Clearly you don't understand sarcasm and just feel like making a decision about me because of a stereotype of Philly fans, I guess I can stoop to your level. Stay trashy, NJ.
As for this thread, I honestly don't care who made it I just thought we all had an understanding to start a tradition within the Ants hockey community to have the fan of the team who sucked the most start the thread.
And since the Flyers are now in golf mode I guess I can talk about the Flyers. I am glad Carcillo will be gone. I know a lot of Philadelphia people will be calling for a new goaltender and they are all wrong. Bobrovsky had a hell of a rookie campaign all things considered and deserves the chance for next year. Its also hard to figure out what else to say they need because of the cap space issue. I really like our defense right now, but they are getting old and they are paid pretty well. I wouldn't mind seeing Coburn moved if we could get something good in return, but I don't know. Still there is a long time til big moves are made.

in all fairness, you cant call new jersey trashy when philly, who i root for in all 4 sports, rocks the wonderful reputation of having over a murder per day....which is the highest average in the country.
that nonsense aside, i am also extremely happy happy carcillo can GTFO, but have to admit the flyers kind of fucked themselves over as far as contracts go.
1) what were they thinking giving jody shelly three years at over 1 million? for how little he contributes, that was a stupid, stupid move that wastes cap space
2) why in gods name hartnell is earning in excess of 4 million per year is beyond me, but if he doesnt start playing the way he did against the hawks last year in the cup finals, he needs to figure out where he wants to go so we can waive his NTC and ship him out. he didnt contribute shit this post-season and the one time he had a chance to stick up for himself and his team against a physically dominating bruins team, chara literally punched him in the mouth and knocked him down until he shut up. it was embarassing to watch.
3) cobourn or carle - i feel like were gonna have to keep one and trade the other. if ths is the case, id much rater get rid of carle and keep cobourn. pronger n timmonen arent getting any younger, odonnell sucks, syvret is meh, and bartulus needs to play more before he can be accurately judged. we need defensive help badly (which, btw, i dont get how you can say youre happy with our defense after boston literally played with us at will).
4) we NEED a goalie. i dont care how poorly our team played at times, because all the other times our team played well, our goalie(s) let in easy/shitty goals that really changed the dynamic of quite a few games. Bob has a lot of potential, but after this year bouche sadly needs to find a new home. the only reason the buffalo sabres got into game 7 - the only reason the flyers didnt take game 2 - the only reason we couldnt win the cup last year - it's simply our goalies letting poor shots that should be stopped trickle in. yes the team around the goalie makes a difference. but again, if the sabres round 1 showing cant explain why a great goalie is game-changing on the playoffs, idk what will.
all in all, next years team is going to be significantly different than this years, and with all the cap were spending on guys like carter, richards, briere, pronger, timmo, (soon enough JVR), etc - were gonna have to make some moves.

He was talking about the thread. And that was a joke towards Ricky, who is everywhere. Ricky is a respected Boston fan and we love busting his balls.
Relax holmes.
And cool it with the NJ shit, JRS. A good percentage of Philly's fanbase is from Jersey.
