Fun @NHLFlyers fact for the day.

Which players in team history have finished top 20 in @NHL scoring 5x or more?

Bobby Clarke: 7x (2, 2, 5, 6, 8, 8, 10)
Claude Giroux: 7x (2, 3, 3, 10, 11, 13, 19)
John LeClair: 6x (4, 5, 9, 9, 13, 16)
Eric Lindros: 5x (1, 6, 7, 11, 20)#Flyers

Giroux is longest tenured athlete in the city right now and if he gets a Cup and finds a way to have normal Claude Giroux years, statistically, he gets into the Hall of Fame.

I would trade your left nut too!
👍😂

I've always wondered: who is the other party in nut trading? Like who is this mysterious nut collector getting your left/right nut?

Maybe there is a market for testes. Like, one testicle is worth 10 Schrute bucks.

Perhaps they can mined like bitcoin and this is just another (frank)ing thing to raise the prices of graphics cards.

Dibs.

In this case its the hockey gods?

I understand not all these goals are the US goalies fault, but maybe it's time to come get him?

And, just like that, here comes Cayden Primeau in goal for the US!

Jay O'Brien with the snipe on a 2 on 1!

Frost on the PK for Canada. No Ratcliff today?

Haven't really noticed.

The Flyers prospects (and Cayden Primeau) have such a big role with Team USA, I've mostly been watching that squad.

Sammulson Jr is out there a lot. Future and former Flyers well represented today.

Yeah, I definitely root for those kids that were born here, like Mattias Samuelsson and Cayden Primeau.

And Jay O'Brien scores again!

Woof, that Canadian kid straight up took Primeau out.

Canada 5 - Flyers Prospects - 4

Again, call it whatever you like. If a player taken 11th overall ends up a 3rd pair Dman, you did not get value for your pick and you made a poor choice. I don’t see how that statement can be argued.

Gotta go w BiggE on this one. If you draft a Dman 11th overall, and the pick doesn’t turn out to be a top 4 stalwart, you could have used the pick more wisely. That same value player could have been drafted later.

Nobody has disputed that.

Not sure about that. Not sure Sammy is not going to be a top 4 D somewhere. The Flyers have scored big on D-Men after they picked Morin. What if Provey and Sanhiem hadn't been drafted or panned out. If other first round picks fair better, its not an indictment on the pick made at the time.

Thought you did, in an earlier post. Must have been a misread.

Wasn’t referring to any particular player. I’m still VERY high on Sam! Jury is still out on him. Way too early to judge the big man. Big Dmen develop much slower, and he lost a year, plus part of this one. Timeline for Forwards and D is very different. Each case stands on its own.👍
