Thank you. I'm tired of being the only one giving him guff.
- tangent_man

Sorry

Can you blame him? If he answered their questions, they criticized him. If he didn't, they criticized him and his friends on the team. You need to have a media presence like Pronger if you want the media to not bash you uncontrollably here.

I don't know if I blame so much as I just don't care what Richards has to say at this point.

He's not the leader of that team and nothing he says about the past means anything anyway.

I did enjoy the post blow off twitter pity party from the reporters, however.

Maybe we can get you two together for a photo-op?

Calling the kid a pipe cleaner, comparing him to Bynum, and then complaining about a 25 game losing streak..

It's been an issue all season. He needs to flip the switch, we're already down the stretch here.

Hmmm... Ok... Noel is a hulking He-Man, and the 25 game losing streak is building lots of character.

Whewww.... I'm in the know now.

don't let the corsi peeps see this post!!!

That's how tense things were around here. A brief comment on advanced stats exploded into endless debate. So glad they are winning again

He's just in-character. HockeyBuzz' own Don Rickles.

Was Rickles proficient at doing schtick?

I like to think that Sam Elliot's Wade Garrett didn't die at the end of "Roadhouse", but lived thanks to the blonde doctor and lived to befriend The Dude and drink sarsaprilla.

It was more an attitude comparison.

Is that Gar from Mask? That movie was hilarious.

Either that, or his afterlife is as the Dude's guardian angel type fella.

The philosophical discussion potential...

In a Q&D scan of it, the Flyers third D pair is probably average when it comes to CF%...Chicago's third pair-or at least the two defensemen with the least usage-are superior. But when you look at the Rangers or Bruins or Ducks or Sabres, MacDonald & Schenn are right in the middle.

The thing is, you look for trends to predict future performance or get an idea of what's happening with certain players.
- Jsaquella

It really depends on who is the 3rd pair. MacDonald since becoming a Flyers is 3rd on the team among defenseman in icetime per game. The only defenseman with significantly more icetime per game in Coburn.

Totally. The Zen would have gotten everywhere.

- jmatchett383

Nope -- don't blame him at all. The Philly media are a bunch of a-holes, classic "Build You Up So We Can Tear You Down" set of buffoons

We need one of these where Chief actually punches the switch to turn it on.

If the music doesn't appeal, the interviews are worth it. Their bit on Joan Rivers is on youtube, one of my favorites.
