This is not fair at all. I never said anything about Brink before the tournament started because honestly, other than highlights I never watched him play live. I have watched every game so far and this is just my observation. As I have stated I hope I am wrong, but I have seen enough of these types of players in the past and though he DOES have heart and a good IQ, it takes much more than that to make it at the NHL level. He can get by now but you look at his skating and its just atrocious. You seem to be someone that knows his stuff about hockey; can you honestly say in your heart that this kid can make it in the NHL with the way that he is currently skating?

Also, you say I am pessimistic yet you conveniently leave out the other half of my post where I am very bullish on Foerster making the team right out of camp. hat seems pretty disingenuous on your part! I just say what I think. Its true that sometimes I am pessimistic but I try to be honest. For example my take on Patrick, in my heart I really want the kid to make it and be the gold standard for that draft, but I have seen his type of injury too much now so that I know better. Again, I will be very, very happy if I am wrong. I want the Flyers to win more than anyone, and I am not even from Philly. But when I see things like putting Morin at forward, or counting on Patrick to play an entire season and double his goal production, or Brink will somehow make the NHL with the way he skates, I just have to state my opinion.

Your allowed to have an opinion, sometimes it may come off as pessimistic ? So what ....this team has had no real success in the last decade. This sight is for expressing your opinions on all things Flyers (and some other current affairs, hockey or not). I think Brink does have some work to do, but there’s time with him. Foerester is another project in my view, but I’ll take former hall of farmer the Late Dale Hawechuks word that this kid is special and has a NHL career in his future.

Btw, I have often (idly and mildly) wondered... are you German? Or are you really Swedish (I assumed the location is an Oskar tribute)?

I am guessing you are from that part of the world from little ways of phrasing your sentences.

Btw, read Financial Times especially. Read the Economist. Read BBC. Globe and Mail is pretty good as is Times of London.

Overlook the opinions of WSJ, NYT, WAPo, Guardian and read the coverage.

Why waste time on CNN and Fox and MSNBC?

I read the globe and mail daily and now read Bloomberg daily since my recent retirement....and of course the sports sites, like the athletic.

I’m a political junky I guess....I like watching both sides of the spectrum and then form my own opinion. I don’t like opinions rammed down my throat, I would like to think I’m smart enough to form my own.

Imho, CNN and all these tv shows are just a complete, complete, waste of time. They pander to their own audiences based on commercial reasons. Its much faster to read than listen anyway. So many good news sites now available via the Internet.

That drive was all him. Great throws. Couldn't believe JAW made that catch. Those clutch passes opened up the running lane.

Sorry, the courts thought otherwise.

(but they're all part of the conspiracy tho, right?)

Fraud was proven in many states. Just isn’t large amounts. It’s the violation of the constitution that’s the issue

I remember that bigheaded Olbermann on CNBC. Big tool yes, but more nuanced than that trailer park tool Hannity.

Random, isolated instances of "fraud" here and there are present in every election in recorded history. Please note that there are instances of fraud by Trump supporters right here in PA, leading to indictment:

https://www.forbes.com/si...ers-name/?sh=53034f0759bf

There is no evidence whatsoever of any conspiracy 86 judges: liberal, conservative, and centrist have refused to hear, dismissed or rejected cases.

And NewsMax has now retracted its claims about voting machines being tampered with to alter outcome:

https://www.newsmax.com/u...on/2020/12/19/id/1002355/

In other words, there is as much evidence of rigging, large or small, as there is of referee bias against Flyers in playoffs.

So, cut the crap. Its long,long past time.

When somebody told me CNN had taken him off the air, I could not help but ask if anyone knew the length of his suspension.
