I keep seeing you say Flyers fans are 'running' from this thread.

Pretty much every Flyer fan has posted in this thread, and every Flyer fan so far has stated Rinaldo lost to Thornton. What more are you expecting someone to say about it? You want us to stick around and act like hockey_doc and start counter-trolling so you can justify to yourself why every thread you post in eventually goes to sh*t?

Srehm (one of the Bruins fans who actually has credibility on here) makes an observation about Thornton's willingness to fight a MW like Rinaldo at the drop of the hat but seemed not so willing to make a statement to Orr and you can't refute it or look at it objectively so you try to drag Flyers fans back so you can whine about them later after this gets locked.

"Who me? I just responded to the Flyers fans I'm constantly trying to bait into a flame war. can't blame me, I'm the victim here!" You are so transparent.

This incident was in the middle of the 2nd period with the Bruins up by 3. I know nobody wants to hear it, and I don't like it either...but the game dictates whether or not retribution will be doled out.

Orr was invisible until half way through the 3rd, he was trying to get the Bruins to retaliate. With Thornton getting scratched a few games ago, I'm sure he's trying not to take any penalties. I honestly didn't think Orr did anything that egregious to warrant a response, it's not like Thornton was going to take a 3rd man in when McQuaid and Orr got tied up.

That's my assessment of what happened anyways.

Certain Flyer fans in the Buffalo thread appear much more engaged in the conversation since Simmonds won the fight. I mean after all the flaming back and fourth between Bruins and Flyers fans leading up to this game, It certainly seemed like many Flyer fans said their piece then got out of dodge pretty quick.

After making fun of the Bruins fight totals for weeks, it seems that certain Flyer fans either didn't want to show up or kept it brief....seems transparent to me.

Plus tflyer is constantly being a pest towards Bruins fans.

I try to call it the way i see it, even if it is somewhat unfavorable to the team I root for. Seeing Orr push the bruins around in our own building upset me considering we do have one of the best policemen in the game on our team. Hopefully, Thorts holds him accountable the next time they play.

Fair enough. I completely disagree but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

I don't really recall the Orr incident of running around to be similar to Rinaldo. I did not see Saturday's game, but in the Boston/Toronto game, Orr tried to spark his team with about 10-12 minutes to play, delivers a decent check to Seidenburg, totally crushes Campbell into the boards. After Orr served the two, I don't recall seeing him much for the rest of the game. Especially the last two minutes when Toronto pulled the goaltender. Prior to that, neither Orr or Thornton showed much interest in going, where the pace of the game, and the score dictated that. I'm pretty positive Thornton would issue a challenge if he felt Orr was taking liberties.

simmonds is probably the best fighter on the team, but he would still lose to erskine. i heard erskine in an interview say he actually called simmonds on the phone to apologize and explain it was an accident. im sure its water under the bridge for these two, but its still a good talking point for message board nerds.

Good beat down on the punk Rinaldo. Funny how he throws so hard and with such intent when he fights nobodys, but against someone like Thorton he gets throttled and beat down like a good little boy.

Was this directed at yourself? If so, it's post of the year material.

Sorry to quote you in between these two knuckleheads. I think you got it spot on. It was Simmonds' fight if he wanted it. He's our best fighter and and he was the one who got elbowed. I think he either accepted Erskine's apology and moved on or thought of it as a case of "what's the point, Erskine knows I'm a tough player so fighting him and probably losing to him isn't really going to send a message." It would definitely be nice if someone else would have stepped up for him but the current Flyers have a crop of willing middleweights but no one bigger. I obviously don't like it but it is what it is.

P.s. You're a few weeks behind on the Dead Jams of the Week. Keep em coming buddy.

Simmonds would f*ck McQuaid up more often than not and he'd give Thornton a run for his money though Thornton would take a series. The other two are just too big for him.

What was he holding Rinaldo accountable for then if hitting isn't banned yet?

I don't think, nor did I ever say that Thornton ducked Orr, but if Thornton was wearing a Flyers jersey and he fought a middleweight over clean checks and not a heavyweight who was doing the same thing, you'd be all over him and you know it, I know it, we all know it. You're so f*cking boring.

Yeah he looked like such a little b*tch there, tossing his gloves right away like that and going straight at him throwing punches. What a p*ssy he is. You would've just gone all Probert on Thornton and pummeled him through the ice, right?

Where do you people come from?
