If the grit don’t fit, you must acquit

But what about the father's primary concern, the quality of the photo?

For every extended bout there are 100's that resolve more quickly...drugs that help are available, believe me I've dealt with migraines personally

What does that have to do with NoPa?

We arent talking a break or something with a typically consistent healing time. Brain issues vary with people.

I once had a concussion and felt better in 3 days.

Clearly, all of these athletes who are out for longer are milking it because I've dealt with a concussion personally.

See, I can sound ignorant too.

Not what I said, I never thought he was a malingerer...stop looking to argue with anyone who would listen. I wanted to know if there was any improvement, and I've gotten no answer to that question. Clearly if he continues to suffer he won't and can't play. BTW...apparently you have no problem sounding ignorant you are doing a great job of it

Ignorant means uninformed. You insinuated that, since you dealt with migraines, that NoPa's migraines should follow suit. As Opeth just pointed out, brain issues vary wildly from person to person. Just because your migraines didn't persist, NoPa's may be far more serious and recurring than yours. So yes, I found your post to be quite uninformed.

The guy should be banned from all Flyers events and games at the WFC.

You know all those percentages for treatments that work...as someone who still deals with bouts of migraines, sure I wish and hope to be on the good side of the percentage. That’s just it, the percentage is there because they don’t work for everyone.

I just hope with patience they find what works for Patrick. He is young and all his natural hockey abilities will still be there whenever that is.

Agreed. He's brought shame to Gritty's long history of benevolence and peacefulness.

That's the thing: you can have 100,000 people who respond well to treatments for every 1 that doesn't...but that still leaves that small percentage that doesn't respond well. I've never had recurring migraines and hope I never do, and hope you (and Patrick) can find a new treatment that works.

My point was that just because someone reacts one way to a brain issue doesn't mean that everyone else should have a similar reaction.

Anything less than a regulation win for the Flyers tonight will be extremely disappointing to me. No, I don’t think of it as an easy game. Just a game that is 100% winnable if they play to their ability.

Win it. Let’s go Flyers!

Do you have the one with his dance partner? I think it was 80s night.

I will settle for a flyers W tonight with a solid start and good play throughout the game. Lets not play down to opposition and make this a battle. GOAL GREED works for me as a 5-1 score would.

Sad news from Kazakhstan tonight. Vilen Prokofyev, the goaltender for Kazakhstan U18 and Snezhnye Barsy Astana, passed away after a four month battle with Ewing's sarcoma, a form of cancer.

Kovalchuk to be on the block for the TDL. Depending on the price Flyers should explore it. Pageau has been linked to the Isles. Toffoli linked to the Flames as per TSN
- xShoot4WarAmpsx

I would be in favorite of adding either guy, just so long as it doesn’t create a hole or hurt our roster, as well as the future.

Detroit tonight. New Jersey on Thursday. We should gain ground the next two games.

Going to the game tonight. These Flyers/Wings games haven’t been exciting within the last couple years...but I never miss.

Tonight will be the 10th game Ghost will miss, so they could have put him on LTIR.

Sadly the same diagnosis Lindblom has. Hope he beats it.

No spoilers here, but just saw the last Star Wars movie.

It's been getting a lot of "meh" from people, but I thought it was good. I didn't really like Ep8, but I liked this almost as much as Ep7. Yeah, there were a few "Why didn't they just" or "How did that just happen?" moments, but I thought it was a nice ending overall.

By any chance did you also think Game of Thrones season 8 "wasn't that bad?"

He just looks off. I said it the other night. Almost lazy, but if there is one thing about G, he’s not lazy. Just looks exhausted.

It was much, much better than Ep8. But overall I thought Abrams did a solid job of wrapping up the trilogy. He really should have just done all 3 of them. I had very low expectations going into this one and left pleasantly surprised
