If I actually played any EA games, I’d probably be upset

Was it because of a player? Family?

Sorta both. My parents aren’t even hockey people, they never played, they don’t skate, but for whatever reason they have always loved the Flyers. Combine that with Lindros being the effing man for about 6 years in the 90s, caused me to become a Flyers fan since then.

Honestly sometimes I wonder why I even like my team lol. They haven’t been good for about 14 years and we are in for at least another few tough years before Briere can clean out the Chuck Fletcher stink from Philly.

I am far from Philly and have not been there in a long, long time, so I can’t give you firsthand info what conditions are like. But the Flyers are also years removed from being a packed house sellout crowd. Also, one of the last home games before Chuck Fletcher got fired last year, the WFC was full of Rangers fans. They turned it into their barn for that game and beat us lol. You might go there and meet more Rangers fans than Flyers fans.

Yes, it would be great if some production committee took a swing on making a traditional sports shounen. As long as it isn’t some bottom budget afterthought it could be legitimately good.

As for my team, I’m a Flyers fan. How about yourself?

I remember this play and the entire series very well. It was the most exciting playoff series in the last decade+. However, it was Crosby knocking away Voracek’s glove.

Can someone sell me on the appeal of this anime?

No part of that guy’s comment is valid. He’s not even the barest bit subtle about how badly he is distorting the facts.

Nobody is talking about any of these things: a gun that 1 tapped every enemy, infinite ammo, auto aiming, wanting every gun to become a 1 tap super weapon. It’s not even part of the discussion. All of these are imaginary things this person made up. Somehow people are just looking at it and nodding instead of calling out the bullshit.
