As a percentage of Comcast Corp's revenue and profit the Flyers organization is a rounding error, even in the best of times.

Who should care are the people in charge of the Flyers organization.

Everything I’ve read and having watched him I think he’s a generational player.

Guy just straight embarrasses himself here every day. No self-respect at all.

Back to blabbing his mouth again after the JG thing... shameless. 🤡

If they bring in a billion hot dogs, they still have to move as many hot dogs as possible every night.
- SuperSchennBros

If they sell a million hot dogs a night great…
They’ll take it.

If they can sell 10million hot dogs in one fell swoop even better

They didn't make $5B during Covid.





Playing to little/no fans not only killed gate revenues, but sponsorships and ad buys also down.

If a team sucks, and fans stay home, it's gonna hit them in gate revenues and corporate revenues.

- Tomahawk



Yes surely it will. Like I said the could not care less about the fans now.

Until it hits a critical mass.

That’s when they’ll sell.

If it gets to that point

Maybe. But I see him as more of a playmaker with his vision and passing skills.

Pronmans ranking, more raise than anyone from this years draft
1. Connor Bedard, C, Regina (WHL)

Bedard is the type of prospect you dream of being around when picking No. 1. He’s a game-breaker. Bedard has fantastic individual skill while also being exceptionally smart with the puck. He creates chances out of nothing for his teammates and shows elite ability to manipulate defenses. His shot is also truly elite and he’s a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone. Bedard lacks ideal NHL size, but he competes well and is a very good skater. He’s more quick than fast, but he can pull away from checks. He should tear up the WHL next season and be in the NHL shortly after scoring in bunches.

I don’t dispute any of that. He’s an incredible talent. I just think Matthews is incredible ++.

You're making yourself look like a clown by claiming that I defended the Ristolainen and Ellis trades. I have also never defended the hire of Fletcher. In fact as was adamantly against the firing of Hextall. You must be on drugs or badly confused

All you did was look at the rumors and take a stab at Giroux going to Ottawa. You were right but you did not have the inside info that you claimed to. When it comes to Gaudreau, you fabricated 90% of it and you know it. It's blatantly obvious.

- MJL


Everything he said was factual, they talked and said they’d fit him in.. until they couldn’t. The failed TK/Ottawa deal fell through and they had no back up plan.

Doesn’t mean they didn’t have something in place prior to the unforeseen Debrincat to Ottawa deal which was the wrench that was thrown into this mess.

How do I know, MJL? Because you know who’s alt this is - all I had to do was ask my dad.

You’re so far from insider information it’s hilarious to hear your fart out what I know to be completely wrong information.

And I know it kills you to be wrong about things 😂

Just because it didn’t happen doesn’t mean he was being untruthful about any info…

Remember? Ray Bourque to the Flyers E5!

Things change.

I actually wanted Ristolainen prior to trading for him. Nobody can defend the cost it took to get him. That’s a bad trade and I have no doubt Buffalo after the was made saw Fletcher as a sucker. Same with Nashville.

I don’t always agree with you but you’ve been consistent on the disagreement of firing hextall and changing course. You and I see it the same way on this.

The day hextall was fired I was surprised and very worried about the future Of the franchise. I didn’t think it was go time either, but Then I said give chuck a chance. In 2019 20. I happily said I think maybe I was wrong. The trades he made looked good.

Then disaster. 2 years of crap and now a disjointed offseason whereby they say one thing and do another. Even if hextall wasn’t the guy, it’s clear to me that chuck certainly isn’t and that the path he’s taken has set us back immensely. I hate seeing my favourite sports team in this state. It’s like we’re the mid 90s to 2000s islanders under milbury

Yes. Needs a lot of work on his play away from the puck but is a talented player.

You want to be my agent. Never mind. I’ll check these threads and all you weirdos would be badmouthing me. But I want #11. Cmon Fletch.

Well there’s some rumors that Liane is on the block now that Columbus got JG. He only has the one year on his deal so it shouldn’t cost the farm. He is young and you can build around him more than with anyone we have now…

I thought about this and than realized, I’m sure he wants nothing to do with Torts.
