What do you expect from a fanbase that is mostly made up of Eagles fans?

Eagles win - "Best team ever, Superbowl baby, Wentz is amazing, D is coming around, (frank) Dallas!"

Eagles lose: "This team sucks, blow it up. Our Wentz is broken, return him. Trade everyone on the D, (frank) Dallas!"

Huh? Are you talking about WWE? That isnt a sport. It isnt a competitive game. It is a scripted soap opera. Its no different than any TV show.

You take issue with this as a sport, yet you have no issue with his others which consist of:

- Elves sitting on a horse as they beat it with a stick to make it run fast
- Grown men sitting still in a harness and turning their arms back and forth

Except for the ridiculous physical toll it takes on the performers I would agree with you.

Oilers trade Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner.

That makes the Eberle trade look a little worse.

Just because the tickets are free doesn't make it a free evening and turning one down doesn't make him less of a fan than you are.

No because you missed the point completely. You are seeing what you want to see. Flyers had 2 counts of bad luck. The goal that was called off and the Elliot injury.

If Elliot doesnt get hurt, they dont score that 2nd goal.

Without that 2nd goal they dont get an empty netter.

Its not a difficult concept.

- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Do you ever know what you’re talking about? I’m seeing what I want to see? This post is The equivalent of putting words in someone’s mouth.

Elliott did get hurt. Elliott also allowed that first goal. The only goal we were able to put in the back of their Net was disallowed. Non-factor.

You can’t cry if the team couldn’t rally for the rest of the game When we had a disallowed goal early in the first period.

You can’t be serious with this post. Like, what you just wrote isn’t even logical thinking. You might as well have said, “if that goal counted, Elliott probably doesn’t get hurt later in the game”, which is nothing more then a fantasy to think about...

The definition of a sport is: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature

It doesnt fit that to me. Its no more a sport than any Drama on TV. Something that is predetermined cant be considered competitive either.

How do the Oilers at one time have a young core of Hall, McDavid, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakopov all under contract, all under your control and come up with nothing. Think about that. I get that Hall and McDavid never played together. I get that Yakopov never became anything. The problem is, you have half of these players for nothing and took major steps back when that team looked like they were on the brink of becoming a power house. They essentially traded Hall for Lucic.

All I am trying to say is that without the poop luck of having your goalie hurt and a goal disallowed this is a 1-1 game and we have the chance to come out with the W. It isnt what happened but there is no reason to be upset with the team after that game. They played well and it could have easily gone their way. They did beat Kinkaid 5 times but hit post instead. Its frustrating that they lost because they should have won but making changes to the roster and management isnt going improve their luck in those situations. They are in control off how they play, if the bounces go their way great, if not, all you can do is keep pushing.

This is a good example of why trading isnt always a good thing. GM went and traded all their pieces away. could you imagine that forward core today if it was still together?

Hall - McDavid - Eberle
? -RNH - Draisaitl

You gotta fight for your right, or something. That's why the Flyers don't have any rights.

I think Kinkaid settled in. I don’t take the disallowed goal or the injury into account because I feel they’re no factors. You’re right though, we do have to keep pushing along. I don’t have a problem with this point of view. We have to rally. If the disallowed goal or the injury got into the players heads, that weak.
