Well then why don't we just give them our Kevin kurz to give them the whole set?

Another empty netter for Ovi with 0.1 seconds left. 17 away now.

As someone who's watched and liked him since his rookie year, I'm genuinely surprised by Protas's breakout season.

Absolutely love Buffalo Sabres anguish. It’s so beautiful.

Their last playoff goal was scored by Brad Boyes

The question that I posed is why did Buium fall? As I said earlier, I was not asking why the Flyers passed on him. Since Levshunov, Yakemshuk, Parekh, Silayev and Dickinson were all taken ahead of Buium, what was the hole in his game that these clubs saw? Was it talent on the ice or did these clubs not want to deal with KO Sports Agency or was it something else like size. Just wondering.

He fell for the same reason that Risto was a top 10 pick, the Flyers took Morin at 11oa and Provorov went before Rantanen; hockey scouts aren’t all that you think they are.

Most are just ex players that didn’t carve out long NHL careers. They aren’t the smartest bunch. Same with GMs, for every Zito or Tulsky, you get a dozen Brieres.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I have a question. In all seriousness and not in defense of the Flyers passing Buium, why did these other teams let him go by in the draft? I heard one evaluator say before the draft that he felt that Buium should be the first defenseman to go off the board to Chicago. Then he slid down the line. Why did these clubs let him go by them?

Phew, wrong place to ask pal. I'm surprised we haven't had 9 pages of "this team is so dumb." "fold the franchise" "they have no clue". Everyone just stroking each other off.

Be careful what you wish for…

Provorov scored our last goal.

Well I already know that’s standing a while.

I can't imagine what it takes to be the person who reads reasonable responses to a question, proceeds to complain about the answers it would have gotten in your own head, and then put that whole process in writing.

I used to hate ''everything sucks'' mojo here too, genuinely; but after monitoring this team more closely last 1-2 seasons or so I have reached the conclusion this is justified. Please, tell me what recent move can make one optimistic about the thought process of this franchise?

Edit: we lucked into first franchise player since Couts and what are we doing? Torts is punishing him for a risky play here and there and our genius PP specialist moved him to his off side after he had gazillion points from his convenient side early in the season. How does this give any confidence they are not a monkey w a grenade throwing stuff at wall seeing what sticks? What part of giving Deslauriers 4yr contract and NTC makes you think that? Or saying we won't sign gap-fillers ''felt sorry for ya'' vet contracts, then signing EJ?

I don't know your post history. Are you another cuck for Torts we see rampant in our dumb fanbase or are you an independent thinker?

For Hawks I can say that it was because our GM and some of our scouts love Levshunov tools and fact he is a RD

Hawks needed a dman like him in system with only Rinzel and Crevier RD in system while being fairly overloaded with young LD (Vlasic, Korchinski, Nolan, Kaiser and Del Mastro)

Hawks scouts were split on Demidov/Levshunov from reports which is party why our GM tried to trade with Jackets to get #4 pick to grab Demidov at draft

Yea I know I hate that the Flyers have been so bad for the last 13 years or so that fans are complaining about it. I mean can't they just enjoy the shitty product that's been placed before them? What kind of fan are you if you want your team to actually do better? What a bunch of nonsense.

renberg asked why other teams didn't draft Buium earlier, not why the Flyers passed on him. Why would the responses be about how bad the Flyers are? Are there actually any posts in response to this question that instead of focusing on bad processes for other teams trash the Flyers? Everything I recall reading was about teams who drafted earlier and skipped Buium.

There are places and times when this team gets (often rightfully) dogpiled on, but this wasn't one of them, either in question or response.

Thought he would have potentially been a good buy low option when Jarmo was dicking around with him. But that ship has sailed at this point.

Provorov scored our last goal.

I was gonna guess IP or SL.

How dare I disagree with you guys. The audacity! Thanks for putting me in my place.

You responded to the guy asking a question, not anyone giving an answer. What exactly are you disagreeing with?

It always circles back to the same five or six experts who just know the 'right way' (translation: their way and no other). And if you dare to have a different take? Well, prepare to be ridiculed, mocked, and called names—because nothing says 'rational discussion' like a good old-fashioned echo chamber beatdown.
