That one didn’t age as well.

Hey, when you actually voice opinions there is going to be plenty of opportunity to be wrong. Just like a player with the puck on their stick a lot is going to turn the puck over more than others. This is in far contrast to those who never state news, opinions or make any predictions, but instead just bash everyone else's opinion all the time.

Not that one .. no .. but at least I listen to everything about the Flyers, that is what real fans do.
- jd250


LOL, there is listening to everything about the Flyers and then there is listening and have it completely form your opinion every single day. Showing zero ability to think for yourself. That's what you, the real fan does.

And it's been this way since the 90's after Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas.

People have had 30-years to adjust.

Everybody is wrong sometimes. The issue is that you're wrong pretty much all the time.

If Utah wants to make a big splash the only player that would do that from the Flyers is TK, but again if its TK versus Marner, Utah would probably pick Marner, though I would pick TK. Now that the Senators traded their 25th pick, I doubt they will trade their 7th pick also, though they might swap picks with the Flyers if the Flyers were to throw in a player also. I don't want the Flyers to trade down, they are in a good spot to get a good player, but the Flyers need to move into the top 7 if they want to get a potential top pairing defenseman. I wonder now that Michkov is coming do the Flyers focus on getting a center with their 12th pick, like Helenius if he is there which according to some mock drafts he will be.

Exept once again in this case, right? Oh and in the case of Frost, Farabee, so on and so on. What is the record now, me:51, you: 2 (I have to take a hit for supporting Fletcher and I was happily wrong about Michkov).

Not sure we would draft any in the early rounds of this draft even if any were available but I’ve heard absolutely nothing about goalies this year? Weak goalie class?

I don’t think Ottawa is done. I honestly think they will be very busy and if the right guy is there for a trade they will pull the trigger on # 7 as well.
I love TK….but I’d take Marner. I agree on the Moving down…but that depends on DBs board I guess….I really think this is a week where by he might be able to get something large done, beyond the MM news that has me somewhat excited to watch the kid sooner rather then later.

As far as i know she never stood up for JR
- WhiskeyMan

She did. She told them it didn’t bother her at all. They made her make statement discussing the jr stuff to back nbc firing because metoo bs. She never once said she was offended. And is still good friends with jr. That’s the telling thing

Let’s hope his plane doesn’t mysteriously fall out of the sky.

On the topic of JR getting the HOF nod, wanted to share a quick fun story from when I was a kid.

When me and my dad would go to games when I was a kid, we always would go early to sit close and watch the warm-ups. And I remember one time, I was probably 10-11 years old, I made a sign "Let's go Flyers, can I have a puck?"

I held it up during warm-ups and JR immediately skated over when he saw it and tossed my dad the puck to give to me.

Small memory, but still always remember it. JR always struck me as a good dude.

Not sure if he'll ever see this, but if he does, thanks JR for making a young hockey fan's day and giving him a memory.

Yeah it’s said to be a weaker goalie class. The strengths of this class are defense and wing.

Completely incorrect:


“While Jeremy and I continue to be good friends, what he said was unacceptable, especially among workplace colleagues,” she said via NBC Sports PR, according to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal. “I do not condone his comments.”

Exactly. “We are still good friends” the rest is pr bs for nubs and metoo bs. Had she not gone along with statement she probably would’ve been fired too. Most likely jr told her go ahead don’t want her to get fired too.

That was my thought too. THAT would be the basis for a hockey trade. Necas a little younger, TK a more gritty proven scorer. And then an 8 year contract to Necas would not only be a little cheaper, but would be more acceptable given his age.
- mikeyo27

I do that trade in a heartbeat. Love necas. He’s not even at ceiling yet

Yeah, you could be at a bar on a Saturday with friends and say something inappropriate and if a coworker happened to also be there with a separate party and overheard your comment, they can report you to HR and you can face repercussions.

Outside of criminal activity that’s bs.

That’s why ownership was the way to go for me….

Then again you always had to know your surroundings and who was there. I loved to joke as much as the next guy….but I don’t think I ever came close to crossing a line…at least I’d like to think that.

- landros 2

That’s the thing … the line as defined by you means nothing. All someone has to do is say I’m offended and boom. You’re toast. It’s bs

Why are you making up complete bs. No one in their right mind would fire her Do you have any idea the kind of lawsuit that would open NBC up to?

Some of you guys are in dire need of basic HR training I swear.
