Well, he's still young. Unless he's not going to be a Flyer for long, we will score a lot of goals for us. Also, Pronger will be on that list eventually. Seeing he's going to be here for nearly 7 years.
gonna have to dissagree with the carter.............I love this new team, but every now and then you have to put a foot in your "kids" ass to get em motivated.
Yeah, tell me about it. I love discussing Flyers hockey. Also, let me say this. maybe another reason is because MacLeish was big parts of the 2 Stanley Cups. Poulin nearly did it, but the best player in hockey history had to get in the way. Maybe I'll move Poulin down more. But I just feel MacLeish deserves it.
Yes, I had Leach around 16/17. Poulin was a heck of a defensive player and a great captain. Completely agree on that. Tocchet was good, but unfortunately we didn't have him in his prime. I have Tocchet around 19/20. Also, Poulin wasn't exactly with us that long. I think it was like around 4 years. Short-handed goals are an impressive stat, but they are under looked. Poulin was better defensively, but MacLeish was twice as better oppensively. Just my opinion.
You know who I forgot? Reggie Leach. Again, though, not Top 10--more like Top 20 or 25 (he was a poor defensive player, not to mention inconsistent offensively).
MacLeish was indeed underrated, particularly as a penalty killer. It's just that, to me, Poulin was an ELITE defensive player and penalty killer who was also better than average offensively, and Tocchet was a more consistent scorer than MacLeish.
Did you know that Poulin is tied for 6th ALL TIME in shorthanded goals (w/ Kurri).
I understand. But you have to realize, MacLeish is like 6th all-time in points for the Flyers. He had a 100 point season once. No offense to Tocchet or Poulin, or etc. but MacLeish was a very underrated guy. He deserves to be in the top 10. Also, Gagne could be in the top 10, I have him in about th 13ish place. Behind Brind'Amour and Primeau.
The 1987 Stanley Cup Finals is one of the best in my memory

Poulin played for the Flyers from 1983-90. Roughly six full seasons, plus the cup of coffee late in the '82-83 season.
Great discussion, by the way. It's not every day you get to discuss Flyers history in detail on YouTube. ;)
