  1. @BobbyClarkeFan16 Except the mouth-breathers (NTTAWWT) on the Flyers' Facebook page.
  2. And the season itself was entertaining to watch. Everybody wins.
  3. Not me. I want nothing to do with that.
  4. Well, I mean yeah. This is kind of why I said the jury was still out, but on the other hand he IS in the NHL and the second club didn't pick him up off waivers; they traded an NHL defenseman (YMMV) and a first round pick for him. But for me, the verdict is still out on whether using the pick for him there was any more justified or if it would have been better to just trade back for multiple picks. At this point, I agree the 2nd round compensation is better than either O'Brien or most, if not all, of those players in the next 10 picks.
  5. I wanted Sandin in that draft and was sure they'd go there. He's in the NHL, of course, but I suppose the verdict is still out on whether this is a miss.
  6. This. Completely this. HE'S 35 WITH AN EXPIRING CONTRACT. WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEFINITION OF AN OLD WASHED UP DEFENSEMAN????
  7. Why else would you trade a 4th for someone with an expiring contract? When I first saw the headline I assumed WE were getting a pick because Buffalo was trying to add cap space for some inexplicable reason and needed to get rid of EJ. There are no words for the cognitive disfunction.
  8. I still watch these every once in awhile. Just for the heck of it. My youngest daughter will be 25 this summer. She still watches it on her own periodically.
  9. Well, if you prorate, the problems become oblivious..
  10. This is exactly my own minority opinion. No argument will change my mind on this. Not that there aren't Americans who enjoy it, but i do think the enjoyment is stronger in Canada. Give me world juniors a million times before this. I'm not as strong as you in dislike for the Olympics in general, though i don't remember the last time I watched a total of 10 minutes of any Olympic games. I kind of like some of the downhill skiing she sled stuff if I'm somewhere and they have it on. I appreciate the skill in curling but for me it's like watching televised horseshoes or cornhole. So, I really don't bother watching, but I aggressively hate the NHL participation in the Olympics.
  11. I'm in the minority on this subject. Moving right along.
  12. Great call. Fully on board. No more, no less. Don't want him to put a slapper into an empty net? Don't let him. This is hockey, not synchronized swimming (NTTAWWT).
  13. I cannot imagine the justification for the Flyers retiring someone's number whose number isn't already retired. I can't think of any player -- and I've liked my fair share -- who is deserving of that.
  14. We certainly do this with driving, or operating machinery, and often childcare, etc. So yeah, I can't disagree here.
  15. For whatever it's worth, I think this is a spot on take.
  16. Frankly? Yes. But I'm in the US so I cannot begin to throw stones.
  17. Except we're not talking about #4. We're talking about the one too busy reading his press clippings to stay with his man and stopped skating. TZ is simply a terrible/selfish hockey player. Good not great in about 60 feet of it and no idea the rest exists and wouldn't be bothered to be curious to find out. In 2 weeks, Philly would eat him alive if torts didn't bench him yet.
