month, the Sixers are on TCN twice to only once for the Flyers.

He got lucky in 05-06 riding Cam Ward , who was awesome, then got fired. Anybody see a pattern here? The Flyers lack intensity. They lack the pack attitude. They play lazy. I have been watching the Flyers since 1970. This team is playing slightly out of step and slow. Time for a change of philosophy.
