I will suspend ignoring you for just this once. You can change your screen name from Black Francis to anti-lame to try and escape the label of a fool but you will still be a fool. The discussion was on why Poehling had 18 minutes of ES ice time to 11 minutes to Frost. The player that is more highly skilled than Poehling is Frost, not Laughton.
You also don't have a clue of my opinon of Myers. You can't do this because you're an idiot. End of story.

Here is the exchange. Not one mention of Frost - but nice try

True but I trust Poehling more than Laughton to do anything offensively. It's not saying much but Scotty is irrelevant and has about zero impact on the game.
- Pelle31Forever


I understand that Laughton has not had a great season offensively but what has Poehling done offensively in his career? He has a career high 17 points in the NHL. Scott Laughton has been a big part of the Flyers PK which is a big reason for the Flyers improvement this season.
- MJL


I'm just looking at it from Poehling's time here with the Flyers. I understand it might be splitting hairs but Poehling's 18 minutes to Laughton's 10 or 12 is about the 50th thing I care about concerning this team.
- Pelle31Forever


It ranks much higher up for me. It's the most current and recent example of how Tortorella loves to overplay lower skilled grinders over certain type of players with a much higher talent and skill level. It's part of why the Flyers are going no where under Tortorella.

So I thought Drysdale was quiet tonight. I didn't notice him much.

Zamula was on PP1...Drysdale was on pp2

I am inserting my finger in my cheek and making a popping sound! Farabee is nothing special. You like him because Hextall drafted him, just be honest, we all know it.
- jd250


Ok now I figured out why you hate Frost and now Farabee...because those were the draft picks they got in the Schenn trade.

Let me guess you're one those "hold a grudge" people because one of your favorites got traded?

Yeah, so true. That's why he has the second most wins (behind Lavy) by an American born coach in the NHL.

He's taken one team past the 2nd round of the playoffs in his last 16 seasons as a head coach.

Lol I’ll give you some time to collect yourself after you read what you wrote the other day.

Lol it was about Frost? Show me where haha!

I had to look it up, Black Francis is the lead singer of the pixies?

Oh and you said the flyers were dumb to trade Myers and he’s a d-man you keep as apart of your core and that it was the flyers fault for not developing him.

Is it also Nashville and Tampas fault for not developing him? Maybe he’s just not that good, which we repeatedly explained to you.

You have a complete inability to assess anything in the sport of hockey lol

The key is different kinds of players. Poehling and Laughton are grinders while Frost is a finesse offensive player. He is the type of player that Tortorella doesn't like referenced. Frost is the certain type of player that Tortorella does not like and the player I'm referencing as the higher skilled player type that Tortorella doesn't like. Consistent with my criticism of Tortorella. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

100% false. You're a moron and I've given you more time than I should've. Post away to your hearts content.

Lol for two days straight you kept telling us about 29 year old Laughtons career numbers vs 25 year old Poehlings numbers - don’t remember that eh? Its fine, I like watching you squirm lol

And you can deny your stance on Myers but we were all here for that embarrassment - again, nice try

If you’re going to regularly call people out for their opinions the least you can do is own up to your own failed assessments.

It’s public record lol

Nah .. Frost has to go, its best for him and the team. He is what he is, and IMO he's not good enough to be a real top 6 forward.
- jd250


The numbers, especially relative to TOI, say otherwise. But you've been wrong about him since day one and stubbornly cling to it. How many other playmaking centers do the Flyers have at the NHL level? Zero. How many likely NHL playmaking centers -- not wingers, who played some center at lower levels, but ones who will play center at the NHL level -- do they have presently in the farm system. None on the horizon.

If Tortorella doesn't like it, his bosses need to tell him, "Too bad -- make it work. You've already devalued too many players here."
