Howie58 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Greetings: The early moneyline makes the Panthers heavy favorites (-204); we've gone 2-7 out of the last nine in Sunrise: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-florida-odds-march-7-2024-2019849 While we beat them 2-1 in February; the tale of the tape shows why they're a Stanley Cup contender: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/fla-vs-phi/2024/03/07/2023020996 We blocked 22 shots in the last matchup. The O and B can't get into a run-and-gun with this squad. You wonder if the impending deadline distracts our D? LGF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Nick Seeler placed on IR and Adam Ginning was recalled awesome another young guy who can sit in the press box. Attard already been up last 2 games zero minutes played a colossal f uck this organization is. And it gets even better. Anthony Di Marco @ADiMarco25 Seeler contract will be in the 3-4 yrs range.

Or.... or is it, Attard isn't an NHL defenseman, there is a reason he didn't make the team out of camp and wasn't a call up before now. Same with Ginning. You feeling me? This is not the criteria I'm going to use to determine the organization is fukced up. YMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesesteak Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I miss the Flyers vs. Panthers games from back in the late 90s/2000s, the kind where it was just fights with a hockey game breaking out here and there. that monster of a player Peter Worrell was always involved...Flyers probably brought in Brasher just to handle that guy....Richardson needed a break from being pounded.

They'll never tell season ticket holders, that it's a rebuild. Not sure why they won't admit, that it's a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't do it no more. However yall enjoy it....first round exit in bound well if they even make it knowing Flyer luck they'll miss out by like 2 points and then get late 1st rounders.

I'm not taking it personally, because I'm not, not trading the players you want traded for a return you have imagined. I don't see a team going all-in this year. This management group was never going to accept losing for the sake of draft picks. They just weren't, they've said so, they are trying to build a culture in addition to adding talent, **** was really ****ed up around this club. Stripping all the things down to nothing accomplishes only half of the goal. Even then, does it accomplish anything beyond maybe better odds of an opportunity to pick a talented player? I've seen a bunch of talented players on that New Jersey team step on their cranks all season. They are Lord of the Flies over there. They have talent but there aren't any voices telling the talent what to do, how to be a pro. They kinda suck actually. I watch the Sixers, been a fan since the Dr J days...they are no closer to winning a 'chip today than they were at the beginning of the "process". Watching talented players underachieve does nothing for me. I know from interviews the Danny-Jonsey-Torts headed monster thinks culture is too often overlooked in the race for talent. Knowing that, it makes sense they would want to keep a few older guys that compete hard around to show the young guys the way. Bill Beliceck was a "culture guy" he had Brady I know, but the point is he won with a star and guys that bought into the culture and he won for decades with that formula. From my seat here in the 'taint of Pennsyltucky trading Walker for a 1st in '25 is better than I was expecting. Taking back a soft player with one year on his contract is the cost of doing business. The 5th rounder? I mean okay Noah Cates is a pretty good one, but how many really make the NHL? And it's not for a few years it can be recouped. I don't see what's happening now as Homer 3.1 or Fletcher 2.0. Even if I squint I can't Edited March 6 by mojo1917 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be wrong. They've got a lot pinned on Michkov coming two years from now and we can just hope that turns out right... To be clear, I'm not saying strip to the studs. I do get the need to have vets around. I do see the problems in Buffalo and New Jersey. Then I see a team looking to "build" around three (four) guys who were "big parts" of the group that oversaw the (alleged and apparent) complete and total vivisection of team culture for the past ten years. It's almost as if they don't really mean that the culture was completely destroyed any more than they mean they are rebuilding "the right way"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the core group as Konecny, Farabee, Sanhiem, York, maybe Tippett and Foerster and sadly Couturier. If 14 can return to 80% of his Selke self, that's not a bad player- but I don't view him as the epicenter of the team anymore, I think that gravity has shifted towards #11. I think that's a pretty decent group of players to add additional good to very good players with the next couple years of multiple first picks and a ZOMG talent. No young guys are getting shipped out, a 5th round pick was traded away, that's not going to change the course of the franchise if we're being honest. I think this group of Konecny and younger players is a pretty good base to start building onto. It is an interesting time to be a fan of this team. It's been fun seeing everyone's perspectives.

All of them were here when the team found itself completely devoid of any semblance of Flyer hockey. My quibble is more with the latter line than the former. 13 minutes ago, mojo1917 said: I think this group of Konecny and younger players is a pretty good base to start building onto. Agreed, I just wish they were doing that. Couturier, Sanheim, Laughton, Ristolainen, and now Seeler are all here for four more years... 15 minutes ago, mojo1917 said: It is an interesting time to be a fan of this team.

Let's see if the next one moves in a better direction... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to quibble too much, but Sanhiem and Konecny were younger guys- only Couturier was a part of the rudderless leadership group. And he was the most junior member. Torts chose Laughts for leadership because he's a Torts style guy. Laughton is only signed for one more year. I didn't include him because he doesn't fit the timeline. He was here but his voice was pretty far down the pecking order too. The turnover from the Giroux group, the Provorov trade and the ascension of the Travii has been good IMO.

Howie58 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 I've turned the audio off from the Bally Sports Florida home feed I am stuck with.

But going to that arena and dealing with fans who show up late, overpriced drinks, and lousy seating makes me stay away. I haven't been to a Panthers game for 4-5 years. And I used to have partial season's tickets. I sit there in a daze, not even caring what happens and glad to head home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Watching this reminds me of how much we need another 30+ goal scorer or two. We can't take the war to them. We are skating well. But our few shots are from 30+ feet. Bobo will eat them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
