Well frost going to get his chance

THAT is a half-full glass attitude!

I love Frosty.

Next man up bruh.

Not at this time. If they consider themselves true contenders then they need to address the top 4.
- Striiker

Maybe not. So what another Justin Williams for Markov type trade? No thanks.

Respectfully, I do still think Bill, that the reaction was unfortunate and disproportionate to the offense. I do see greater echoes of privilege than you do, beyond just this good-hearted dude who speaks his mind.

The arrogance and ignorance here is alarming. This is not the statement of a sound mind.

There is a need for a top 4 defenseman. That hole isn’t going to be filled internally. It needs to be addressed at some point.

I disagree that it can't be filled internally.

Yes, more significant than a personal kerfuffle then. Linux was so much in the public interest, and had such utilitarian aspects being open source. Linus T is kinda playing Robin Hood.

the dude is pretty much the head/face of the linux community it's definitely personal
who's to say Jake wasn't standing up for the team?

This Jake thing is such a non issue. Was there uproar when the nfl player said (frank) on Nickelodeon? Is there uproar when hot mics pick up players on the ice cursing? Has anyone ever turned on a television? My god this world is so over the top sensitive if people are up in arms over something like this.

Anyway, awesome to see them get off to a hot start. It’s critical in a shortened season so let’s see how they fare in the next couple.

Voracek is in trouble. PT21 is going to write a letter to the Flyers and the NHL asking for punitive action for Voracek. Wait until he tells them he's an expert on this and has taught numerous classes.

not just a letter.

a strongly worded letter.




P.S. I hope everyone has been well and had the best holidays possible under the circumstances.

Fair enough.

uh oh maybe carson will call the reporter a weasel

A) No update yet on Couturier. He had an MRI today. Request was made for an update from Chuck Fletcher.

B0 Updated on what, specifically?
- bmeltzer

Thanks

General flyers stuff, but more specifically status of injuries. In this case Fletcher announced it, and who publishes (the quickest). I was surfacing the inter for Coots news. Don’t see anything. I don’t have tweeter but my son said it popped up on tweeter. Do I need to get tweeter...

Couturier out minimum 2 weeks.

Just go to Bill’s Twitter feed....if he doesn’t report it first he re-tweets it . You think he keeps us up to date here, his Twitter feed is even better.

Just put Bill meltzer Twitter in address at top of internet connection.

When Gostisbehere returns, he will slot in and we'll see how he does. If he doesn't hack it then they can try Myers or Sanheim. Flyers also have defenseman in the pipeline. Obtaining a top pairing defenseman at this point in time is unlikely and cost prohibitive.
- MJL

Ok, fair enough. I hope he does, but I doubt Ghost ability to be a line #1. I believe at best he’s great on PP and good for limited line #3 minutes.

I’m willing to see some struggles during the year with the current crew. Let AV move things around. I am interested to see what York could do.

What I’m not ok with, if the weak defense causes too many losses. I assume there going to get into the playoffs - I don’t believe the current group (including Ghost) would go far in the playoffs. I think the pipeline is good, but none are going to be ready for the playoffs.

There was this part of it that also bothered me. Would he also use that language in a NHLPA conference call? With Dave Scott? I guarantee you he has a filter.

Without getting into justifying whether Sielski was accurate or not or what his motives were, the fact that this occurred a year after incident, and was unprovoked, and in a forum which is public and televised, and unequal in the sense that athletes can say what they like and get the wrist-slap of a fine while journos would lose their job if they retaliated in kind makes me believe that Jake was, at least subconsciously, both enacting revenge and pulling rank.

That, and the unprofessionalism, does bother me. I hope he gets a good hard fine. And sure, I am not personally bothered by the language.

Having watched this dude for a long time, I think he is a very good guy, and has great skills in some parts of his play, but I also think there is not much between his ears. Dude is as dumb as a post.

You are such a wussy it’s not even funny.

York could potentially join the team after his NCAA season but I wouldn't rely on him as a top pairing player right away.

I was not trolling, in case you are referring to me. I was quite serious. If I feel sufficiently serious about it tomorrow (unlikely), I will write a latter to the Flyers and the NHL asking for punitive action.
- PT21

What is a "latter"?

- Striiker

Av didn't have ghost on the top pairing for poops and giggles. He doesn't do things he doesn't believe in. And then I fully expect York to be on the flyers after Michigan's season (they are a favorite to win the frozen four). We have plenty of options going forward.

Sanheim provy myers are locked then you have ghost Braun hagg ghost friedman York zamula

If you trade for a top 4 with term you are taking away roster positions for guys like zamula York AND you have to protect them in the expansion draft leaving one our prized forwards like lindblom exposed. No thanks.

If you trade for someone like Savard are they really a major upgrade? Hes not significantly better than Braun. Better. But not significantly.

If this were anyone else I would think it was a joke.

I just ran the press conference and context by my wife, who is not offended at all, and found Jake funny. And she is highly sensitive to such power plays.

I feel so alone in this world, and so misunderstood. Thank god there is warm soy milk for me to drink.
- PT21

Considering all that's going on in this world that is worthy of outrage... I think Jake being mean to a reporter and using dirty words is pretty far down the list.

Not if you're offended as easily as half this board

I’m gonna need an explanation. The Penguins have a recent culture of winning. We haven’t in awhile, along with being a bubble playoff team. So how is it we didn’t look right, especially when we shot ourselves to the top in a round robin. So what do the Flyers normally look like?
- SuperSchennBros

Flyers usually look better than a bunch of strangers who just stepped on to the ice together for the first time... which is how bad their team structure has looked since the first R2P.
