We re going for 10 in a row on friday in Calgary, that would be a new franchise record.
We currently have the hottest goalie and rookies really standing out now.

Haha, what a comeback last night! 3-1 down with 6 to play, 4-3 up with 3 to play! RJ Umberger is king! These games could turn our season around. That first period in Anaheim has completely transformed us. Still, we're relying a little too much on 5 people (Umberger, Gagne, Foppa, Sanderson and Robitaille) but it's getting better as i said. Apologies Shin?

Apologies Shin? Why do I need to apologise? The Flyers won two games on the spin and all of a sudden you're blabbering on about how I was wrong and now you're team aren't as bad as even YOU were making out. You really make me laugh regarding the Flyers: in the summer you were comparing them to the Buffalo Sabres, then this season you're slaughtering them and now your team's results have picked up, you've become positive fan once more. Positive. Negative. Positive. Negative. Positive. Negative... Oh, and can someone tell me how this works? Toronto: 1 goal on 40 shots. Anaheim: 7 goals on 16 shots!!! As I've previously stated, Raycroft stood on his head and stole that game for the Leafs. You however wouldn't give him credit for it and prefered to slag off your team, claiming they couldn't shoot properly.

Why do I need to apologise? The Flyers won two games on the spin and all of a sudden you're blabbering on about how I was wrong and now you're team aren't as bad as even YOU were making out. I said it was getting better and you made an example of it, rubbishing my opinion on it. These recent results (albeit not last nights) prove that it is, it may be moving rather slowly but it is getting there. That's why you ought to be man enough to admit your mistake. You really make me laugh regarding the Flyers: Yes, and i'm the one who's after an argument eh? in the summer you were comparing them to the Buffalo Sabres, then this season you're slaughtering them and now your team's results have picked up, you've become positive fan once more. I wasn't the only one loosely-comparing us to the Sabres. We'd signed some small fast wingers, similar to the way the Sabres had in the previous summer. I don't see a problem with that. As for your final point, isn't it amazing that i'm slightly more positive when we're winning games? Incredible really, who could predict that? I'd rather go from positive to negative than overly-defensive to unbearably smug however. Positive. Negative. Positive. Negative. Positive. Negative... Is there a 'yawn' smilie somewhere? As I've previously stated, Raycroft stood on his head and stole that game for the Leafs. You however wouldn't give him credit for it and prefered to slag off your team, claiming they couldn't shoot properly. I gave him some credit actually, but not all of it. We'd done precisely the same on a few occasions that month. I could save shots fired straight at me. He made some fine saves indeed but a half-decent front line would have put many more than 1 behind him.

I'll put the mockers on Toronto then. The leafs look like they could have a good crack at the cup this year. Certainly I would think a minimum of a conference Semi appearance is well within their compass. Shut up! We don't want it jinxing <still think making the post season will be an uphill struggle>

Daniel, I didn't rubbish your opinion, sorry if you thought that. I replied and gave several examples as to why I disagreed with your comment, ie Foppa crocked etc etc. There's a difference between construtive debate and argueing, which while you & I have do often, we aren't doing at the mo. Regarding my comments about your tendancy to go from one extreme to the other, it's nothing personal chap but I've gone back and looked at this thread and it's true. I'm over defensive of the Leafs? Yeah I'd go with that and I'll openly admit that I defend them with " terminal intensity" but it's no different than you regarding Forest. You're extremely strong in your views regarding Forest as am I with the Leafs. But I disagree with your comment reference me being smug? I don't quite see where you've got that from. It would have been easy for me to have taken the pi$$ regarding the Flyers so far this season, especially given the encouraging start the Leafs have had, so I don't know what to say on this matter other than I disagree with you and criticism of you team has 1) been constructive and 2) been deserved. As for being wrong regarding the Flyers recent play, if you're team is struggling and you lose in OT against a very good team (Buffalo) and then win two straight, I guess you would say things are improving but my belief that all is not well in Flyerville wont change until your team starts climbing the standings. The good work done against the Sabres, Ducks & Kings goes out the window with the 6-1 reverse handed to you by San Jose. I've openly stated that you've got the talent on the roster to 1) do better and 2) get better. *edited for typos*

I watched a re-run of the Ducks - Flyers game on NASN and the most damning condemnation of the Flyers was a quote attributed to coach Stevens. He was asked what was needed for the Flyers to start winning games and his reply was that he couldn't think about winning games until he got 60 minute effort out of all his players in the same game.
When figureheads within an organisation talk like that then there are serious problems.

Fair enough, it did come across as you were completely dismissing it but that's under the bridge. Regarding my comments about your tendancy to go from one extreme to the other, it's nothing personal chap but I've gone back and looked at this thread and it's true. I'm over defensive of the Leafs? Yeah I'd go with that and I'll openly admit that I defend them with " terminal intensity" but it's no different than you regarding Forest. You're extremely strong in your views regarding Forest as am I with the Leafs. Given the season we're experiencing, it's hard not to go from one extreme to the other. I still think we're going to finish the season in the bottom five, which makes a regulation win in Anaheim even more special, hence the reaction. But I disagree with your comment reference me being smug? I don't quite see where you've got that from. It would have been easy for me to have taken the pi$$ regarding the Flyers so far this season, especially given the encouraging start the Leafs have had, so I don't know what to say on this matter other than I disagree with you and criticism of you team has 1) been constructive and 2) been deserved. Let's just leave it at that, ok? I think we'll both agree the Cage doesn't need another silly argument between two big egos!! As for being wrong regarding the Flyers recent play, if you're team is struggling and you lose in OT against a very good team (Buffalo) and then win two straight, I guess you would say things are improving but my belief that all is not well in Flyerville wont change until your team starts climbing the standings. The good work done against the Sabres, Ducks & Kings goes out the window with the 6-1 reverse handed to you by San Jose. I've openly stated that you've got the talent on the roster to 1) do better and 2) get better. It is slowly improving though, it's the little things. We've gone from constant thrashings to giving good teams a good game. The reversal from 9-1 against Buffalo to only losing in OT is a good improvement. We're ending games with more shots than we were, we're winning the odd game in 5 nowadays but it aint enough. I disagree regarding the comment that we can get better. We have a very poor side with very poor prospects (ranked bottom of the NHL recently for futures) and unless Holmgren can pull out some killer trades, this summer could have killed us for a fair while.

Bloody hell! 2-0 down already! You were 3-0 after the 1st but did make a game of it, but eventually lost 5-3. Oh and and the Flyers have signed John Stevens to an extension as coach...

2 years, makes sense. He's worked with most of the team with the Phantoms and seems to have the respect of the players. My main worry is that despite giving him to the end of the season as GM, does Holmgren have the power to make a real major trade?

And his first game? In Philadelphia tomorrow night!
As for last nights game, i was listening in and it sounded like we were creaming them. They hold out and go up the other end to win it, like every damn game it seems. We need more consistent netminding.

I have to say then end of the Atlanta-Capitals game was highly entertaining, loadsa fights in the last 2 minutes, sending Brash out to start a fight right after the puck was dropped, was classic ;D

Eyes, do you say anything of note?
We're 3-1 up at the end of the second at the Habs. Would be an excellent result if we hold out. Gags has just stuck away and excellent PP goal over Aebischer. If someone wants links to watch about 80% of the Flyers games over the net then PM me.

Excellent stuff, won 4-2 with a very good defensive performance for once. More encouragingly, Hatcher seems to be playing a little bit better now. Leafs lose 3-1 at Boston after threatening a comeback in the last few minutes.
Ah well, Cook's out now. I'm off to bed.
