The Orioles are my other MLB team besides the Phils.

Full rebuild in progress with former Astros front office aces.

Hopefully it goes better than this team's rebuild.

I know. Baseball rebuilds are the worst though. They take like half a decade minimum.

The baseball team I follow just went full Holmgren. Traded for Kemp, Puig and Wood... Ugh. Only positive out of that trade was they unloaded Homer Bailey.

Perfect example of the team game the Flyers are playing. On one play, Sanheim is behind the Flyers net facing two Blues forecheckers. He make a great move and spins away from them and has literally no one to pass the puck to. So he has to rim it up the boards right to a Blue. Sanheim might've gotten charged with a give away there but it's undeserved. Blues are playing a much better team game with puck support and tight gaps and are controlling the neutral zone limiting the Flyers speed and making it easier for their defense to retrieve pucks. Which in turn limits the Flyers forecheck.

The studio was better with only MORGANTI and Boorude. Most guys will jump the plane if they share seats with that tool Barkscam.

I'm hoping for .500 in 2021.

Last season was amazing.

Raffl was on 4 different lines in 5 or 6 games
Let him stay together with Weise and Laughton for at least 5 games even if it is only 4th line minutes

- goenzoy


Yeah the excuse of poor play of player because he needs time to become BFFs with his linemates can be used only so much. Why has Raffl played well the last week then? Why did the 4th line play good against Calgary then? They are just having a terrible game.

I haven't seen Colby Cohen since the new year. I'm hoping he got shipped out.

Imagine a line of JvR-Schenn-Simmonds....thats a line that would make me want to put my hand in a blender
- Glak18

You guys are idiots. Schenn is playing with Tarasenko and that line has been creating offense all night.
