What does that have to do with you saying Detroit didn't have an enforcer. Something you got totally wrong. Darren McCarty over 150 fights for Detroit played right through the 90's for the redwings. Or Joey Kocer or Bob Probert or Stu Grimson or Keith Primeau. I had forgotten about McCarty!! I watched a lot of NHL in that period (90's and 00's) and I definitely would not have classed them as one of the "fighting" teams Early to mid 90's they where in the top ten for fights each season, 98-99 and into the 2000's they were amongst the lowest in the league. they stayed that way through the oo's pretty much. But in the 90's they had some of the toughest guys play for them.

They don't play in our league so your point is? Did you see the hit in Reddick, not exactly scared to hit are they. My point was that you don't have to be a team of fighters to be a good team!! Look at the Red Wings teams in the 90's and naughties... not renowned for fighting or having an enforcer in their line up... but great teams whilst winning championships... I guess that's the difference... no championships or conference titles for Flyers... maybe this year... keep the faith!! 5-0 Davos now 🙈 Can you show me where exactly anyone has ever said we want a team of fighters? Good luck finding a quote

I think we have to calm down. I accept we have the most inept coach in the league, that doesn't allow us to talk down players we haven't seen in action. that's the final criteria, see them in action.
If they are good it doesn't alter the fact that we have the most inept coach in the league.

Holy moly that's a cracking signing, just shows what patience can bring. Anyone else still think we have a chance in the conference?

Will let you know at the end of October otherwise it's just speculation whether you are a "mooaner' or 'happy clapper' The guys CV obviously looks decent and must check back as think I've seen him play.

Not to forget they have a few willing to chuck knuckles. Hate to admit it but it's basically the team/style I was hoping we would build.
