You know, I rarely ever drink beer anymore and yet yesterday I stopped and bought beer (and a bottle of tequila) for the first time in over half a year and I'm blaming it on this shit stain trade.

not sure why everyone is making a big deal about this...he clearly isn't racist

Again. I had to.

 

[captainpaxil]

What's the crossover of guys who complained about not having ghost and dislike of this move? Because I really think DeAngelo is going to be our top pair guy all year

Can't believe I had to re-use this one so quickly.

My ‘I am not a racist’ shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt

 

[Halladay]

Im not a racist, I just play one on social media.

+/- is the worst stat ever invented

you mean that guy who was waived and NOBODY claimed him ? word is he's a GREAT OFFENSIVE DMAN and nobody claimed him .....I just don't get it, I'm calling Human Resources

 

[Curufinwe]

Basclown is at it again

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I hate to inject hockey into this slop fest , but I will to cleanse the +/- talk. The way Carolina used him is worth noting. @Surrounded By Ahos please correct me if I’m drawing some wrong conclusions from the data I have.

It’s not just that they sheltered him via quality of teammates and shift deployment. It looks to me like they purposely set out to have his partner responsible for puck retrievals whenever possible. It’s not that he was poor at them. They identified his warts and actively tried to remove those responsibilities. I wonder how Provorov is going to respond to being asked to do the job Slavin did for him last year because it’s brutal and thankless.

Sam’s brought way more joy into my life than the Flyers in the last decade. I hope he enjoys retired life, but keeps giving us these gems every once in a while.

There's a reason he is the only "insider" I follow

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I know we already knew this but… imagine denying that Cevin has anything to do with the roster building at this point.

It’s Minnesota and Boston (Kevin Hayes) and that’s it for this organization.

He also had a xGF 56.13%, xGFrel +1.50.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I don't think Hayes had any impetus on the DeAngelo trade. He may have been asked about DeAngelo's personality, but I doubt it was more than that.

The Flyers have been interested in DeAngelo for years. He's a high-scoring RHD with a physical game. With Ellis unlikely to play, and DeAngelo available, it made perfect sense to acquire him, irrespective of Hayes.

Dont be silly. There's NO WAY a player would have input on roster decisions.

I mean. Not even the GM is apparently doing them, his hands are tied. How could a player have any input?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The amount of players that the team has acquired with ties to Hayes can’t reasonably be seen as coincidental anymore.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Hayes knows everyone. That doesn't mean he caused the acquisition of every player he knows.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Zing....

 

[Rebels57]

Well, it seems like I’m the only Canes fan who is as angry about this trade as you guys are.

But that’s only because we have a lot of guys who like to rationalize all the strange machinations of our front office as if they were some kind of geniuses.

This guy is a really good player and you’ll love him if you can somehow get your head around how you know he truly feels about stuff.

But if he does start to feel comfortable and make his way back on to Twitter I’ll enjoy watching the fireworks between him and that Antifa mascot of yours. Maybe they’ll fight!

Nah

Also, WTF are you talking about?

The worst part of the trade for me personally is the amount of weirdos this brings into discussions in my little corner of the world. Not fun ones either. Weird weird.

Saw a comment from a racist guy from Montreal on Twitter that said..."Love the way he plays, love the way he thinks."

Gross people out there man.

The replies on this tweet are some of my favorite in a while

If management has a say, he will absolutely 200% be named the next Captain too...this will make them feel better about trading for the racist since they are friends and he can shield him.

I know we already knew this but… imagine denying that Cevin has anything to do with the roster building at this point.

Imagine letting an injury-prone 50 point low-end 2C build your entire roster
