Given the wording, I believe it's not a proven troll, but more a poster with potential.

A troll prospect, if you will.

Know what I find, instead of debating the points made, instead there is a choice made to discuss the poster instead of the posts itself. And that's really because the points I make are valid points. Not facts, but valid points on the current state of the Flyers. Why I personally may not agree with the choice to play Vandevelde on the top line, I see the reasoning behind it. And I also understand why Akeson isn't playing. But it couldn't possibly be due to the players play! Only that the coach is biased or doesn't know what he's doing.

Too many yrs of minor league trolling, more of a suspect than a prospect now.

I can't wait to hear your reaction when they pick 12th overall and select a hulking defenseman with limited offensive upside

I can't wait to see the Lindros sized reaction on these threads when it goes down. I'll have no skin on my back from all the patting.

Pretty cool how he's pushing that ad around the ice with his stick.

And you don't think that will still result in a solid prospect?

They can still grab a good prospect in that spot. I wish the NHL had the NBA rule where you have a chance to land any of the top 3 picks instead of just the 1st pick.

They've definitely faced some challenges thus far this season, some real Flyers luck, but with the way the Metro's looking (to me) right now, just based on me looking at it tonight, I still think they get in.

The Pens are gonna get in; we all know that. But even with all of the injuries, the Flyers are right there and nobody else looks like they're going to leave them behind (in the division) at the moment, so for now (knock on wood), I still don't see them missing the playoffs

But the problem is that you see your valid points as the only valid points out there.

You can have 2 valid points. They could be both wrong, both right, both opinions, both facts, or a fun mix thereof. You fail to see that. You only see your point as valid, and anyone else's point as invalid and wrong.

That's not how it works, dude.

Columbus and NYR being ravaged by injuries and departures have definitely helped the Flyers, and while the Islanders are improved, you do have to wonder if Jack Capuano's time is either running out or has expired for effectiveness
