What is your definition of rich when you combine the household income of the parents? How much we talking?
- furio16


How about being able to invest upwards of 20,000 dollars a year on sometimes multiple children who play. If you can afford that, on top of all the expenses of life, I’d say you’re in a much different tax bracket than most people. Yeah, that’s rich enough for me bud. Any other questions?

Any name that is mentioned on this board true or not must have “the racist” at the end of that name.

From the current Chicago Free Agency blog - now this would be fun:


Seth Jones is traded at $2.0M retained to the Flyers for Ryan Ellis, either Emil Andrae or Bobby Brink, and 2024 1st.

What’s the feeling here? Do the Flyers get Gaudreau? If not, where are we seeing them go? Clearly, they refuse to go into sell mode.
- Flyers1218

Already explained. He has done deal with flyers. 100%. I’ll it my future swami predictions on it. Bet it all. All in.

I’m kinda curious what you’ll say when JG does NOT sign here. When he either signs with the flames or Devils.

Wondered over to FB last night and that's way worse than hockey buzz believe it or not.
- Phillywhiteout

The 'o' is nowhere near the 'a' on the keyboard, so no way this can be merely a typo, Slapnuts. Instead it's your pea-brained mind slip-sliding away, and this is proof that you should have your dom go a little bit more easier on you (also have an easier-to-remember safe word). Remember, you're paying her for the illusion of not being in control, but in fact you're the one really in charge. I think you tend to forget this with that micro-mind of yours.

Hmmmmm, no kidding. I really thought the Rags drafted him before the Flyers. Guess I'm thinking of someone else.

I find it hard to believe you're thinking at all.

Awwww, is the little boy's panties in a bunch again. Please answer me one question before I depart for the day(yeah, I have a life). Why do you keep engaging me on here? I don't like you and you don't like me. The problem for you is that I end up eating you alive cause you have the wit of a Jane Whither's chaser. I've talked to cadavers that are more interesting than you. Buh Bye loser. You have to be the dumbest phuck that I've ever had the displeasure to talk to on social media and that absolutely boggles the mind. Oh, thanks again!
- Phillywhiteout



IOW, please elaborate in detail on this. Do the cadavers ever talk back to you? "Thanks!"

TAD has 1 distinct skill I think that is better than Ghost's imo. He is a reader of developing plays and makes very good anticipatory passes. I have seen him do that many times.

I'm a druid! We worship trees and the trees are smarter than 99.9% of the politicians today! Thanks!

- Phillywhiteout

Do you talk to the trees like you talk to cadavers? Do they ever talk back?

I'm not sure if trees are smarter than humans—politicians or otherwise. But at least they're smart enough not to worship both humans and other trees.

Use Brave browser on desktop and mobile. Never see another ad again.
- Tomahawk

I still go uBlock Origin on top of (in place of) Brave's built-in ad blocker. The element picker/zapper works a lot better in case any customization is needed (and it will be needed because Brave's built-in ad blocker still lets some ads sneak through... on other sites, at least). Plus it's available as an add-on/extension for most browsers, so you don't have to switch the browser already being used.

Bill, the counter-factual, low-information reactions to your work in general (with the post you quoted being just the latest) often leave me smh. Yes, you are paid by the Flyers for some of what you write. Are you ever influenced by that to pull punches somewhat? Possibly, at least subconsciously. But personally, I think you offer terrific value and insight, so if you ever are holding back, I don't care.

Certainly, your post on the DeAngelo trade was not such a case. I think unless you had said flat out that you hate the trade and Fletcher should be fired, there is a significant segment of the fan base that would rain scorn down upon you, regardless of whether you raise the salient concerns (as you did in your piece) or not.

Having said all that, my gut reaction is that this is a bad trade -- very, very, high risk trading for a volatile person who easily could implode. But, I hope Tony keeps his mouth shut about everything except hockey, stays off social media entirely, and plays well. I saw someone note that he is being paid to play hockey, not to go on Meet the Press. He should take note of that, and lay low.

Thanks for what you do, Bill.

Niskanen retires

Chuck does nothing but sign Gus. Completely redundant with Ghost is on the roster and a horrendous defensive player.

Chuck panics. Due to AV's inability to utilize the attributes that Ghost provides, there is a disconnect and Chuck USES assests to trade Ghost. Then OVERPAYS in a trade for for a impending UFA RR (or the other way, who cares, couldnt trade for RR w/o trading Ghost)

Signs Yandle.....a worse Gus

Trades OVERPAYS with more assets for TDA, who is basically Ghost

WAY TO GO, HARVARD

how the hell did Biden get elected?
- Sir_Robot_Farts

By getting 306 Electoral College votes (versus Trump's 232). DUH!

(Biden also won the popular vote, unlike his predecessor.)

Some of your best posts are the ones you don’t make.

I learned today

All NHL hockey parents are rich, hope they are open to adopting a 54 year guy who plays hockey and can cook

- wcorvette

Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In something turning

And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning...
