Tomusla is a smart man to have kept his business as a fallback in case the coaching thing didn't work out.

Pronger was more of the crosscheck you in the back so hard you split in two kind of physical than he was bone crunching hits skating across the middle.

This was a very thought provoking contribution to the board, tyvm for sharing this. I think going forward I will be able to better grasp the concepts of advanced stats. Particularly the effect of ear muffs on corsi %... Ear muffs... Mmmm

Why are you pissed at Hakstol's forward usage?
- MJL

He's overplaying the bottom 6 talent on the roster IMO. And he had Voracek playing with VDV at ES for waaaay too long. Team has won games despite some of his decisions IMO(natural ups and downs of a season for a middle of the pack team).

G - RyJo- Coots would be an amazing 1-2-3 punch down the middle though.


Only problem is the cost to extend Johansen and the cost to acquire him.

Then Flyers will never win a Cup and never be elite. Got to pay to be elite.

Jyrki Jokipakka (6'3 215),
Jamie Oleksiak (6'7 260),
Patrik Nemeth (6'3 230).

- Tomahawk


They all have size but Nemeth is the only one of the three with any real physicality to his game, in a Nick Grossmann sort of way. Oleksiak shows it every once in awhile.

The team is 7-2-1 in the last 10 games and they're two points out of a playoff spot. His player usage has followed a predictable pattern. While I don't agree with every single move he's made, I think he's doing a fine job. Just because I don't agree with a move, doesn't make it a mistake.

It would be, and I don't have an issue with anyone thinking the Flyers should make a pitch. Makes sense in some ways.

Pretty much this, if you don't want to read it all and still weren't sure:

This year's Sixers are probably the worst team in modern NBA history, and they are behind every other tank job and expansion team ever

The day Sam Hinkie gets the gate will be a good day

(I mean the actual trade scenario in the article. Not your stupid thing)

Girl to the left of Pronger is the best one.

The others for the most part have stick legs. No booty comes with that.

The Only Goal Is Winning A Championship (And Building A Dynasty), and the Sixers remain well-positioned to draft or develop a superstar.

I agree, but they also remain well positioned to continue to be an embarrassment.

Have they at any time been well positioned to draft or develop a superstar in the previous 3 years?
