close but not true:) actually i'm a fan since the worst year in franchise history 06/07 where gagne scored 40+ goals and hartsy and kimmo jumped on board. But the real reason is my all time favorite player simon gagne. I bought a bauer hockey stick and the pattern was P 106 gagne. So i watched the online nhl highlights as much as possible to see what kind of player he was. So thats about it pretty much i really enjoyed watching him as a player and also the team more and more. I really like their style of play, their attitude and also i really like their history. The worst day since i'm a fan was when homer traded gagne to tampa. Man that was tough but after a while i could see why he did so i guess. With his injury situation especially his concussion problems in combination with his salary back than i could see homer doing his business but still would love to see him back. So for now i really enjoyed the season exept the end and i really look forward where this team is going with all the youth the good core and everything. Maybe bryz takes it easy in his second year and we will finally go all the way. I also really like cootsy and his potential. He can become a really star on this team. So thats my flyers story hope you enjoyed the read
