Oskars is Latvian.

Sushko is a good north-south skater. Has had some consistency issues, dating back to junior hockey, but has the potential to be a decent bottom six player; more likely 4th line than 3rd. Wasn't great in first 3 Phantoms games this season but has been playing all season (except for during COVID outbreak on his KHL team some months ago) and is in good shape.

been skating and in good shape, seems like good things to look for in the current situation.

Here in NYC, I usually hear the Rags fans running their mouths about beating the Flyers, but they have been quiet and concerned with the recent poor play of the Rags. Even though the Flyers will be putting out an AHL type team tonight, the Rags fans are worried. As somebody previously mentioned, I expect the AHL guys to give a good effort. Hopefully that boost of energy gets the Flyers going from the drop of the puck?

Good luck to everybody with the snow storms. Getting another 8" of snow here in NYC. Everybody was stocking up on bread, milk, etc. I hit the store and stocked up on the essentials--Beer and Jack Daniels. I guess that may explain some of my crazy posts? LOL Stay Safe everybody!

Oh my God this thread needs Mods.

Other than myself, thx.

I hate to cavil and carp, but your typo of using inciteful when you meant insightful conveyed the exact opposite of what you meant to.

Hahaha! Right you are, sir.
That's what I get for posting while I should be working.

What I don't get is, if Wentz did not want to be traded to Chicago, what leverage did he have to prevent it? Since when do NFL players get to dictate where they are traded?

I assume that it means Chicago did not want a trade for someone who clearly did not want to be there.

Not only did CW play horribly, he was sanctimonious and 2 faced, and screwed the return of the franchise that gave him a break and a huge contract.

There are mechanics in CW's play that make me believe he is heading the Ryan Leaf rather than Drew Brees way. In the meantime, I deeply regret that guys like Andre and Wes are gone, and Carson will not play them when he plays us.

Two faced, Ryan Leaf, screwed the franchise? You know all this how ?

Yo, my man.

Just curious. This blog has suffered a huge brain drain the past decade or so. I can name a large # of intelligent posters who have left or post rarely.

Off the top of my head: JSaq, His brother in law #21, Tangent Man, Butsy, Mr. Buzzcut, NastyFlyersGirl, Hammerby31, MayorofAngryTown, Moanoke, FlySkippy, ForeverFlyers (posts much less), BardelyC4, Exlund, and many others.

Same thing in your neck of the woods? Or me just getting old and cranky?

I disagree. The Eagles with their management screwed Wentz over. Their lack of putting quality talent around him was a major cause of his poor play. He has played at an MVP level in the past and threw for over 4,000 yards with a crap receiving core. Then they draft Hurtz with a 2nd round pick. His discontent was warranted.

When will you realize that being called stupid by you is a compliment? Just too dumb to realize it I guess.

Wentz was overrated. If it wasn’t for Foles they wouldn’t have been champions. Every quarterback gets replaced sooner or later and yes by the backup. He is no Marino

I don't think it's a question of being overrated. That season he was the front runner for the league MVP before getting hurt. Name me one really good QB who didn't have a stable of weapons to throw to? Who was the best WR that Wentz played with.

They all left because of MJL? I find this hard to believe. They were all there for years while he was there.

Indeed the only time I have ever been threatened with a ban was in defending him and asking why he was banned.

That was in 2009.

You have improved tremendously. There was a time when I was legit worried about you. The ranting on and on about filling up the hospital beds with players of teams we faced.

What changed? The Taiwanese tea eggs as a daily staple and the person providing it?

Unpopular opinion but I agree. No none looks at the circumstance of Wentz’s downfall. Every move, everything went right to win the super bowl. Almost every move and everything went wrong after, terrible management

It would be pretty wild if the birds drafted Trey Lance at 6. QB from North Dakota St., just like Wentz.

You know for being someone who you claim you ignore, you sure post references to me enough. I speak directly to you. Man to man electronically but then again, I'm not a coward.
