Captain Foppa!


Wow...a European is the new Captain of the Flyers! What is this world coming to? Cats and dogs will be sleeping together, it will be anarchy! Did someone drug Clarkie when this decision was being made? Or did Mr. Snider convince Clarkie that Pete Forsberg is really just an ordinary Jewish fella from Northern Ontario?

Seriously, this is a good move. While he's probably the most talented overall player in Orange and Black history, it is his heart, grit and desire that make him an ideal Captain. Plus, it shows Forsberg that we want him back for a couple more years, which sources tell me is being worked on as we speak. Ultimately, this move should work perfectly because when Foppa is ready to head back to Sweden, Mike Richards should have enough experience and respect "in the room" to take over the "C".

Jeez, it's not even hockey season yet and the Flyers are already dominating the Philly sports headlines. I like it!
