It was hyperbole.

You know. Rhetoric?

- DrMidnite


Yeah but hyperbole and an innocuous post with a metaphor gets you banned because speech is violence I guess so tread lightly lol.

Do you seriously take Wikipedia as gospel? It's open source and anybody can edit what it says.
- WhiskeyMan


And do you not realize anybody can put out anything they want at any time, anywhere on the internet in general?

Wikipedia also provides sources and disclaimers when none have been added.

Man, go take a peek at DeAngelo’s Wikipedia article and *just* read the Rangers section. Isn’t it possible that his MAGA bullpoop has nothing to do with it, and people don’t want a toxic racist bumhole on this team? Doesn’t this team already have enough internal struggles?

Wikipedia isn’t exactly the purveyor of unbiased truth and integrity. CF must have gone to the Bob Clarke school of GMing
When it comes to draft picks.

Anyone know anything about the flyers 3rd round pick?

He is from Jersey and he is a big player.

Leaning far left or leaning for right makes you the same amount of an idiot

Seems like a pretty good pick at that spot.

Agreed, but supporting the president at that time questioning lockdowns shouldn’t make you a pariah, just like supporting Biden and pro choice shouldn’t make you one now? Most people are in the middle, a little left or a little right, and condemning someone for an opinion or two they have is ridiculous. People seem to be really critical of others but rarely use that same degree of scrutiny on themselves.

I just don’t like it when one side tries to overthrow the government. Kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Do the Flyers employ any scouts outside of the US National Program?

Yeah, a lot of projections had him a bit higher. Some had him lower, but many had him higher than 69. Funny, both flyers picks so far are in line with where MacKenzie had them projected. Maybe that’s their draft strategy lol

Devils jump in draft order pushing Flyers to 5 and get Nemec. Lol
-Sinisalo4vr

So? So all of sudden Nemec is Cale Makar? Nemec to many was not even the best defenseman in this draft!

Perhaps the deficiencies in player development have them leaning into programs that help take care of some of that for them by building good habits when young.

Corp owned
Never adjusted to new nhl after first lockout

It’ll never change with this team until it dies.
By that I mean sold and complete House cleaning.

Funny thing is imangine the money they could make by just cleansing and rebirth. Fans would embrace it

- Stayin alive

I can't argue any of what you said it's a true. I feel like no matter who we draft there will be the curse and injury issues that haunt this franchise.
If we suck this year burn it down before the deadline and stock draft capital for next year's draft.
It's time to burn it down, Including the front office

How is a a 2nd, 3rd, 4th bad for a 27 year old RH D in his prime too much?

If it wasn't Tony D many would be applauding this move.

- hello it's me 2050

This should make it clear to everyone Ellis is done, at least for this coming season.

Cutter was projected by some to be a top three pick in the draft! This criticism is just over the top. What, now Fletcher should avoid the best player available in the draft because he played USA hockey??
