My wife and I have done with at least 3 series this year

My dad would take me to Hershey Bears games in the 80s where Ron Hextall, Craig Berube et al would rule the roost so, yeah

All of this reminds me of this: the weird Married With Children episode where Al is visited by aliens because his stinky socks are a source of fuel

Me who grew up on the 80s AHL: man, what a timid game

Oldman but only with outside interference as Patrick Stewart his Daniel in the head with a chair while the referee's back is turned

Man same. I dont know what you do with him. But he deserves blame for bad decisions but also praise for getting this team to where it is

This is where I'm at this morning. A few tweaks and a new voice or two and go for it before baseball shuts down in 2027

Oh for sure. You can probably add Claude Lemieux or Scott Stevens to that list too. But Chelios....I do recall there was trade chatter about Clarke trying to get him from Chicago in 98 or 99

Paul Gagliardi @pgagliardi.bsky.social · 2d

Ooo. Good one.

Doug Crossman letting Dale Hunter blow by him in 88 also pretty niche and traumatized me

93. The incompetence of the Eagles and Andy Reid in big games. Flyers blowing the 3-1 series lead to the Devils. The Sixers stepping up to draft anyone since 2000

I'm struggling to think of another moment in Philly sports history that's this specifically brutal

That might be the single most bone-headed play in franchise history

Just take my keys

Paul Gagliardi @pgagliardi.bsky.social · 2d

Well, time to take a big sip of water and check the Eagles score...

Paul Gagliardi @pgagliardi.bsky.social · 2d

Just pour me some shots of Malort

Kerkle's Botch might be a bit more Philly cause of Frank from Always Sunny

Or Kerkle's Groaner?

Paul Gagliardi @pgagliardi.bsky.social · 2d

All three of my kids would have thrown that more accurately.

Thats a compliment to no one really

I taught it last year in a cult cinema class and my students just thought it quaint and hopeful. One student was like "the aliens won in our timeline."
