  1. The exact euphemism Holmgren said about Fletcher for the last three years. The only thing that could explain how he lasted as long as he did (Fletcher, not Holmgren. Holmgren probably lasts as long as his bike rides)
  2. ^^^This. This right here. Really pretty much onboard with your entire post. Did well with Flyers and Preds, just no cigar. Just nothing in Washington. I just think Trots showed how it should be done there and for whatever reason they moved on. Maybe not an easy assignment for Lavy to follow a coach who won. That doesn't happen often outside of a retirement, I don't think. We'll see. I just didn't like the firing at MSG. I thought it was dumb. I think he's being given a strange hand to play with. I really like Lavy and hope I'm wrong. I just don't like the circumstances there.
  3. I am so highly entertained by this post. I've taken a screenshot so I can look at it when I'm having a bad day. Lol
  4. I don't argue that. What I'm concerned about is 46 games in a season being the norm.
  5. If they're "win now and to hell with 3-4 years from now," then they're way better off with karlsson than TD Ahole. But I'd ask to see behind Door #3
  6. Because Karlsson and Brent Burns worked so damn awesomely in San Jose. Honestly, the Canes shock me every year they continue to do well. I swear it's despite Waddell, not because of.
  7. This is why I was and remain highly concerned about our pick at #7. It's not necessarily an immediate issue--probably more like wait and see. It's the waiting that's a killer.
  8. I'm going to bet that Caufield is often broken and on the shelf
  9. But he still has a sexual perversion for actual gophers (NTTAWWT)
  10. I think it may have been the choices in the draft order neighborhood. He didn't want Montreal, car c'est français. Et parce que les impôts sont terribles. He didn't want Arizona, because his basement is bigger than the arena they play in. He apparently really didn't want Washington and didn't think he'd make it past them if Philly didn't take him. So, cheesesteaks, hoagies, pretzels and UPENN syphillis it is.
  11. Probably why I don't own a team because I would have without blinking. I never liked Lindros. I thought he was a douchebag before he was a Flyer and nothing after changed my mind. Sure, I cheered because it was nice to see the Flyers be competitive again after the z Holmgren, Jay Snider years, but he was still a douchebag. But I wouldn't have traded the package for him, and I would have seen what package I could have gotten for trading him instead of Brindy. Unlike Bobble Head can't skate without looking at the puck, Brindy actually won something.
  12. Oh, I thought it was the 9th. Christmas a day early!
  13. Yep, they strip you of most of your belongings. Every time.
  14. I don't know. Im liked him but how much of positioning and stick work was because he was a head taller than most when he played? I suppose, but I'm not sure with someone like Cam York. Maybe.
  15. If he can help bring York and/or Sanheim along, he's worth every penny. I think he could legitimately help York.
  16. I was good with this pick (if surprised) and am liking it better and better.
  17. Was screaming the exact same thing at the television while watching the draft. They could have traded back to 12-17 to a team that wanted to draft a top 10 player and still would have had a straight shot at their late 20s dreamcream.
  18. If only you were here before @Podein25's sheep died. Of syphillis.
  19. Holy crap what a group. I'm still shocked about Zadina. I really liked him in his draft year. I'm still on why no one tried. It really would have amounted to a one year "show me" and then waive him if not. I can't imagine want either Philly or Arizona have to lose. You have a better vantage. Is he simply not an NHL player or is there something "culture" that is scaring teams off?
