Look at the names of those players. It's insane. Sharp, Richards, Carter, Pitkanen, Jones, all great players now. Imagine if the Flyers held on to them all.
anybody realize this was the reason the blackhawks won the recent flyers cup? we kicked the shit out of the wolves and that got them madd. patrick sharp also lifted both cups!
@crazedmetfan12 I hear ya, but they're tearing down the Spectrum, so they needed to place them elsewhere and that elsewhere for now anyways, is in Glens Falls, New York...in another two years or so, they'll return permanently to the Philadelphia region with their new 10K seat arena in Allentown...can't wait to see my Phantoms back, I really can't!
i've never seen such a huge commotion over a calder cup championship. but i guess thats what a season without the NHL will do to a city that loves its hockey. GO FLYERS/PHANTOMS
@cowboyzsuk81 In another two years, the Phantoms will come back to the Philadelphia region permanently as soon as their new home is completed for them in Allentown...that Calder Cup Finals Game 4 was the LAST game I got to see in person before my accident and haven't seen one in person since...it's gonna be unbelievably awesome to see the Phantoms BACK in the Philadelphia region again!
I'm BEYOND pumped, I really am and CANNOT WAIT! :-)
@cowboyzsuk81 Yes, it surely will be, I really can't wait! You won't need to wonder about fan support because that place will be sold out EVERY game! I'm getting season tickets down on the glass in the offensive end too! :-)
I do too, Flyer Guy, but I AM proud to see him doing well with the Blackhawks too! As they say, one a Flyer/Phantom, ALWAYS a Flyer/Phantom!
And to think by the 2012/13 season, the purple and white will return, only to Allentown as well, but support will definitely NOT be a problem with the fanbase that exists already! :-)
@MrFlyerGuy You can thank Ken Hitchcock for the cup loss in 2010!!! Patrick Sharp was a +7 in the series & deserved the Conn Smyth? Hitch didn't have the patience to wait for Sharp to develope his defensive game!
It really WAS, I mean, I LOVE the Flyers, but I'd been an AHL fan for a few years too, but NEVER did I expect the Wach to be sold out for a PHANTOMS game, but it was! The NHL was locked out at the time and you know what? I really didn't miss them!
Thanks, Buttman, you allowed my Phantoms to win our 2nd Calder Cup on Flyer home ice! WHEREVER you guys go, I'll follow! FOREVER A PHANTOM FAN!!!
I almost forgot, a friend of mine who lives in the Chicagoland area, was nice enough to burn DVDs of EACH game, broadcast by Comcast Cable in Chicago and EACH of those games were exciting for sure!
Mad props to Atlanta Thrashers/Chicago Wolves' fans too, you guys are THE class of the AHL, I wish you ALL the best in the NHL AND AHL too!
I'm gonna watch ALL the games today, I need those pleasant memories again! LOL
I can't believe I forgot current Flyer coach John Stevens, Riley Cote, Eric Meloche, Ben Stafford , Antero Nittymaki and ANYONE I forgot, I'm sorry! Ben, a special thanks for serving over in Iraq too, buddy! Get home safe and sound!! And to John Sim, thank YOU for everything YOU did in the 2005 Calder Cup Playoffs! We'll NEVER forget you, "Simmer"...hehehe
Yes, it certainly was! And SO many of those Phantoms are now Flyers like Randy Jones, captain Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, it was just amazing!
My best friend who always took me to Flyer games, I took her to Game 4 and the Center was SRO, for a PHANTOMS game! Something she'll never forget either! Thanks for including the goal announcements too! GO FLYERS!!! GO PHANTOMS!!! CYA ALL IN ALLENTOWN IN TIME, BOYS!!!
