I've been lurking on these boards since the playoffs and just joined today, so figured this'd be the best place for my first post!
Name: Lisa
Age: 26
Location: Vaughan, ON (just north of Toronto)
Favorite Team(s): Flyers, Leafs, Team Canada
Most Hated Team(s): Habs & Pens
Favorite Player(s): As a kid, Andreychuk. Today, Knuble/Carter/Upshall <3<3<3
Also, Timonen, Heatley, Nash
Most Hated Player(s): I don't really hate anyone. Though there are tons that annoy the crap out of me. Avery would be at the top of that list.
NHL08 Top Line: I own no game systems. Boo. =(
Team: I played softball when I was younger?
Position: Right field
Flyers fan since: Feb/08.
It is unfortunate, but I was born/forced into(?) Leafs universe . . . they're still in my blood. Flyers have become my #1 though! =)
Hmm, interesting. Your a flyers fan since February of this year and your most hated team is the Habs. Could you be a converted fan of the '08 playoffs simply because you hate the Habs and enjoyed seeing them go down?
Question: Who will you be rooting for if the Flyers play the Leafs in the playoffs since your a fan of both teams?
Answer: Thats a trick question, the leafs never make the playoffs.

Haha. No, it was actually weird. I started watching during the losing streak (which was actually the first hockey game I watched since the 2005 World Juniors). And I dunno, just connected with the team after one game. And I've been hooked ever since.
The Habs series WAS the epitome of awesome though.

ROFL. Yeah . . . . sad thing is, that idea never even entered my brain.

A definite welcome. We should initiate all newcomers to our festivities. What Jason Blake means to Storm. Donald Brashear's now-famous quote to us. Mike York and Peppermint Fatty and/or Twinkie the Kid. A Top Ten, as it were.

I agree. Now where would we find a person who could make such a list? Hmmmmmmmm. There's gotta be someone around here who remembers, and then can precisely recite, every single bit of Flyers history/trivia. I wonder who?

We probably should come up with a list of stuff to explain to new posters like Cannon, Falco and Kambos Jugs.

True enough (but I think the Brashear thing is pretty self-explanatory when it appears - always at the perfect moment!)
After all the definitions that appeared last year (Knubling the powerplay, for example), it should be fun to see what comes this year.
Favorite Team(s): Flyers, Seahawks. I kinda like the LA Kings and Sharks, too.
Most Hated Team(s): Pensdevilsrags. Ottawa and TML down a step from that, Habs are catching up.
Favorite Player(s): Richards, from the second we drafted him. Coburn (used to watch him in Portland), Leclair, Desjardins, Tocchet, JR, 88, Shanny, Deadmarsh, Carcillo, Vinny L., really like Biron now.
Most Hated Player(s): Chris Neil, Darcy, Crosby, Havlat, Begin, Kasparaitis,
NHL08 Top Line: Don't have a console, don't like my PC for sports games..
I can barely skate.
