Pretty simple. Don't stay stupid sh*t to women. Not all that hard.
- Flyfly

It’s not even about women. . JR is just an idiot. You can’t talk about coworkers like that.

I’ve told the story before and won’t get into it again but my best friend of 20 years has first hand experience with JR making pretty terrible decisions off the ice. Glad he’s in the Hall for his play but yeah… not really a fan of his otherwise.

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.”

- Flyfly

Completely incorrect. Lmmfao. Learn words and language. Where in that statement does it say she was OFFENDED? where in that statement does it even imply that she was OFFENDED. Now ask yourself and try to think logically if she was offended why would she still be close friends with him? Is it logical for any women who is offended that someone says they want to fuq her to not only NOT STILL BE FRIENDS with them but to flat out scream from the rooftops just how offended that are at the minimum and possibly even more?


Yeah she probably laughed her ass off listening to the interview. Jr wife tapped probably got drunk laughing to this day about it

Skinner is getting bought out by the Sabres. Discuss
- mickel25


The Sabres were paying Skinner $9 million a year, but last year they had him playing on the 4th line for a while. That's a lot of cash to play on the 4th line.

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.

- hereticpride

You don’t actually think I meant they’d fire her and give that as the reason why do you? Come on man be serious. They’d put a target on her back and get her or anyone for some other bs reason. That’s how companies get rid of employees that don’t toe the line. To ovoid lawsuits

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.

Now in your view, not only is Konecny preferable to Pasternak but he is now preferable to Marner?

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).
- jd250


In what case? Parroting what you heard about Utah? LOL. Which is the same thing that everyone else who follows the sport heard? You've been completely wrong about Frost and Farabee. You don't even have the common sense to realize that your recent statements concerning Farabee as a player are wrong. Let alone any hockey knowledge. You have to take a hit, daily on 98% or so of what you post. It's all an example of what you try to do. Infer and claim public information as your own and or claim that opinions that you've made, which are obviously wrong for anyone with any knowledge, are correct.

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?
- hereticpride


Pretty good observation. I couldn't even name one. I agree about the early rounds but I'm ok if they like a guy on day to take one.

Of course they went back to back goalies in round 2 last year so maybe it's an after thought.

Happy for Roenick, he is one of the best American born NHL players of all time and deserves to be there for his on ice play.

There’s a Russian that’s already 21 with a decent scouting report but he’s considered undersized at 6ft by today’s standards. Nabokov.

The few other reports I looked at all sound like long term projects with middling ceilings at best. I guess that’s most goalie prospects tho.

What can Utah give them now to help Toronto right away that they're willing to give up? Toronto will be foolish to trade Marner.

I don't see it. Marner is a better player.

Yeah, there's a lot of potential reasons. He's a phenomenal player, Marner, but they can't keep running back the same mix and expect different results. They need change. Kinda fun to see them fail every year though.

You heard this from me about 1 month ago. I told you all Utah's 6th pick is in play. Still the Flyers can't compete with Mitch Marner in an trade.
- jd250

I think TK gets you in the MM ballpark. Afterall didn't MM play with Mathews? TK played with a broken Couturier..

Ever since I accused you of “parroting” what you read on Twitter, ironically, you’ve used the word “parroting” almost every day. Pretty funny 😆

I have absolutely nothing to substantiate this but I sort of feel like if the Sens deal hasn’t gone down yet the Flyers must have different trades on the table depending on who is available when pick 7 comes up.

Would be a smart move on the Sens part to ask for more if a big name slides…

Sabres should be able to do almost whatever they want. After the Skinner buyout they will have $30mil in cap space, all of the big ticket players locked up and all of their picks.

The second Toronto trades Mitch Marner, not only will the Leafs get worse, Marner will get better. I’d run it back with Berube behind the bench.
