A font of Calibri would be a good idea to tolerate the discussion here.

Is that the font you use when you want minorities to stay in their homes because they refuse to take a government-ordered jab?

Do you still believe that the unvaccinated should not be able to participate in daily activities like going to work? Eating out? Walking their dogs?

You continue to make a fool of yourself. If you look at the post, his comments are mixed into the quoted part, rather than below in his comments. Due to not formatting the post properly using the quote feature. Making it look like many of his comments, were made by me. A 3rd party reading the post, would know who said what. Keep on being you though.

Thank you for the clarification, o great one! I only pop on here occasionally while you make a fool out of yourself hours on end every day. I honestly love your stuff, as it is my entertainment on slow days. Keep up the insults and keep bashing anyone who dares to disagree with you. I have 2 words for you: Buffalo Sabres! Please start supporting them as they need more fans plus they are doing things that you would approve.

I don’t know how you can’t question Richards and Carter’s professionalism. Richards didn’t do well with the media. There was a line called the allegiant of Poon. Lavi had to introduced dry Island. There seem to be a split between the young kids and the veterans which led to Carter and Richard‘s getting traded and the Flyers getting the captain they really wanted in Chris Pronger.

Side note, and no joke. I went to a Columbus blue jackets game against the Flyers not long after Jeff Carter’s trade. The guy who lets the players in and out of the parking garage was telling me how much of a dog Carter was. I mean the guy sulked to about having to play there, even though he had Rick Nash on his roster.

Oh did we forget about Richards’ pill addiction that kept him from hockey. It isn’t a little interesting that Richards has nothing to do with hockey now? Most players stay employed whether it be a scouting, coaching or trying to get into management.

One would think with such little time available, you would make it worth more than with your juvenile and idiotic posts. It reveals your intelligence level and lack of ability to offer anything worthwhile to the board. The only people I insult are those that insult first. Such as what you routinely do. They get what they deserve. Now back to ignoring your dumb ass.

I didn't get this, I am afraid.

I was punning on font (vessel, as in baptism font) and Calibri (common name for many italian wine companies).

Speaking of vino, the wisdom up until a few years ago was that red wine, in moderation, was good for you. Now there is a huge consensus that alcohol(in any quantity, if taken frequently enough), is bad. Unambiguously bad. Smoking level bad. (A single flaw was discovered in the old studies. The people who left the studies from the alcohol drinkers group were not random as had been supposed. They had much poorer health than the other 2 groups, and if that poor health was included in study results and factored in to the health effects of alcohol, the results were reversed)

Ireland, of all countries, will have warning labels on all bottles sold from 2026 that state the linkage between cancer and contents of bottle. Thailand will to. And apparently there is a bill introduced in Canada parliament to same effect.

Otoh, being a Flyers fan is also likely bad for you. As is reading HB. And doing both, I am sure, exponentially hastens your demise. And even more exponentially: your wished for demise.

How exactly did EBPflyer insult you?

You’re a self-important d!ck with no connection to the team. Get a hobby.

Keep on believing what you spout. Go back to your rolodex and review everyone's posts...I'm sure you will find plenty where your were simply questioned and you were nice enough to reply with words such as fool, ass, etc. It's public record. No need for me to offer anything worthwhile since you always have everything covered before I am able to peruse the daily shenanigans on here. Keep up the great work!

Ilya Pautov just turned 18 and was a point per game player in the MHL. I wonder if those are considered bad stats for the MHL. Seems odd that he would last to.the 6th rd.

How does the USHL scoring leader last until the 5th round or whatever it was? What are his drawbacks?

Poor skater and this was his 2nd time thru the draft

Not considered bad but also nothing really all that special.

He had a couple of draft-eligible teammates who scored at roughly the same rate and they went undrafted.

I like Hatahway in all, but given the Flyers cap situation, Hathaway + Deslauriers + Johnson = 2.4M+1.75M+1M = 5.15M = a better player. Just saying.

Neither Carter or Richards had immaturity issues as Flyers. That's nonsense and not supported by the facts.
- MJL

Richards was an alcoholic and it ruined a promising career, but maturity issues? Nah!

Now for the facts. Mike Richards had an 11 year NHL career. He was a top player on the last Flyers team to make the Cup finals in 2010. He was a key player and a two time Stanley Cup winner with the LA Kings. He was a two time top 5 vote getter for the Selke trophy including finishing as the runner up in 2009. Where was this promising career ruined? His issue was that he got addicted to pain killers but that was into the tail end of his career.

Most of us are all on record as giving GMDB until this summer. Aside from not being able to seal a deal in trading up (not an easy task and happy he didn’t overpay just to do it) and the occasional rumor, is anyone confident that this team looks any different at the start of the year? At what point do the Flyers acknowledge that this most important summer has come and gone without making needed changes?

Even if Briere doesn’t make the team look “better” on paper, it is very much a disappointment that the team doesn’t look different. Briere is had to make moves or the offseason is a failure.

maybe the flyers vets do not have the value that you other seem to think they have.

the co-gm said they need to be blown away with an offer.

what's more likely, Laughton gets a contract ext next summer or is traded?

Mostly his choice, as he is just enjoying retirement, fishing and enjoying life. He doesn't need the NHL in his life.

Everything I have read is that he has no interet in returning to NA. He is plssed about watching Peterson play the playofs, was really homesick, and doesn't want to come back.

Briere is saying the same crap as Gauthier missing last year. This is not a good situation.
