It's not hard to smack the beehive here. Just say ANYTHING positive and you will get the predictable reaction. - Phillywhiteout
Oh yeah. Unless you say, I hate everything about this team, they have no good players (MM doesn't count because he's wasted here and should have stayed in Russia), haven't been relevant since 1975, and hope they lose every game then you'll get a predictable reaction.
It would be ironic to see Torts leave the bench during the summer and bring in Mike Johnson if he gets removed by the Pens. With Johnson giving Torts a spot in the tournament, I can definitely seeing it happen

That's just continued hyperbole. It's pretty much a consensus that Konecny, Sanheim, Andrae, York etc are considered good players. Michkov is not wasted but the Flyers would've been better off if he had stayed in Russia longer. I think the relevance marker is 2010, not 1975.

Another brilliant comment outta you. What good would it be for Michkov to stay in Russia longer? He is plying his wares in the best league in the world and finding his way. Your comment makes ZERO sense. Keeping him over there would just delay the process.
Anyone seeing any drones? I saw them Sunday night over Hammonton, and then over my house last night.
It was a weird Close Encounters of the Third Kind like vibe. I saw three hovering in formation then they all spread out in different directions. - MBFlyerfan
Are we sure they are drones? Not asking to create controversy just legit trying to figure out what they are.

The Flyers are better than we thought? They have won 5 games in regulation out of 28 games. The lowest number of RW's in the league. They're mediocre offensively and poor defensively. They're not a good team. Why should they give up assets for Giroux? - MJL

Did you not say that Michkov should have stayed in Russia so as not to lose a year on his ELC? What about coming over to acclimate to the NHL game? What about considering global instability or concerns that geopolitics could have meant that all of a sudden, we couldn't get him over here at all? I know you love to criticize every little thing the org does, but this clearly wasn't a mistake to bring him over. Sometimes the comments I read on here are beyond absurd.

Absolute foolishness really. So he burns a year on the ELC. If he continues on this path we are going to have to pay him and I say great. I hope he evolves into a superstar and we have to pay him the league max.
I see complaints here that we don't have enough skilled players (with which I agree). Then, when we strike Gold and get one, it's oh God, now we'll have to pay them a year early.. how terrible.. another mess up by the Front office. They should have left him in the KHL..

I did but how does that mean that Michkov is wasted? He has put 25 points in his first 26 NHL games. Does it seem like he is having an issue acclimating? The geopolitical arguments are the same as when he was drafted. Unfounded. I've been a Flyers fan for a long time and a poster here since 2007. I have been on both sides of the fence. An adamant supporter of the team and a criticizer of the team. Their actions and performance is what determines where I stand. I didn't state that it was a mistake to bring him over. I said they would have been better off if he had stayed in Russia longer. I'd be happy to explain that to you if necessary. You haven't done a very good job of pointing out how comments are beyond absurd and you continually embellish the comments made with hyperbole.
