Official Pens vs Flyers thread

Thank you Alfred,a TRUE Philly fan,nice too see you know your teams.

The Flyers beat the Sabres in 75,for the "Cup"

I know they lost the "cup" in 76 to the Habs in four straight. (Not to shabby at all...)

Well done Alfred for the numbers,but I think I was right for Axeman he would have been very young for the last Championship team in The City of Brotherly Love.

Eagles -- No Super Bowl titles, last title was in '60, about seven, eight years before they started calling it the Super Bowl

Flyers -- Won Stanley Cup back to back in '73-74 and '74-75

Sixers -- Last won it in '83

Phillies -- Last won it in '80 (that's their only WS title in 125-plus years of existence, though the Philadelphia Athletics won a bunch before moving to Kansas City)

You are right, though, I had just turned 6 when the Sixers won our last pro title. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to celebrate it, as I didn't start following sports until fall '84 when my dad let me stay up late to watch a Monday Night Football Dolphins-Jets game. I instantly became a Dan Marino fan. (See P-burghers, I don't hate all things from P-burgh. And if that pic is JReeze, I don't hate her, either. Look at her. How could you? And she's a BoSox fan, as am I. Go BoSox!)

Villanova won the NCAA hoops title in '85 in what is widely considered the biggest upset in sports history. Some consider that a Philly title, some don't, since 'Nova technically is outside of city limits. I do. I'm a Temple grad, but 'Nova fan. My sister went there and my dad's been taking me to games there since I was 10 or so.

Axe...laugh everytime I see Richie Kotite!  Hahaha..remember you told me the story behind it.  Very funny though.

I was on the Wings/Stars mini-thread (nothing like this one) earlier and they were talking about Crosby and diving too...they obviously haven't been watching this series. Agree about the Malkin / Hatcher tie up.  Malkin has played great overall though.

Don't understand what JohnStevens is doing...he's getting out coached that's for sure.

JREEZEE

I DID LIVE IN GREENSBURG WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO SWPA AND MADE MY USER NAME. BUT THEN I MOVED TO WEST MIFFLIN, I MISS KENNYWOOD. I MIGHT GO THERE WHEN I VISIT MY MOM IN THE SUMMER

It's gonna take me a few days to be able to admit that. Sorry.

"I was on the Wings/Stars mini-thread (nothing like this one)"

I look forward to a Steelers/Eagles thread in mid-September.

"Don't understand what JohnStevens is doing...he's getting out coached that's for sure."

I can't really rip John Stevens. The guy weathered a 10-game losing streak in January/February and got the team going again. Something to be said for that.

And while I've been accused of using Timmonen's injury as an "excuse," he really would've made a big difference in terms of getting the Flyers through mid-ice and into the Pens' zone. Not saying the Flyers would be up at this point, but I'd go so far as to say the Pens wouldn't be on the cusp of a sweep if he were out there. But, hey, injuries happen. They're part of the game. May our teams meet again in the playoffs next season -- maybe we'll have stolen Hossa by then :)

Axeman go to the profile,really nice photo.I hope that is your wife or girlfriend JR,because you the man...
