He is horrible, a complete defensive liability. At this point I don't think that there is even a choice between him and Vandermeer. Maybe he'd be better on the wing, but I think he'd clearly be better in another uniform.Recchi is atrocious. It is truly sad to see whata piece of garbage he has become. At 5 mil per year? AMAZING.And how many more years do I have to watch Therien's goffy @ss attempt to carry the puck up the ice only to pass it right to someone on the other team. I'm convinced he has the goods on Clarkie, that is the only possible reason he's been a flyer d-man for like 24 years. St. Jacques would be better than him. My only solace will be when Woywitka takes his spot next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have lots of reading material." bakanekimiwa to myers:"this seems to be the single most important topic of your life right now. and that is ... very very concerning.you also casually mentioned something about being blown away or shot or something?it's funny when you don't seem dangerous, but you're starting to appear dangerous"myers to bak:"I am not dangerous. You are trying to make the mods believe that to get me whacked. Dont you know I can see right through your tactics" bakanekimiwa to myers: "hahaha lol.. oh darn.. you're on to me rick.rick, if you had 2 brain cells to rub together, you'd realize that you are doing more than enough to get yourself banned again."

AJgoal Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I need to find some of the bad calls I made too, but here's a post from Rux back in November of 2010:From:ruxpinto: azizPostedNovember 14, 2010 12:13 amOnly because I think you might actually get something for Leighton, so I don't just waive him.Plus, he IS signed for next year and I don't *think* Boucher is. Laziness on my part for not looking it up if he is.I don't think you get a thing for Boucher in a trade, so it's either keep him as backup while trading Leighton or waive him.On the other hand, it's not like it would be the first time...or 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time...that Leighton's been waived.(I guess in the end he did have some value)But I found that one because it was in the same thread as this classic gem:From:KuatoTo: MadDog4PostedNovember 30, 2010 2:05 pm"Well, ok, the stats are not impressive. I will give you that. But when analyzing a player who is only having a second year with the team, you can't really use stats as a backbone of the analysis/scrutiny."Oh well Kuato didn't. Kuato has noted the several other "little things" he does not do.He's not a defensively savvy player. He's not particularly physical. Heck, he's not even a face-off specialist (which is hockey's equivalent to a long snapper).Taking all of these things into account, Kuato would actually very much like for you to explain how he's1. a good player.2. has a high trade value.That is your claim, correct? Because you really aren't making a great case for that. He may be one day, Kuato completely agrees. Kuato actually said he would not trade him now (unless it was a great offer - which Kuato doesn't think is coming)."If Marco Sturm, Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau brought San Jose Joe Thornton, what makes you so convinced that JVR cannnot fetch the Flyers not only a second round pick (which is what I believe Aziz was suggesting), but a *really* good player?"Aziz said 2nd line player.JVR is not worth his 2nd pick. There's always been speculation about that. Now some of the criticism was unfair, but the second he opted to stay in college over juniors this kind of talk started. Then (after already having suspicion about him) once he does actually come to the bigs, he looks completely outclassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've found many, many posts from philly.com typed by myself that were flat out misses. When you are posting a lot (had 18,000 posts there) and making calls on players, the more you post, the better your chances of messing it up. A few posts I made had me asking "what in the holy hell was I thinking back then?"....ha ha...oh well, live and learn, huh? For instance, I found a thread were I was arguing with the maker03, who thought Wade Redden was soft and would not be an all star for long. It was during one of his better years and I just could not see it.....I knew he was not physical, acutally avoided that part of the game at times, but never, ever thought his offense would go south. Man, was I wrong there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
