I'm on his no comment list.
Love that he has nothing to say to me because every
time he knows my hyperbolic and rhetorical thoughts kick his moronic self absorbed bile he spews.

im on the list and i love it. I comment to him, and he will answer but to someone else. Its quite comical.

but i can summarize all his posts...RR is mediocre, Chuck traded our future, ronnie was great. be critical of all chucks moves,....rinse and repeat

I wonder if he should go on the list, of those who never laced up? He never answered the other day.

Does this prove we do not have coaches that know what they are doing?

ill go further than laced up, try team sports, period. He doenst know the concept of a team, just individual stats. If a team is lacking physical, you get someone to do that, he doesnt see that. Only what stats say. The best part is he doesnt get it, doesnt even try to comprehend. He and ronnie are similar, smartest guy in the room

Mine started way back when Hakstool was here and he used to say coach has no ability to motivate players.

Now he says AV is a bad motivator.

Recently he didn't like my "opinion" that Frost may be a bust due to his shoulder situation.

Dude is a joke would love him to switch team boards and go bother others with his glorified pontifications on how brilliant a hockey mind he is.

I’m on the list. I guess it is posters that proved him wrong multiple times. It is easy to tell when he knows he is wrong. He tries to make it personal and will twist the premise over concentrating on a minute detail. Just ridiculous.

Last season's woes were due to lack of practice time. Now he's singing a new tune.

I get it, but 2 different skillsets and expectations. Ghost to Yandle would have been more appropriate. Comparisons are tough as you pointed out.

I would have had Jake at the top of doing best. He's still a good player. People just soured on him here because they want a shooter.

- rayc16



Honestly, going to that gutted team, I would not have been surprised if he had folded. He looked like a fading player to me when he was here. Good for him.

Looks like Willman and Lindblom switch spots tonight. That should jumpstart the offense

Belle are filling in as the 3 c for Tampa.


Another player I would’ve tried to get over Nate on day one.

I think based on Brent F's comments don't expect Frost anytime soon.
Kid still needs to figure it out. But over on Broad Street Hockey the did a nice piece on his play of late. Maybe some hope but still down the road for this kid but do not see it before the end of 2021...

No one has locked horns with MJL recently than I have but I try not to look at posters and look only at posts (not sure I manage but I try), and 2 things I would like to point out.

Up until recently, he would be fairly dismissive of analytics ("they only tell you what happened, not why it happened"). And he used to get flak for secretly working for the Flyers. He has gone from that to not even watching a game and saying he didn't need to because he had seen a player's stats. Even I wouldn't go that far And he is openly critical of the Flyers direction.

So, whatever else you may think of him, you cannot credibly say he is inflexible anymore.

I am not. It isnt like Bobby cant play. He was just past his expiration date is all. Not shocked by Ghost points wise. From all accounts he is playing very solid defensively.

I'll suspend for a minute. Proving me wrong or disagreeing with me has nothing to do with the list and who is on it. For example, you and I had two interactions today. One when you claimed what I said was hyperbole. Exploring that proved you to be wrong. Secondly when you mischaracterized a previous conversation we had and now I guess without any proof whatsoever, you are declaring that you proved me wrong.

I'll give you a hint. Look at who is in your company. It's not hard to figure out. Then again, looking at who's on the list, it might be.

Do your parents have a full or half bath in the basement? Still have the avocado color sink and toilet?

Love the list. Please post this list. Pretty Please. With a cherry on top.

That gutted team is one point ahead of his old team with the same amount of games played. I don't see them keeping it up but you can't make this stuff up. They were supposed to be the bottom of this division.

The ability to tank is always there.




Dave Scott can poke his nose in all of the business decisions he wants. The best way to have a profitable team is to build a quality team. Dave Scott has no clue about how to do that nor does he have experience in that area.
A restaurant owner most likely has experience in all facets of running a restaurant.
Dave Scott also doesn't own the "restaurant"

There you are again telling someone what they are like. Can I tell you what you are like?

- MJL


Not really. The proof is the Flyers profits and rise in franchise value during the years they were not a 'quality team'.

You mean for the 100th time? Handsome, charming, witty, clever ...and?

You are not accurate on many levels here. First of all I have watched every game with the exception of the 2nd and 3rd period of the games out west. Can't stay up that late.
Secondly, I have never been dismissive of analytics. I have been dismissive of those who in my opinion use them incorrectly. Analytics do a good job of telling you what happens in a game but they can't tell you why. That requires analysis. Team analytics are pretty straight forward as there is no false data there. I have been critical of the Flyers current direction which really proves that I'm not the rubber stamper of everything that the Flyers do. Which is what I've been accused of in the past. It shows that I'm objective and call it like I see it. Right or wrong.

Finally you and others really need to step back and realize how you've lost control. How you're posting about a person rather than their opinions or the sport of hockey.
