why is Roenick there?— dpcoz
Awesome roster. A bit of a surprise in goal, expected Roussel, I believe he has done alumni events for them in recent history. Rangers one looks good too, but Gretzky should have played, that family commitment thing sounds bogus, how about give back to the fans a bit.— Sidewinder7- Gretzky " how about give back to the fans a bit."
Are you insane? Hasnt he given quite a bit to the fans already? The greatest player in the history of the sport?
WOW! Just wow! Shame on you!
— Crayonic - @dpcoz because there is a camera there. Also, even though it was only 4 years, Roenick loved it here and was a great Flyer.— Sidewinder7
- rangers have edge in goalies.— mikemaddog
- Ya, Blackburn is only 28.— Sidewinder7
- Lindros better watch out for Kasparaitis. That guy was a headhunter.— BlairW
- Damn, no Pat Falloon.— Tim Jackelpappy
- I will file this under "w"...for "who gives a s*it". And I am a lifetime Flyers fan.— kelprod2
- What happened to mikael renberg? I was pretty excited to see the legion of doom— Kraymehr
- @Kraymehr - Renberg is a colorman for some league back in Sweden apparently and supposedly he can't get leave to come over and play.— Sidewinder7
- @kelprod2 you are in the minority, alot of people are excited for this game.— Sidewinder7
- All I want to see is the "Guffaw!"— girouxforpresident
- Nice roster...carkner was the man....never forget that marathon fight against probert....classic.— philly thug
- Jim Dowd? Bet the fans will be lining up to see him. I agree with the above posts that the Flyers goaltenders don't represent much.— fentonhardy
