He ended up living a few years longer than expected. He was diagnosed with a terminal illness several years ago where he was only expected to live a year or two afterwards.

He was on Chiclets not that long ago and made it seem like he was all good. His condition seemed pretty serious though...several transplants iirc.

Guy dies of a heart attack, and this is the first line they can come up with?

"In the end, maybe Gino Odjick’s heart was just too big"

I get it, but just seems cringe to me

Lol what editor allowed this.

If I die of a stroke, someone please ensure my obituary starts with "in the end, maybe Beef's brain was too soaked in blood"

Nope. It will be "the child gets her way"

“Yeah, go ahead and print it.”

The Snow The Goalie guys think Owen Tippett is a “Core Piece” lol

The bar has never been lower in Philadelphia.

Somber Monday Thought:

The Flyers are 3x more likely to make the playoffs (16.5%) this year than land Connor Bedard (5%).

 

[BernieParent]

Ideal and yet still reasonable for me from now until the draft would be to trade JvR and Braun at the TDL, and Hayes (retained) and Provorov for good returns. Good is of course subjective; a 2nd a C prospect for Hayes and a 1st + A/B prospect for Provorov. I am inclined to add Konecny to these trade scenarios to max out on his coming-out season.

 

[wasup]

Was just looking around Philly stat stuff and just noticed Laughton has 11 goals but only 3 of them are at 5 vs 5 . When looking closer at stuff he ain't the only one . 5vs5 goals per 60 tells me a lot more about about a players preformence than their total points .

Fwiw, Evolving Hockey has them at 80 points, 2% chance of making playoffs. But Money Puck has them at 85 points 17%

They wont and not sure what the market is on January 16. Me I move out JVR and Braun asap. I can honestly see both staying. That would be fun.

He's having a very weird season compared to his usual performance.

The Flyers have the most SHG in the league with 8, and Laughton has points on 6 of them. He also has 8 PPP, more than anyone but TK, TDA, and KH.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Playing the right way in Flyer land is like eating a plate of french fries and after it’s gone down a 1/4 bottle of ketchup and proclaim this is the right way to eat french fries.

 

[deadhead]

Chabot just got 8x8 on an extension, Provorov's 2x6.75 looks more attractive by the day.
And Sanheims 8x6.2 looks very reasonable.

Thanks for your answer, although I don't know to what specifically "won't" refers, if not to my entire post.

I think they listened.

“Potential second half improvement.”

Huh? It’s an either an improvement or it isn’t. (Hint: It isn’t) Charlie the Cuck as usual taking the middle road to nowhere.

Well it’s a little late for that considering we’re already in the middle of the Torts-led rebuild…

What if we rebuild the retool the rebuild of the agressive retool we were doing post hextall?
