2023-24 Roster Thread #6: A Hall of Famer, a doctor, a policeman and a moose walk into a bar with a Bundy...

[Curufinwe]

Remember when the justification for keeping Frost benched was that you don’t change a winning lineup ?

 

[Rich Nixon]

Can't Cutter walk away from the Flyers in 2 more years , why should we assume he wants to be anywhere near Torts ?

MM will want zero to do with Torts, he won't make it through the preseason.

not sure that's a concern.

[SolidSnakeUS]

So what you're telling me is, Frost is going to be scratched?

 

[Tripod]

So what you're telling me is, Frost is going to be scratched?

Yup.

Just a mind f*** so Frost thinks he might be playing, only for King Torts to give the thumbs down

 

[freakydallas13]

Bit of a trick trivia question - which Flyers forward has the 3rd best ESP/60 since the start of 21-22? I set the minimum ES TOI to 200.

1. Atkinson - 2.55 in 86 GP
2. Konecny - 2.4 in 152 GP
3.
4. Farabee - 2.11 in 158 GP
5. Giroux - 2.07 in 57 GP

No-ah 'Scorin' Cates?

(Say it with an Italian accent)

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I hope Richards has straightened himself out and is in a better place. His life was a mess at the end of his career

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Yup.

Just a mind f*** so Frost thinks he might be playing, only for King Torts to give the thumbs down

It’s beyond pathetic what Torts is doing to the kid. I don’t care if you don’t like him as a player. He is tearing this kid down because of a ego trip.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Good.

Let's not pretend he found painkillers on accident. All those rumors hit full-swing after he and the Flyers decided he should play a season on a wrist that needed surgical repair. Not a coincidence.

Is it Deslauriers? He's very heavy, you know.

Wait, I can do better.

"Is Cates Italian? Because he No-ah scoring."

Nailed it.

I feel the same way about those who act like scratching Frost is inconceivable & the product of an evil personal vendetta.

But this is what i'm talking . You look at Frost's lack of production this year or play and you put the direct blame on him . You seem to neglect the fact that this moron we have for a head coach is relentless on him trying to change his game . Scratching him , public trashing him and in general shitting all over him . His confidence will be shot and will be playing like a whipped puppy .

Now , do you blame the player or should the coach shoulder the blame . This has happened way to much on this team since Tort's has been here and his track record on other teams has been nothing but the same .

When he looks like a wolf , acts like a wolf , smells like a wolf he's probably a F ing WOLF . Blame the player if you want but asshole is more responsible for this then you let on .

[Curufinwe]

The answer is Brassard.

 

[trostol]

Not just Frost...the whole line

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Frost and Hart back in tomorrow, per the Torts post-practice comments.

 

[Tripod]

Rebuilding......when only under aged 25 guys get scratched.

What an era.

Frost and Hart back in tomorrow, per the Torts post-practice comments.

Hart will get re-hurt before this month is over.

Petition to nickname him Fence.

Noah "Fence" Cates. Just rolls off the tongue.

 

[Striiker]

Frosts fault.
A good offensive player would’ve aimed the shot for TK

There’s more. Frost IMO hasn’t been great, but has definitely setup at least 4-5 grade A chances, several to TK.

Frost should definitely be at 3-4 points far.

I think it's Ellis .

Frost's soft defensive play made TK shank this one wide.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

literally plays the game at a faster tempo than almost anyone on the team and is one of the lone players willing and capable of driving a puck up the middle of the ice. just clown shit.

I have zero idea what you’re watching if you think Frost plays “at a faster tempo than almost anyone on the team.”

Lack of playing pace has been one of the biggest knocks on Frost since his junior days.

This is as bad as Beef not realizing that Carolina is a dump-and-chase team.

Have you ever wondered why you're the only one with this appraisal, or why you're routinely incredibly wrong about players? Remember mocking everyone here who told you that Yandle is shit? Remember how excited you were to sign him?

I have news for you, Carolina is still more organized in both controlled and dumped entries than teams like the Flyers, who barely work out such details ever. And that was the core of my point. Teams like Colorado, Carolina, TB, all are vastly more detail-oriented and planned out on the X's and O's side. Compare that to our coach who boasted proudly about how he doesn't do that anymore. The percentage of Carolina making either plays doesn't change that, even if I was wrong. And I'm willing to get I wasn't wrong by much at all. Which is more than can be said about your complete whiffs on players.

And let's not forget that you think a teams system is nothing more than their formation, and have argued as much for years now. Shall we also discuss how you believe Hagg is better than Ghost but are too afraid to openly say it, and thus resort to innuendo?

You are constantly incorrect. Have a scrap of self-reflection for once. It's rare to see someone with an ego as massive as yours for no reason.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I wonder if the guy circled plays slow hockey?
