Philadelphia Flyers Fodder

Yeah, in having a similar discussion on the Flyers' Forum I made those up and saved them. All of these folks talking about who they're getting on their Sweater, waiting for someone to sign a deal that keeps them on the team for a while. Most of mine have my name, even those from other teams that I purchased because I liked the design.

One thing is certain, I'm not getting traded ...

LOL!! Same here.. Only jersey with my own name are my personal jerseys.. I did have an alumni jersey with Rick Macleish's name on it.. But that is now property of my mom... Same with my Brind'Amour jersey..

My one great aunt knows the MacLeish's pretty well... Used to live a couple doors down from them.. Nice guy.. HOT daughters....At least they used to be..

Hey, I'm all for Sweaters with retired players on them.

*Retired, and not working for an opponent

Same here... I still to this day, want myself a Hextall jersey...

F' Brodeur.. Hextall is the greatest goalie, ever.. Well, maybe next to Lindbergh and Parent....

Of course I am biased..

Hextall is an Assistant GM for the Kings, that's Blasphemy ...

Kidding of course, and one of my "At the game" pals has a Hexy Sweater from the All Star Game, he didn't play but he was on the team.

I thought I saw him at one of the drafts working for the Flyers.. I'm not sure how long ago this was, but I thought it was within the last year or two... I'm trying to remember who it was they were working on at the time, but I know I saw him working it..

From Wiki:

Post-retirement

In June 2006, the Los Angeles Kings named Ron Hextall as Assistant General Manager. In addition, Hextall will serve as the General Manager of the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, the Kings’ primary affiliate.

On February 6, 2008, Hextall became the 19th member inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame in a ceremony during the first intermission.

Ron's son, center Brett Hextall was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. With that selection, the Hextalls have a chance to become the first family to have four generations play in the NHL.

Yeah.. I had looked him up when you said he was part of the Kings organization.. I didn't see anything tying him to the Flyers in the last few years...
I know I saw him, but maybe for another team... Who knows..
