Well said, but unfortunately won't likely happen. Too often Flyers fans are cannibalistic.

ne truth to the mcnimbleberry roomers?

Yup. Sometimes it's just a fresh start with a different team. Brian Elliott was written off two seasons ago. Then there's the Mike Smith example given earlier too.

Fans also don't watch guys on other teams as closely or with such a critical eye. The grass is always greener yada yada yada.

Big difference between discourse and what gets let go 'round here.

EDIT: Humongous trick.

I agree, however what cracks me up is this misconception that because there is a defensive breakdown, it's the defensemen's fault the goal was scored. Not for nothing, I watched Detroit have about 4 really big defensive breakdowns right after they scored to make it 4-3 in the 3rd and a journeyman goalie named JOEY MCDONALD came up with 4 really big saves. The problem is compounding itself because when there is a breakdown the goalies aren't bailing the guys out and when the goalies are hot, they are being hung out to dry at times. It's just a really bad combination.

I haven't had much chance to see the Flyers play this season... but I will say this team has solid bunch of young forwards. Schenn especially impressed me (and the kid is only going to get better). If this team keeps building around your current core forwards by adding some solid defensemen, this team will have the complete package. Young players take time to develop... so give this team a little more time before you let loose the lynch mob. Any other Wings fan will tell you the same thing. Ken Holland knows this and that is why he rarely hits the panic button and makes a bad trade.

The defense may need some tweaks from what I'm hearing, but overall you have a very good team. I wish the Wings had more team toughness like the Flyers got. Wings need some of that sandpaper to make it to the Finals. Wings need to ass some size too to complement their skill.

Agreed. But the circular arguments do get tired. And sometimes it is obvious by the expressed opinion that a poster hasn't even the tiniest idea of what is going on. It can be frustrating to people who do pay attention and who do know/follow the game.

Theres nothing to look into it. People post things and people female dog about it either way there is no right or wrong answer. If you rip a player your considered a troll and if you praise one your considered a Homer. How about just having hockey conversation whether you agree or disagree with a poster.

Gets let go? You mean I'm supposed to be evaluating content, too? What judgement shall I use? My opinion? Yours? MJL's? Butsy's? A consensus would work for you? We never reach one, by the way.

Everyone gets an opinion. But just saying everything sucks over and over again isn't discourse, it is, indeed trolling.

I understand all that but you have the option to ignore that person(s) post. So it makes no sense to call people trolls or be ignorant bc you think they are clueless.
