No, i agree. He was good. He's still a sub-average goalie

He played Jack Frost on The Santa Claus 3, right?

What percentage do you figure have jobs by the end of next season?

I'll give lots of offense. He was decent in this series, but he's simply been terrible. Until the Leafs spend money on a legitimate defenseman and, more importantly, a legitimate goalie, they're going to see this same result year after year. The problem is they have so much money tied up in the three headless horsemen and Tavares that they really don't have the money for a top flight goalie. And due to government healthcare, they can't get elective spinal implantation. So, here we are stuck in Groundhog Day. You prorate loser, it's still a loser.

Is it fair to add the Maple Leafs here? They seem like maybe a different category that has the same result. To your basic question, put me in the tear it down/rebuild camp. I'm driven by a desire to win. I've been to parades. There is very little that beats that (there ARE things better; I said "little"). Shaking hands a fortnight later is little consolation. But tearing it down and never actually managing the rebuild is no fun. And the Flyers, for example, have been so pathetic that at least some decent hockey for awhile was entertaining. The truth is though, that I watched extremely little if it because it was ultimately always doomed. Tear it down, proper rebuild, win (or have legitimate chance) for me, please.

Yeah, better than JVR, but please don't eat it.

I can't tell if with the "size and meanness" you're being facetious or if you really are Bobby Clarke. If said meanie person first has skill, I'm fine, but mean/size vs skill, this club has got to start acquiring skill.

Yeah. Sorry. Mine was a d### post. I my tepid defense, I'd just come from Facebook. But you deserve better. I apologize.

I'll take the second pick. Except we have crap luck with that

I mean it's right in the NHL press release https://www.nhl.com/news/2024-nhl-draft-lottery-set-for-may-7#:~:text=The 2024 draft will reportedly,wins one of the draws.

I already saw the exchange after this with radoran, but there better be a truckload coming back with Zegras (McTavish?) if we're trading Konecny. Even with Risto going out, I'm not trading Konecny for the circus monkey and little else. McTavish, Clownshow, a decent pick for Konecny, Risto, and lesser pick. That's where the Flyers should start. I'll take Carlsson instead of McTavish and we can throw in Laughton. Not a Zegras fan. At all. Pretty little Michigan pony show thing not withstanding.

This is very true. Ask my wife.

I have too. I also enjoy nutrition discussions with Jeffrey Dahmer.

I agree. He shouldn't have been fired. But at this stage, I wouldn't rehire him either.

Okay, honest question. I'm interested in opinions. Obviously the NHL rink is smaller than over there. Setting aside the possibility that the difference in angles plus nerves didn't help him in his one game. Considering his size does the NHL ice size hurt him, help him, or not relevant? Especially in situations in which the opponent has the zone.

I'd offer Laughton for Krebs + 4th rounder and see if it flies. It could even be our own pick back. They can use Laughton better than they can Krebs, and the Flyers could use Krebs offense IF he hits where originally projected. The fourth because Laughton plays more positions and situations and because the Flyers' center cupboard isn't exactly deep.

Let's go Rangers. #HateTheCaps

Wow. I was completely sober and still missed the typo (i swipe to type and didn't realize. Probably not technically a typo). I miss the days that I could go back and edit.

I'm completely with you on the Edmonton experience. I can certainly emphasize that it had to be painful. I imagine the Flyers would emulate it. This is probably why Tucson takes the position it does (aside from sheer idiocy). The problem with not going the draft route (i know I'm preaching to the choir -- actually, I'm probably the choir repeating the liturgy back to the preacher) is you end up with a team like the flyers with a room full of complementary players that are paid so much that you can't afford to go out and pay a game changer. Maybe one, but only one. So you end up with, at best, a wild card team and delude yourself into "this was a good year. My sister looked really good on our date."

And still haven't won (the Cup) with him. Not attempting to pour salt; just doubling down that it's not automatic even then. But in a cap era, it's still the way to go. You're not getting there just throwing Comcast money around like it's 1999.

The Utah Commanders The Utah Wives Club The Utah Tabernacle Boys Choir The Utah Pipe Organs The Utah Brass (to complement the Utah "Jazz," since this is soooooo prevalent in Utah). The Utah X, formerly known as Coyotes.

In the spirit of this thread, this was my final season in Sweet 16. The Hell Bears are moving to Salt Lake City to take up pipe organ lessons from Richard Elliott.

Congrats to Gulliver @yave1964 on his 23rd consecutive Lilliput Hockey Championship.

Yet people still show up for Flyers games. I'd say people in Arizona are smarter, but readily available evidence says otherwise
