"Counting Penguins"

So the Flyers and Penguins both came into the NHL in 1967. Last year the Flyers kept saying it was it was 40 years of Flyers hockey. Not seasons mine you, but years.

Okay, no way it was 40 YEARS of hockey, because they started in fall of 1967, not 1966. SO this fall will be 40 years of Flyers hockey. Also, there were NEVER 40 seasons either. They did not play for the the 2005-2006 season. So, thats really LAME to consider that a "season" you didnt give us any hockey! By that logic the Sopranos would have had like 9 seasons, counting all the years new shows weren't aired as seasons. Maybe they would sell the season sets and some would just be blank discs?

Anyway, what is even more amusing is that the Penguins who again were in the same group of expansion teams in 1967, are doing a big deal for their home openers for it being 40 years of Penguins Hockey. Because it is!

Yeah, I now some people debated me on the who how many seasons were there thing. IF you don't believe me think how we realized the millennium is actually 2001, because start counting at 0. Same thing. When the Flyers started hockey in fall of October that had not been around for a year already, so fall of 1968 was one year later of them starting. Still don't believe me. Write every year from 1967 on a piece of paper (I actually had to do this to prove this very point once) and number each year. That comes out to 40 seasons, but you have to take one away because of the lock out. THe Flyers campaign from last season was clearly YEARS not seasons. Seasons is a stretch at best, but years was always a boldface lie. Its impossible for these two teams to have different 40 year benchmarchs in their history.

Oh yeah and 1985-1986 will always be the season that Pelle died.
