I was doing the same and watching lots and I needed to check it. Watching it upsets my wife a lot too. She just can’t believe this is happening.

I guess no jets as it’s seen as a red line of sorts like the np fly zone.

I’ve thought about that as well. What would reason do. I liked a lot of what obama did but his inaction on crimea was an error. There’s an aversion to escalating which I understand but how far do you let it go? Bombing hospitals and shooting at nuclear power plants? History shows that you can’t let maniacs like this take over countries unchecked.

Absolutely. And in Syria. Without a doubt.

EDIT: I don't want to intrude on a game. We will catch up later on all this stuff. You take it easy.

Some more gems:

He talked about unfortunately that Hextall failed. He said the execution obviously failed under Hextall but in concept was the closest the Flyers ever been to being somewhat modern. He essentially eluded to Hextall being economically responsible in regards the cap & assets. He alluded to Hextall acquiring bad players but at least not paying an arm & leg to do so. He said for example he doubts Hextall would have traded nor signed Ristolainen for those prices if he was GM still.

He mentioned how Hextall shut out voices within the organization that quite frankly need be shut out. He said the Flyers are headed back if they weren’t already to the times of being fiscally irresponsible & aggressive like they were with Ristolainen.

He mentioned how the Flyers have people in their brain trust that still don’t truly understand the salary cap. When you make a horrible investment you’re married to it. You can’t just outspend in other areas to make up for it like you could 25+ years ago but some don’t seem to grasp that still. The unfortunate part of today’s NHL is that you can keep everybody. You have to make tough decisions & some times let go of players that you even like.

Wonderful

i forgot that was only the first period

The Flyers are truly ass backwards.

I'm waiting for JD250 to again tell us how the Flyers are playing better defensively with better structure and how Yeo has changed the culture on the team.

JD is a Dave Scott burner account

Well, I did say the over/under for Panthers goals tonight should be 5. Perhaps I should have aimed higher. Good crowd tonight. Must be mostly Flygirl fans. It appears that the team is really jacked up over that Risto signing!

Does anyone else spend a large part of the game wishing for different d-pairing combos to be tried? I recently received a note from one of my kid’s teachers. It went like this—your child is very delightful, intelligent but exasperatingly stubborn… This led to me giving the “when stubbornness becomes stupidity” talk. I feel Yeo needs to hear it too.

Tell me again why Florida needs Giroux???

I remember back when JD250 was salivating over Ekholm and he asked me who I'd rather have. I suggested Larsson and he told me that he stinks and he's a 3rd pair defenseman.

- MJL

Ah yes, well, I still would take Ekholm any day of the week, even over Ellis!

Stubbornness is a trait of all NHL coaches. The issue is when a coach is not a good coach. Yeo is not a good coach.

Well Ekholm would be actually playing.

If it makes you feel any better, Russia is basically losing on the ground.

Well, I was thinking today it felt like a 7-1 Florida win tonight, and so far its all proceeding as thought. I think overall the Flyers are playing better structurally, but as I stated today, its not about system at this point, its about talent and speed, which the Flyers have neither of. Case in point, TK whiffing on a grade A scoring chance just now!

Tell me again why Florida needs Giroux???

Well, someone should tell Lindholm that, who just got away with a bad boarding of G

Great example of poor talent right there, Farabee makes a nice steal and gives the puck to JVR who should have put that puck right on net with Bee driving the net, and instead holds the puck and tries to pass to Hayes, and turns the puck back over.

Any time you see the Flyers play a top team, you can see the HUGE difference between mediocre talent and top end talent. Florida has tons of it, the Flyers have none of it! the number 1 problem on this team.

The same thing is happening tonight that happened against Vegas. Only difference is that Hart hasn't been able to bail them out all game in this one. The bottom line is that your claims that the Flyers are playing better defensively and structurally. As well as Yeo changing the culture, in which you asininely blamed on Giroux, is complete nonsense.

That was bad

WHy no comments on the previous few pages that complete destroy everyone of your idiotic points about the chuck and the analytics department

Risto go earn your paycheck on this bum

G is a big part of the culture issues on this team, but its not his fault, its just his personality. G is the type of player that takes care of himself and leads by example, he does confront players, its just not his way. When other players come into the locker room and see the captain does not say anything, they will keep quiet also. That is the problem IMO with this team, as Yeo states, good teammates are very different than good guys.

That was bad

Geez. Looked like he hurt his knee too. That was ugly

Video? Stopped watching after first

Hope Laughts is OK, but that was an awesome hit by Lindholm.
