Ah well...at least we get another fighter in team to take the total up to two.

Abdelkader isn't really a fighter, where was the first?

Why? They have been the best team in hockey since over half this board has been born.

For some reason us Wings fans think if a guy has over 5 fights in his career he is a fighter.

i agree with what you are saying. if the flyers ever played like detroit i would hate it. i would also find another team to cheer for that actually plays the style of hockey i like to watch. just cause i live in philly doesnt mean i have to support the flyers. im glad they play the style of hockey we all love to watch. if they played like detroit i would have to find a new team to support
