2012 Flyers Offseason Thread

[Seabiscuit36]

you're a contrarian clown and everyone knows it.

shut up.

Exactly. If the skins pull a move that games the system, the Eagles are idiots for not doing it. If the Pens signed Weber to this offer sheet, Homer would be catching the ire for not doing it first.

IGY, you have to occasionally take a majority opinion to throw off the scent. Although, it's probably too late on this board.

nfl is not the nhl...its not the flyers fault its the piece of shtein leagues fault

and unlike homers i dont give opinions based on what i think is the right thing to do or allow biases to enter in...i mean what i say and i say what i mean...its just sad that it upsets you so much because it doesnt fit into your model of what a "real" fan should be like

You hate southern hockey expansion.  This contract shows why they should be folded, what you have advocated for years.

He does he's just being ignorant to the fact. He wrote the book on Contrarianism. Being stubborn is a side effect.

Very sad indeed.

that is precisely why this makes me queasy....if they did this to the rangers then i wouldnt care....but to put an entire franchise out of business because of some bullshtein just doesnt sit right with me...again i dont expect all you homers to understand this way of thinking because you guys would buy the entire la kings franchise and move them to philly to win a cup and not think twice...but thats not me

No, and honestly I like Nashville as opposed to other teams from the South.  But, in the end I love this move, and no matter what the reason behind your not feeling it, you have to admit having a 26 year old Defenseman who's a legit #1 wrapped up for the foreseeable future is a lot better than spending 100mill on Suter. 

The NHL is farged from top to bottom, but lets not act like only teams who spend money win.  Its all about luck and chemistry.  And I think that Holmgren making this deal is just a giant farg you to the league which i'm a fan of.

Don't feed the hippo.

Apparently Shane Doan is coming to Philly for a visit

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Isn't he Rome's age?

That blow was lower than the ones in the Lasch Building showers.

If igy wrote an article about the Shea Weber signing it would look exactly like this:

[ice grillin you]

1000% true

either get rid of 8-10 teams or make the system fair for everyone....otherwise its a complete mockery and it drives away even die hards like myself

[Rome]

If your team manages to get the best defenseman in the game and that drives you away from the sport, good riddance.

[SD]

I see igy's point, as contrarian as he is. But I can't fault the Flyers for trying to improve their team. Weber apparently visited a bunch of other teams, he just chose the Flyers to sign with.
