I should have stated Long Term IR.. that game with getting space still goes on correct-not that Fletcher seems inclined or able to use it as of now?

He should stay home and make more babies and get out of our misery....and let his wife be the only way he gets groin injuries

- RajaAmpat


I would suggest that you research what LTIR actually is. That is not currently available to the Flyers. The Flyers currently have 14.6M of available cap space.

I tried the first one. The musics not terrible. The lyrics seem forced. What it boils down to with a lot of the new music is there’s not enough drugs in it. Where are the metaphors

We have Kings X mention!

One of the most incredible music moments I’ve ever witnessed is to see King’s X do Goldilox at the stone pony and the crowd sang all the vocals and it was loud.
Various clips from other venues on You Tube.

I came of age in the 90's.

I'd rather suffer through Ariana Grande or Drake than Pearl Jam.

Ten is simply a masterpiece

Not referring to you but that's how I felt about scorachek. So undeserved.

JC. I’m half paying attention but I believe I just watched Michigan state tie this game after being down 7-3 with about 5 minutes left

Edit- down 7-4 with 5 left

Not one to normally quote my own post but I ran across this quote from Gordon and it echoes some of the same thought I have.

"When you do the right things, you work hard, you compete and you battle, you get a lot of confidence because you know you put in the time, the work, the effort, to be successful.

When a player is not playing well, he tries to play a little more on the perimeter, tries to be open where nobody sees him laying in the weeds, standing behind the net when he needs to get above the puck. There's so much value in being able to have a presence through the middle of the ice and the effort that is exerted to get there. Sometimes it doesn't show you the necessary offensive results, but it puts you in good position to be able to stop the opposition from going on the attack.

So instead of … maybe it's a chip out, maybe it's a turnover that you create by working to get to the middle of the ice as oppose to standing behind the net or standing in the weak-side corner and then all of a sudden you're on a 200-foot backcheck and you're getting scored against and you're losing confidence. 'Why am I getting scored against?'

He says all the right things. Question is if/when the players buy into it.

It seems obvious that playing defense is the simplest way to stay competitive in a game but maybe they've had so much success scoring that they now automatically rely on offense for that competitive drive and are lost when they don't see the results. Wait that's what he said 😆

Spiritualized.... Pure Phase.....basically the entire album is about doing one type of drug or another.......my favorite song on the cd is " let it flow" give it a listen

They were a top 10 defensive team at 5 on 5 last season when they finished 3rd in the Metro.
