<quoted text>That is true that richards is not the only player that makes dirty hits like that... There is about four or more flys that would do the same dirty play...All on one team,,,, They are living in the past......the seventies are over thugflys......you cant win that way anymore... Didnt the habs show you that in the seventies ??

You sound just like every other flyers hater...saying that they're playing like the Broad Street Bullies, trying to beat the other team up. But unlike you, they actually admit that the Flyers are a talented team and have stars on their team and are balanced on offense and defense. Here are some stats for you:
*Flyers are ranked 1st in the NHL in Goals For (in 4 less games than the vaunted Penguins)
* Their Powerplay is ranked 1st in the NHL (the Pens 22nd overall).
* Their Penalty kill is 5th in the NHL (4 spots ahead of Pitt)
* Mike Richards, your 'junior b player' is only 3 points behind the talented Marian Gaborik in points. Oh and guess what, he's one point behind Crosby in points, even though he's only played in 12 games, compared to Crosby's 16. Richards is also only one goal behind Crosby.
*James vanRiemsdyk, the Flyers rookie, leads all rookies in points (2g-11a).
*Matt Carle, defenseman, is 2nd overall in +/- with a +11.
The above stats prove that the Flyers are a very good team. Want my source? nhl.com
Oh your whole theory about Richards scoring empty net goals and goals when the other team is out of the game, is false, cause i checked his stats and all of his goals this season have come from when a team was still in the game. He hasn't scored one empty netter this year. You only think Richards is a junior b player because of what you thought to be a dirty hit and from his past couple years, where you felt he's gotten away with dirty hits. The stats speak for themselves. Give me a reason to believe your view on Richards. Show me a source that can back it up. Post the link to a credible website that supports your claims. Cause as of now, it seems that you're only saying that Richards is junior b, because you hate him for his hits and because he plays for the Flyers. Would you like him if he played for the Penguins? The Leafs? How about the Wings?

<quoted text>Blah blah blah...Typical flyboy response,or should I say denial of what is reality..The flys are trying to relive their seventies success by playing the same style that won them two cups,but what they forget is that speed and defense not to mention goaltending is what set them on their sorry little asses in the seventies,by the montreal canadians.. Their little bully tactics,illegal hits etc will not bring back the glory days...As soon as they realize this and stop this dirty game they are shooting for,the sooner they will be on the right track..Junior b ,dirty little players are not the road to success......get with the program wang !

Whatever, man. You probably didn't even read my post. I'm not in denial. I backed everything I said, with facts and gave you my source. You're the only person who actually feels this way about the Flyers. They're not trying to relive the past. They've adapted over time to speed, defense, and balanced scoring. No matter what you say, I'm not buying it, cause you're not backing it up with any facts or sources. I think you're the one who needs to get with the program...actually, you should probably get your head examined cause there isn't a sane person on this thread or on any site that would agree with your assessment of the Flyers.

<quoted text>Stop reading your own press clippings wang... Many agree with me and many disagree.... You seem to get quite offended when others take a different stance on various topics.... Are you a control freak, or something... Do your wife and kids have to agree with everything you say ,or else ?? Now suck it up princess and take a pill... It was a dirty hit by a dirty little junior b player playing on a sick little bully team..... enough said,by for now wang !

You're the one getting angry and offended. I'm not the control freak. I've just never talked to anyone so close-minded as you. And judging by your response and the lack of validity in your comment, it makes sense that you would resort to telling me to take a pill. You never back up your reasoning. You only have your opinion and don't grant people the right to know why.

<quoted text>well you sure didnt come back with any substance in that little temper tantrum...... Try to cool down wang,then come back with some substance instead of all this denial crap.... You should take an anger management course,for your sake as well as your family..... think of them and the abuse you have been subjecting them to......WOW.....

I didn't come back with any substance? pfft..yea whatever. And what makes you think I had a tantrum? I'm not using exclamation points or capitals. I'm just having a calm, civil conversation with you. I don't know where you're getting this belief that i somehow have anger management problems. You don't even know me, so there's no way you can make a statement saying I should take a class. All I see in this back-and-forth is that you refuse to give in and say that I have a point with my assessment of the Flyers and you don't. You started by doing that 'blah blah blah' thing, completely ignoring the fact that I could back up my points with facts. That's when you started getting off topic by making up things about me, etc. Are my arguments to strong for you, that when you're proven wrong, you can't take it and have to resort to child-like behavior? hahaha

<quoted text>Your assessment is flawed by your orange glasses,and that is your problem wang........You can t be objective because you have this simple idea in your head that the flys cannot do any wrong.. You defend this team without objectivly looking at the facts. Then when someone disagrees with your false assessment you get upset and have a wang tempertantrum.... It is hard to talk hockey with you because you only accept your own reasoning... which is of course orange and flawed...Now your accusing me of name calling,while you are calling me names.......Isnt that the perfect example of a hypocrite ???? Just asking,not accusing...Dont want you to lose your temper again.....

haha again, I'm not losing my temper...i think you want me to, i can see that. You want me to get angry, but it's just not gonna happen. All I'm doing is responding to you. I never called you names. I said in one post that I thought you should get your head checked because I thought your views on the Flyers were seriously misguided, and then you took exception to that and accused me of having an anger problem and being a control freak or something...you thought that i hated hearing other peoples' opinions. That's not the case. If you were civil with me from the start and supported your claims, I wouldn't be the jerk you think I am. I defend my team without objectively looking at the facts? Are you kidding me? I backed up everything I said with facts ( nhl.com ). Check that site out...although, it's subject to change with the Flyers already playing earlier and the Pens playing right now. It's hard for you talk hockey with me because I only accept my own reasoning? Hah! Look in the mirror...you just described yourself. Dev, seriously, I've been trying to have an objective debate with you about hockey since summer of 2007 (when you were here) and you completely opposed me just for the sake of it. I'm still being nice to you and was trying to be nice before, cause I really wanted to have a good hockey conversation with you...but you refuse to do that and become violent towards me and other fans.
Look, I love hockey. I've been watching it my whole life, and I'm willing to talk about anything related to it (not just the Flyers). I'll talk about any other team, even your Leafs, and give my input. If you don't agree with me, fine, but at least be reasonable and explain why....back your views up with a source, with facts. That's all it takes.

<quoted text>Ha ha,, Now you are getting parinoid...Thats quite a plot you have developed there wang,thinking I am trying to get you upset.. Im just disagreeing with your assessment of the hit,and you seem to be getting angrier and angeir everytime I disagree. Now with the parinoia,Im wondering if some serious councelling is needed by yourself.......Im just suggesting this because you are showing signs of losing control of your normal thinking patterns. Check it out wang,you do need help...

Actually, I'm not getting paranoid. But it's easy to see that you're trying to get me angry...anyone else can see it. I'm not mad at all. I'm not angriere every time you disagree with me. I don't need to see anyone. I just want you to back up your thoughts with a source. But you don't seem to want to do that You're just making this stuff up about me having problems because you have no objective, valid response to my view on the Flyers. I honestly don't know where you're getting this idea that I'm losing control of my normal thinking patterns. Am i using any expletives or exclamation points? Nope. I've been calm since my first response to this thread.
This conversation is going nowhere, so I'm not going to argue this topic on Richards' hit, because we haven't been talking about it since you decided to get off topic and make up this idea that i have anger issues, etc..
