saying you stink takes pressure off?

Seemed more like CYA for Torts but still it has to be better than :

“I’d wet my pants.” — John Tortorella on the thought of Cam York and Jamie Drysdale talking hockey away from the rink

Torts is more caricature than coach.

that hour + long flight must have killed them.

Its not like they fly commercial and they are crammed between a 400lb person and a guy that smells like week old tuna salad that has been sitting in the sun

They fly in luxury - of all the excuse people make for this team this is one of the lamest

60% on draws which is nuts. However, is there a stat on special teams faceoffs?
- 26912 PP

It was in my post.

Yes Bonk was completely overwhelmed last night, as was MacDonald. Pairing them together last night was dumb dumb dumb IMO ... MacDonald needs a full AHL season at least, and Bonk needs another year in the minors and then at least one AHL season before he is ready. It's OK, defenseman take longer to develop, unless your named Orr or Makar. To me Ginning and Andrae should make this team right now, but where would they play, there is no room for them.

Pairing them together was not dumb. You want to see what they can handle on their own merit. Not paired with an NHL vet. If they can't on their own handle pre-season action. They aren't ready for the NHL

Tim Walz was impressive last night.

about as impressive as the Flyers last night. He was tired from flying to ny

Yes, but it was already obvious, at least to me, that on their own they would not be able to handle real NHL hockey. And its not a realistic scenario since if one did make the team, they would be paired with a veteran defenseman.

Did you ever notice politicians never lie, they simply mis-spoke

They went 2-2 on the PP. 1-3 SH. At ES they cleaned the Bruins clock at the dot.

Of all the ways they were completely outplayed it's weird that you are harping on FOs.

I don't believe these stats, the Flyers were not 2-2 on PP draws last night. In fdact I don't recall them winning one faceoff while on the PP.

Lol not if you ask your boy MJL

If you're going to imply someone of something, you should know the facts. Clearly not knowing the facts is a weakness of yours. You had your ass handed to you in a debate using facts, so now you're going to be a jackass.

I think they wanted to show the young guys what it is to be a professional. They see what they have to work on. They see the process …is a great learning experience. Theses guys are a big part of their future. Missing a few OHL games ain’t going to hurt them.

They haven't already seen that? Is missing a few pre season games of training camp days going to hurt? There isn't any reason to still keep them here in my opinion.

I want to know if those that praised Harris for her poise and adamantly stated that the optic of poise superseded the lack of content she put forth will do the same for Vance. Vance not only conducted a masterclass in debate skills and etiquette, he did so with content

That's what iv been saying, why not give them a 3 to 9 game taste of what the nhl season is all about, so when we do send them back, they will have a bigger understanding of what's ahead.
- SlNlSTER

That's a ridiculous reason to extend a players tryout into the regular season. There is only one legitimate reason why that should be done

Pre season is not about a realistic scenario. It is about assessing player in the case of players like that. Has this put the brakes on you pumping up McDonald?

After the next game only Andrae should be kept up. Charlie O says the flyers like the Richard guy.

Content? Guyliner couldn't answer the most basic question of who won the 2020 election. The only reason he's running for VP is that they tried to hang the last one.

I’m fine either way to be honest. Not being close to the situation, hard for me to take a strong stance. I think everyone agrees though that it’s better for both kids to go back for another year in Jr.

Richard has been good. I wish he was 21 and not 27….

He’s not as impressive as Jonesy led us to beleive.
