Provorov: We might not be the most skilled team but we'll be the most conditioned and the hardest to play against. We're working toward that. We all want to have a better season, as a team and individually

Take a look around us -- this thing is on fire -- what the (frank) do you expect me to do?

He didn't fight in any of his games plus the advisors think he needs more time to learn how to play flyer hockey, even though those advisors are retired and have no input on the team decisions

I'm in an argument.

Who would you rather have in their prime, MacKinnon or Ovechkin?

- DrMidnite


Ovechkin hands down. An elite scorer trumps a playmaker. The Caps won their Cup because Ovechkin bought into playing a two way game and everyone followed.

It’s Ovie, but mackinnon is definitely a goal scorer as well. Ovechkins goal scoring is unmatched.

They're going to need to be the most conditioned. With the amount of time they're going to spend defending.

I'd pick Nate, because his leadership and dedication are (frank)ing legendary, he sets the tone for that entire franchise:

Even though I defend Torts for his reasons on sending York down because the mental maturity aspect matters. I cannot defend the organization as a whole for their continued mixed messages to prospects.

https://www.nbcsports.com...r-cuts-puzzling-move-team

Lappy says York needs to make the safe play routinely.

Torts says York needs to push the envelope with breakouts and going on the attack, lead the offense.

This messaging is confusing, and it must be addressed.

- NC Flyers Fan


I can’t remember if it was Berube or Hanstol that once said defensemen should join the rush, not lead it. Whether or not you agree with this statement, why are we expecting this of York? Where do we believe York tops out offensively among the best offensive defensemen in the league?

more people are at this Sixers preseason game than will be at the home opener

We'll ignore the fact that when your Sixas sucked they couldn't even give tickets away to regular season games. Bunch of lemming frauds!

I like you and I am not picking a fight - I totally get his point following the conversation
- corduroy


If you wanna side with whatever Claudefather was saying, that’s perfectly fine. The problem is, he’s putting words in my mouth within his argument. I never said anything about when a deal should take place whether it be offseason or trade deadline. I also never stated anything indicating how important a third round pick would be but with this franchise giving away picks like party favors, a third might be pretty important. Now I’m reading multiple posts saying not just today but all summer that JvR has no value, can’t be moved, nobody wants him. All it took was MJL stepping in after a 3 week absence and voicing that JvR does have value if he can score at last season’s rate (no matter how big or small the return) before many abandoning this theory. To me, that’s funny.

I feel like I need to make this clear. I don’t care what we get for JvR because do you know what the true value of a JvR trade is? Cap space. Cap relief. Getting these deals off the books.

You must be an easily amused clown if you think that scrotum head is remotely funny. Looks good on you though. Perhaps you can co habitate under the same rock?

Nate is a great player but he needs a supporting cast much more than Ovie does. Ovie had Kuznetsov and team players. Look what Nate had. The year before Nate got frustrated and couldn’t carry with Kadri out.

To be fair, in context, I don’t think he meant York has to do that all the time. Rather I think Torts meant York can do this at will in situations that momentum has shifted and the team needs a boost. A real in-game difference maker.

I don’t think I can answer the rest. I am not sure of York’s ceiling.

I didn't miss the point at all douchebag. You make points about ignoring the Flyers, but the reality is that you're showing your loser fandom of the sucksers! You are a clown that can't hide behind the facade of the clown show that you are. Glad you can continue with your name calling and stalking. You're like a little girl that had her purse stolen. L O S E R!!!
