Hey, I tried to bring up the merits of "Sixteen Stone" by Bush last night and no one wanted to join in.

did the players come out to Machinehead?

i know its been used in the past

If I told you grass is green you would come up with some stupid arguement about kentucky blue grass, and yellow grass from dog pee.

... and you would argue it for 16 pages. Then tomorrow you will talk about how green the grass is today...
- youarewrong

My grass turns a yellow/brown in the winter, but it's green in the spring/summer. So I don't know what the hell color my grass is.

I don't think the Flyers have. For the past 3 years they've been coming out to an extended Du Hast intro.

ah good call

i know machinehead was used at one point... maybe for warmups back in the day

The discussion on Laughton was Hockey talk. The above is not about Hockey.
- MJL

He's right. It's one thing to have a healthy debate with your fellow posters, but your arogant and demeaning and completey dismissive of anything anyone else has to say.

I know at times I get the same way with you, but I try and keep an open mind and have no issue with anyone else here.

It probably was...right along with "Ready to Go" by Republica.

Back reading from page 4 onward... It's like eating pudding. I know it's bad for me but I keep consuming and consuming...

That means you have zoysia grass.

Pretty astute point.

Justin Bourne (ex-pro) described encountering this particular phenomenon during his time in pro training camps... the high draft picks are paraded down the primrose path, given all the breaks, advantages and time/attention from coaches/management. Lower-round picks and undrafted players can expect a much steeper climb, and most never even get a fair shot at the show.

We'd all like to believe that personnel decisions are made based on merit, but GMs' and scouts' careers live and die by those top-round picks... and since they're also the initial arbiters of if/when a prospect is ready or not, it's no wonder that most 1st-rounders get repeated shots at making the team that drafted them, and most don't have to wait long for that first shot. Even if they fail with their initial team, you can bet there are plenty of other GMs willing to take a chance on a former 1st-round pick across all leagues and levels.

If a 4th-round pick or an undrafted signess fails to make the show, nobody's going to get fired over that. And in most cases, those players are never heard from again.

Fan reactions mirror this kind of valuation... 1st-round picks are fawned over and are treated with the utmost of patience and optimism, while lower-tier prospects routinely get dismissed/pigeon-holed.

I personally believe that McGinn, Akeson, and Raffl are probably more 'ready' to take on the rigors of a full NHL season than Laughton... but we all know that Laughton will have to really fall on his face hard to not be the first youngster up for promotion based purely on draft-status.
- Tomahawk

I think there is definitely truth to that, but doesn't the fact that the Flyers gave Akeson a pro contract even as an undrafted player go against that status quo? I'm sure there are plenty of players who went undrafted and will never get a chance to prove they are capable of competing in the NHL, but that's why the NHL is considered the top league in the world. The system is far from perfect, but I feel right now, players who may have gone undrafted but had success in college competition are getting more opportunity to compete in the NHL.

I much preferred it when it was hockey and fun talk and not "Who can be the most correct, haughty, and aggrandize one's self while belittling those of differing opinions." It's one thing to correct errors and another to frame others' opinions as fact and attack them while crying when the same is done conversely.

I miss the days of the Buzzgates.

I'm off. Probably should have stayed away today. I feel like I've gone from face to heel.

I logged in just to quote this.

I want them to come out to the song that was the TUF theme song. Not sure who sings it.

Your gonna get hit, your gonna get knocked out...

did they play doop last night?

I want them to come back out to The Warrior's Call by Volbeat. I really thought that was a well-done intro, along with the 07/08 "Vengeance Now" 300 rip-off intro.

no the union got shut out...no dooping at PPL park

He's right. It's one thing to have a healthy debate with your fellow posters, but your arogant and demeaning and completey dismissive of anything anyone else has to say.

Exactly

- Crimsoninja

I think they did.

Does that make me a bad person if I dislike that the Flyers use the "Doop" song?

I would prefer they didn't use a song that was already being used by the local soccer team.
