Are you serious? Ovie by then would have spent 15 years in DC, and he wouldn't know what that flag represented?

I have a picture of me by a tree and another where I am not by a tree. Does the second mean I am anti-tree? Does the first one mean I am pro-tree?

Assumption is the biggest part of this so-called controversy. I didn't bring this news to this website about hockey, I am just discussing it. The assumption is the evil part. I don't know Provorov or what he hates or doesn't hate. The biggest issue is there are some people who just can't seem to understand that not supporting something in a public space is not the same as hating. That's called freedom of expression.

Not everyone supports polygamy, but that doesn't mean they hate Mormons.

The people who are actually making a big deal out of it are the ones spreading the hate by accusing others of hating. It's a bad cycle that is ripping our society apart. When someone has to force their belief on to others then they obviously don't have enough conviction in their own.

It's pretty amazing that some are claiming to stand for anti-discrimination by discriminating someone.

You have to believe as they do. If you don't, then you get labeled.

A little time has now passed….a few people from the Gay community have spoken up to some what defend Provy’s stance. Their point of view is simple ….”if you don’t mean it, then don’t do it”. I really respect that point of view. I don’t have to like what he did, especially when it involved so many youth that I am all for showing support for.,,,but I’ll say it again, Provy doesn’t have to prove to me as a fan that he’s a decent human….my support starts and ends with him on the Flyers.

Good I'm glad Torts is supporting and respecting Provorov's decision/beliefs...that's called being a good human.

I don't always agree with Aaron. I personally didn't care for the guy a few months ago and I didn't agree with his decisions. It was just not a battle I wanted to fight, so I took a hike.

But I see a dude trying, I am aware of the severe limitations of this site, and effort and sincerity go a long way in my book.

In other words, pm me if you wanna continue this. I am not going to be baited.

How is your daughter doing in old blighty?

No. The worst position in the NHL to be in is at the bottom, drafting high year after year and yet missing the playoffs for a decade or more, all the while..

As for the Flyers, the answer is "I don't know". Even without Couturier and Atkinson, I think they presently have 9 bonafide top 9 forwards in their top 9. The issue is not having much by way of proven top 6. Two good young goalies. Five bonafide top 6 NHL defensemen and serviceable No. 7 currently slotted 6th. Decent farm system depth but no likely superstars.

Lots of cap mess to sort out. Still have to figure out hockey ops beyond this season.

Is it an ideal spot? Far from it. But it's not unfixable in a shorter time than a total tear-down, total rebuild project.

So if that 2024 Florida pick is top 10 it kicks to 2025…..is THAT ONE top 10 protected as well?

Maybe that’s our shot at a number 1 pick?

It’s not a bait….I don’t get in to that. It’s simple a statement. Oh and my daughter is doing great, was home for holidays and now back at it…thx for asking.

Whatever became of Jeremy Bracco and Wade Ellison the two guys the Flyers drafted with the two 2nd round picks obtained from the Hawks in the Kimmo Timonen trade?

I know you didn't mean to trick me, but I said I was done discussing Provy and that stuff here.

Good to hear about your daughter. Terrible time for the NHS now. If she is interning, she would get a horrifying glimpse of the health care in the UK

Watching the presser now. John Tortorella handled the media about as professionally as a coach can. I’m gonna watch the Scott Laughton interview because it sounds like Laughton might have a gay family member or something.

The biggest thing I took from him, which didn't really hit me until he said it, was the fact that all the hate towards Provorov took away the most important thing...the event itself.

Others were involved because THEY chose to be involved and had a great time. That is what the event was meant to be.
