2022/23 Roster Thread XV: Where Optional Skates are Mandatory

[tymed]

Risto was born to be a bodyguard for a celebrity who no one wants to kill.

Hart is the celebrity, except Risto is the only one trying to kill him.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

When you make the claims you do, yes.

Was there a claim made? Or was there a question asked? Let me know.

 

[Rebels57]

I’d rather see Attard or Z up here improving their game than watching Risto drifting around the ice causing calamities. Aside from getting beat so that opponents can score, Risto has learned how to check opponents into the back of Hart’s head.

I want Risto playing #1 minutes until our draft slot is finalized.

 

[Larry44]

Deady you’re trying to defend Risto’s play by putting out a low bar for him. Better isn’t necessarily good.
I get it that he needs to learn a different type of game to play in order to be effective in the NHL. I’d just rather that he did that somewhere else; perhaps LHV than doing it here. His mistakes are more damaging here. Right now a kid with potential deserves his spot more than he does.

How could anyone defend LimpRisto? Worst D in the league.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

The D sucked last year and you have 5 of the 6 still in the lineup on a consistent basis. Comical.

To give Risto the term and money he got is a disgrace. There is not one team who would have matched that deal. At worst you let him test free agency then decide if you want to match any deal he may have been offered.

Before he played 1 game on his new deal that contract was immovable.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Points for defensemen is a bit stochastic.
Risto xGF 2.07, Ghost xGF 2.21.

Ghost is better offensively on a worse offensive team? While being far better defensively?

 

[Magua]

Ghost is better offensively on a worse offensive team? While being far better defensively?

He talks about the randomness of points, and yet blurts out zero context raw xGF, an on-ice stat, as perfectly illuminative?

Ghost ranks 22/143 defensemen (>400 minutes) in 5v5 Rel xGF/60. Ristolainen ranks 115/143. Ghost is 29/143 in 5v5 p/60. Ristolainen is 142/143 (Justin Braun saving the day!). Of course we watch the games too, and we have more available tracking data. The chasm between these two offensively is as large as the difference between your opinions on key lime pie and pumpkin pie. What are we even doing?

Defensemen are not pies.

Not just all that; a stat where Ghost is better. What are we doing here?

Are we drinking? I'm cool with drinking. I just had a shot of fireball. Things can be set in motion.

This is a pointless discussion, you aren’t a flyers fan. Let me know why you’re here.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Defensemen are not pies.

Most loser position in the game.

What kid grows up wanting to be a defenseman. Low self esteem.

Needs to be a case study on this.

 

[Striiker]

Defensemen are not pies.

Some of them are caked up

 

[blackjackmulligan]

This is a pointless discussion, you aren’t a flyers fan. Let me know why you’re here.

So I will ask you again was there a claim made in the post you responded too or was a question asked?

Love Dayton.

I don’t mean that particular post, I just mean you in general.

You asked a question that a flyers fan would know the answer too.

So we are now on the same page. It was a question. Glad we cleared that up.

I see many many Flyers fans on these boards ask questions they surely know the answer to. So are they not Flyers "fans"?

There’s a difference. And you already know the difference.

But please, continue on. It’s getting old and boring.

Big yawn. Anything else you want to discuss?

Who is your favorite all time flyer?

None of your business, to be completely honest.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Answer his damn question!

 

[Magua]

Questions are so 2022. Starting polls is the way of the future.

 

[Shrike]

None of this matters as long as Chuck Fletcher is still here destroying the Flyers.

When Lord, when is Chuck going to get fired.

I do need to figure out the next chapter of the Bone Tree Saga

We will need a full recap. Waiting a year for a new season is tough.

 

[Rebels57]

Are you cretins really arguing about this shit garbage team on Christmas?
