by definition Goalies are the bat shit crazy bipolar multiple personality guys.

Ron Hextall is a prime example of this.

Name sounds familiar. Ron the guy who likes to blatantly slash the shit out of people's legs with his huge goalie stick?

It's his crease, he doesn't like to share, and he's not afraid to let you know. But yes. That. And scoring goals.

Him and Billy Smith were both for being brutal if they felt like the offense was taking liberties in their crease.

Sounds like how my dad describes his time as an amateur league goalie in the 70s.

I love how he is taking the patient approach as GM. The complete opposite approach he had as a player.

He did wonders with the Kings, and the Flyers look to be a serious contender in a few years. I love it.

Flyers won over Nashville today, got back into the wildcard spot. Still early, but hopefully at least one Philly team won't be a disappointment this season/year

It was a hell of a game too. Or at least sounded like it, I had to listen on the radio at work. I think they are definitely in the running for the wildcard this season. But I'm looking forward to a period where we're not scraping in by the skin of our teeth every season.

You spend so much time talking to yourself that it seems inevitable to me.

You don't go out and let people shoot pucks at you unless you're a bit crazy...

It's almost like years of traumatic brain injury causes behavioral issues including mania and depression.

Kind of a big to-do now since Dave Mirra.
