You have a reading comprehension issue. The context and the comment was regarding the Flyers energy level as the season went along. Not about everything. As far as credibility is concerned. The public record shows who has more credibility between you and I. You can never escape the daily foolishness that you have created.

Yes it does, and I am far ahead of you, that is for sure. If you ever played a sport at a higher level, youl would understand the concept of mental fatigue. When things pile up, at some point an athelete hits a breaking point. That happened to the Flyers this past season in the final 10 or 11 games, this is just a fact, not opinion.

Torts on Drysdale when they acquired him :

“He was up the ice. I want him to go more,” Tortorella said. “He’s a candidate to be like a rover. Not a defenseman, a rover. He’s just on top of the ice the way he skates. There were a couple of times where he was up the ice and we didn’t get him the puck. He was aggressive. I think he’s more than willing to do that.”

A month later :

“I think he’s a work in progress. I think he has a lot to learn,” said head coach John Tortorella on February 8th. “I think he has a lot to learn about positioning, time and space.
..
But just the overall positioning of that play, understanding angles, understanding checking forward, we have a lot of work to do there and we expected that with a 21-year-old kid".


and of course the advanced stats :

Bogus metric, the kid has been hurt for the last two seasons, only playing 42 games total.

You tried weeks back against me, to the point you tried to purposely comment on things that I never said to fit your narrative.

Misquoting me then try to add a argumentative stand from it.

Again I do like some things you say. And it's pretty cut and dry. But I also noticed you are a cowardly fan , because you criticized someone trying to be positive or at lest attempt to see something in a positive light.

It's always easy to criticized being a fan because you leave nothing on the table( that's a cowardly fan)

- SlNlSTER


There's nothing there. You've said nothing. You have this repeated idea that being critical is being cowardly. It is beyond asinine.

Again, I'll give you another chance. Put me in my place. If that's all you've got. It's a waste of time.

Yeah, and in my opinion Torts contributes disproportionately to that mental fatigue with his style of coaching.

Oh jd, you never fail to make a fool of yourself on a daily basis. That is the only thing you are far ahead of me in. The Flyers decline happened well before the final 10 or 11 games.

That's exactly what I was expecting. Guys like you, attempt to take a shot. Then when you confront them, they've got nothing. I would call you cowardly but you just don't have the capability.

Lmfao, wow you are so clueless 🙈, how can someone who writes with so much intelligence be so obvious.

You criticized jd all the time almost daily for being a fan who tends to flip flop on the way the Flyers should be doing things.( but I much rather talk to him as a Flyers fan because he always leaves ideas and talking points on the table, plus he always tries to see the positive even when there is not.)

You've got nothing. I'm here everyday. Put me in my place. Nothing I need to be concerned about. Actually try and talk hockey.

On an unrelated note. May I suggest changing your screen name. You're not very sinister.

yeah very similar. a 2 year deal to a couple middling players versus an 8 year 100 million deal to a stud dman.

The data is from 3 years. Which for Drysdale, is a 99 game sample. Before you lable something as bogus. Maybe try and learn about it.

You are a terrible fan because you believe every word the org says. No you are a terrible fan because you don't believe any of the words the org says. Can't we just agree that the org is the problem?

Anything is possible that's for sure. When the org has been a dumpster fire for a decade, I believe I have earned the right to be apprehensive.
