Wow, what a blast from the past reference! Well done!

Hey! I told you my issue in confidence!

It depends where the zipper opening likely would be used more frequently. NTTAWWT

I guess what i was thinking, is "how stupid do you have to be to want to play hockey for a living but not know what size skates to wear?" What is this, "Ice Princess?"

Even if not his IQ

Too soon?

I'd trust Casey Anthony to better develop kids than LHV.

The Philadelphia Flyers: A Beacon of Hope in Hockey! Wow, where do I even start? The Philadelphia Flyers have once again proven that they are the absolute best at... well, being persistent! Year after year, this team bravely takes to the ice, showing the world that winning isn’t everything. After all, consistency is key, and the Flyers have mastered the art of consistently rebuilding. Their strategy is nothing short of genius—why win games when you can build character? The Flyers understand that it's not about how many games you win, but how many life lessons you can squeeze out of a season. Who needs a Stanley Cup when you can have the joy of watching your favorite team just *try their hardest*? And let’s talk about their defense. The Flyers’ defense is like a fine sieve, gracefully allowing pucks to pass through with an elegance that most teams only dream of. It takes real talent to make every game a nail-biter, and the Flyers deliver in spades. Their goalies, bless them, really get to work on their reflexes with all the practice they get. The Flyers’ fan base is also a shining example of loyalty. These fans show up, year after year, proving that true love means sticking around no matter how many times you get your hopes up, only for them to be dashed in spectacular fashion. It's almost poetic. So, if you’re looking for a team that never fails to surprise (mostly in how they lose) and provides endless opportunities for personal growth (through the power of disappointment), then the Philadelphia Flyers are the team for you. Here's to another season of "maybe 3 years from now!" Brought to you by ChatGPT Prompt: write a realistic review of the Philadelphia Flyers

This. All day this. And when you draft in such a that depends upon development and have a crap development system, you end up exactly where the flyers have been. I wish we were in Tucson and could just pilfer other's development efforts like pre-cap (not that it won us any cups).

Yeah, i didn't look at the rankings below them, but i have to imagine it's a cluster of teams that have been at or near the top and have been using picks in deadline trades to "get them home " And some other teams doing the same just to win a playoff round (here's looking at you, Toronto). And like you alluded to, the day Michkov is not considered a prospect (not sure why Drysdale still is), they drop to upper 20s.

What knucklehead wrote that those wingers won without a top center? Were they from Tucson? I mean, not only did Kuch have Stamkos, Braydon Point is a day's train ride better than anything the Flyers have had at center since Richards. And Tampa surrounded Hedman with pretty good players on the back end every single year. And don't forget for several years they had the best goalie in the game (apologies to Hellebuyck fans). And yes, Barkov for Tkachuk. Again, goalie. And a strong cast around them, though (in my opinion) not quite as strong an argument as in the case of the Tampa cup teams. The Kucherov and Tkachuk argument is stupid on its face.

As some of us already know, the cavalry is not coming. Our front office continues to delude what it considers (in many cases correctly) its stupid fan base. Corey Pronman Aug 28, 2024 A massive part of Philadelphia’s future is tied into the often debated Matvei Michkov. If he hits, they have a potential star winger they can build around. If he doesn’t, their system has some good pieces, especially after the positive season Oliver Bonk had, but high upside isn’t abundant in this group of players. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5632727/2024/08/28/philadelphia-flyers-nhl-prospect-pipeline-rankings-2024/ Ranks the prospects with thoughts on the top 7. Other than Michkov, literally no one is projected either top line or top pairing. And after Michkov, Drysdale, Bonk, and Foerster, not bullish on any being top 6. When you insist on drafting middle of the pack with no game plan, you guarantee a middle of the pack team with no hope.

Man,, this thread is so much better with the ignore button. Sheer idiocy on steroids and lighter fluid.

Seriously, without the time/date stamp, it would be really difficult to figure out which of the last 12 years this p̶o̶s̶t̶ thread was from.

Man, I cannot believe I did that. I don't mispronounce or misspell the two, but in my defence, I had and still have a weird virus going on that I'm really a bit cognitively impaired. Since last Tuesday. I've probably done others, but there's at least two other occasions I've meant one and typed the other -- probably some I haven't caught. At least I didn't say "haven't cot."
