January 8, 1984 -- Rick MacLeish's return to the Flyers ended when he was dealt to Detroit. GM Bob McCammon said "We had to do what was best for Ricky. He wants to continue playing. He's going to get a chance in Detroit. Hopefully, he'll extend his career another year. We could have kept him around for the rest of the year, but then he's just going to disintegrate. He's not going to play much with all the youngsters we have. It's not going to help him or the hockey club if he's sitting around all the time. It was tough news to take, but he took it well. It's not easy. I don't think he liked it. But if he's going to play in the National League, I think this is a great opportunity for him. If Ricky MacLeish had come to the front and scored on a consistent basis or done the things we thought he could do, he would have stayed with us." MacLeish played 25 games for the Red Wings then retired.
October 10, 1984 -- The Flyers traded Darryl Sittler to Detroit for Murray Craven and Joe Paterson. "I respect Darryl as a friend, a hard player and a great teammate.

Greg Smyth scored the only goal in his Flyers' career to give Philly an early 1-0 lead and afterwards said "I went across the circles and shot. It's my first goal in 82 games, since I was a junior.

FLYERS' PRESEASON SCHEDULE (All times are Eastern Time):
Are you going to say that in every game day thread? Jesus Christ. I'd like to watch a game or two without being all nervous. Maybe, oh I don't know, ENJOY the ****ing thing.
Can't get to see this one due to early morning. Good thing is that's the last day on the work, didn't want to continue contract so I could keep watching some Flyers hockey thruout the winter.

ya this stream is legit. And the reason why many may have to watch this is because I believe TCN is CN8 because of the Phillies, aka all Verizon Fios customers are ****ed. **** Comcast, I hope im wrong.
Sidenote: F comcast up the arse, the first 2 regular season games are on TCN aka old CN8. Why does Comcast think they will actually take back customers from Verizon Fios by doing this. They may get 45-75 house holds who actually switch back all year from this awful marketing strategy. They just make people not want there service even more.

any word on the lineups for tonite? pretty much all the players left on the roster are guys i really want to get a better look at. i think this game may be a nice look into the defense and the remaining winger spot after bell pretty much locked that 4th line center spot over the last few preseason games.
