I have made it know that i am not the biggest fan of Hakstol.

I just don't feel like he isn't getting the most out of his roster.

HOWEVER

Coach Hakstol made a visit to my son's hockey practice this morning at the Voorhees skate zone, the Flyers practice facility. My son plays on a special needs youth Flyers hockey team.

He took time out of his morning to visit the locker room and take pictures with each of the kids and the parents.

He then spent 40 minutes on the ice with the kids instructing them,talking to them, assisting them, even taking part in passing the puck during some of the drills.

Hakstol was total CLASS. He spoke with the kids and the parents. Answered questions and was just a down to earth good guy.

Thank you Mr.Hakstol, the smile and joy you brought to the kids faces was priceless and something i will never, ever forget.

Really was. Love hearing stuff like that.

Too many CEO's, and elites just sit in their gated communities. World is a much better place with the kind of actions that Hak did.

Rubtsov and Lindblom both have top six NHL forward upside. A few others, such as Vorobyov, have top nine upside.

what do you think are realistic point projections for them? 40-50 point players?

Got a free ticket from a guy at work for the jets/flyers game next week.

Not sure how to feel.

Give it away to someone less fortunate. Lead the way and show the rich executives and elites how to help people. Give some spending money for food and parking also.

As a hockey fan I'd be excited to see Liane. As a Flyers fan it's probably not worth the cost of parking.

Really hard to say at this point. Lindblom has been dominant playing against grown me in Sweden and seems to have good skills, hockey sense and a real nose for the net. If he becomes a regular on the pp, I could see him being a 25 goal, 50 point player.

Rubtsov has oodles of skill, skates well and plays a very smart game. If he continues to get stronger and gets regular pp time, he could one day put up 25 goals and 60+ points.

Best guess is that Lindblom is at worst a 3rd liner but with legit 2nd line potential. Rubtsov has a good shot to be 2C and while it's not likely, it is possible that he blossoms into a legit 1C

I just got a free ticket to a jets/flyers game this season.

I think I'm the less fortunate one.

Flyers and jets games are usually pretty entertaining. Liane is an exciting player.

Jets have had poor goaltending all year similar to the Flyers.

There are plenty of less fortunate kids who would love to go to a hockey game.

You paid the exact amount the Flyers are worth seeing in person.

It would be irrelevant if all someone wants to do is tell other people how they should conduct themselves, and not conduct themselves the same way.
